FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While featuring 'retro running sensibilities,' the Nike Shox Ride 2 is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe. It offers comfort and cushioning for casual wear and light activity rather than high-performance athletic running.
How do I clean the different materials on the upper?
For the ripstop base, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Suede areas require a specialized suede brush and cleaner. Leather parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner, followed by a conditioner. Always air dry.
What is Nike Shox technology?
Nike Shox technology utilizes distinctive columnar structures in the heel to provide responsive cushioning and impact absorption, delivering a unique bouncy feel.
What are Max Air units?
Max Air units are Nike's proprietary air-filled pockets that provide lightweight, durable cushioning, typically used in the forefoot of this model for added comfort.
Is the sizing standard for Nike?
Nike sizing is generally consistent. This specific pair is a UK 6. If you're unsure, comparing it to other Nike footwear you own or consulting a Nike size chart is recommended.
Can these shoes be worn in all weather conditions?
The durable ripstop, suede, and leather materials offer some resistance, but the shoes are not explicitly waterproof. For longevity and to protect the materials, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or very wet conditions.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Any comfortable athletic or casual socks will work. The choice depends on personal preference for thickness and material, which can also influence the overall fit and feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size (this model is UK 6). Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a more customized fit. Consider wearing socks of different thicknesses.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur from friction between parts of the sole or upper. Lightly apply talcum powder between the insole and the shoe's interior, or ensure the outsole is clean and dry.
Dirt and scuffs are difficult to remove.
Use appropriate cleaning tools for the specific materials: a soft brush for ripstop, a suede brush for suede, and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for leather. Regular cleaning is easier than deep cleaning.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. The rope laces might require a firmer tie than standard flat laces.

Care
To maintain the condition and longevity of your Nike Shox Ride 2, consider the following:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris from the ripstop, suede, and leather surfaces. For suede, use a specialized suede brush. For leather, a leather cleaner and conditioner can help prevent drying and cracking.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and colours.
