FAQs

What is Nike Shox technology?

Nike Shox technology features a system of resilient, hollow columns (often referred to as 'pillars') in the midsole. These columns are designed to provide superior cushioning and energy return, absorbing impact and bouncing back to propel you forward.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the Shox TL offers excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and daily activities. For dedicated high-performance running, Nike offers other specialized running shoe lines that prioritize lightweight design and specific running biomechanics.

How do I choose the correct size?

We recommend referring to Nike's official size guide, as sizing can vary slightly between models. It's often best to measure your foot length and compare it to the size chart to ensure the most accurate fit. These trainers are in UK Men's size 12.

Can I machine wash my Nike Shox TL Trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, glues, and the intricate Shox cushioning system. Always clean your trainers by hand using the care instructions provided in this guide.

How do I keep the Shox columns clean?

To clean the Shox columns, use a soft, damp cloth or a small, soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) with mild soap and water. Gently scrub to remove dirt and debris from between the pillars, then wipe clean and air dry.

What kind of support do these trainers offer?

The Nike Shox TL Trainers offer robust support through their structured upper and the stable platform created by the Shox column system. This combination provides a secure fit and helps maintain foot stability during everyday movements.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially

Like many new shoes, Shox TL trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot's shape. Ensure you have the correct size.

Squeaking sound while walking

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between shoe components or minor wear. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole. If the squeak persists, ensure the shoes are thoroughly dry after cleaning.

Shox columns appear dirty or discolored

Regularly clean the Shox columns with a soft, damp cloth or a small brush to remove accumulated dirt. For stubborn marks, a gentle shoe cleaner designed for rubber or plastic components can be used.

Laces constantly come undone

Ensure you are using a secure knotting method, such as a double knot. Over time, worn laces may need to be replaced with new ones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your trainers:

  • Cleaning: For surface dirt, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes. For tougher spots, a soft-bristled brush can be used carefully on the upper.
  • Shox Columns: Pay attention to the Shox pillars. Use a small, soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently remove dirt or debris that may accumulate between the columns.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape if storing for extended periods.
  • Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge your trainers in water, as this can degrade materials and glues.
