FAQs
What activities are these Nike Initiator trainers best suited for?
The Nike Initiator trainers are designed for general comfort and durability, making them suitable for daily wear, walking, light gym workouts, and casual use. They offer reliable support for everyday activities.
How do I clean my Nike Initiator trainers effectively?
For the synthetic fibre material, gently wipe clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The Nike Initiator trainers feature a heel height of 3.25 inches, providing a subtle lift and contributing to the shoe's overall comfort and profile.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
These Nike Initiator trainers are designed with a medium width. If you typically require a wide fit, you may find them to be snug. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper part of the Nike Initiator trainers is constructed from durable synthetic fibre, known for its resilience and ease of maintenance.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather conditions?
While the synthetic material offers some inherent water resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. For optimal longevity and comfort, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or standing in puddles.
Is the Metallic Silver finish durable?
The metallic finish is designed to be durable for everyday wear. Like most finishes, it can show minor scuffs over time with heavy or abrasive use. Regular gentle cleaning as per care instructions will help maintain its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
First, ensure you purchased the correct size (UK 14). Try adjusting the lacing pattern to either loosen or tighten the fit across your foot. Always try them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
A squeaking sound occurs while walking.
Check if the insoles are properly seated within the shoe; sometimes they can shift and cause friction. New soles can also squeak on certain surfaces, which usually subsides with wear. If persistent, a light sprinkle of baby powder under the insole might help.
Foot odor is present after wearing.
Ensure your trainers are aired out after every use, preferably in a well-ventilated area. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts, foot powder, or an anti-bacterial shoe spray. Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also significantly help.
The synthetic material appears scuffed or dirty.
For light marks, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the affected area. For tougher dirt, prepare a solution of mild soap and water, gently scrub with a soft brush, and then wipe clean. Always allow to air dry completely.
The metallic silver finish is losing its shine.
Gently wipe the metallic areas with a very soft, damp cloth to remove dust and smudges. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the finish. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain its luster.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Nike Initiator trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic fibre upper, use a soft brush or cloth. Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with lukewarm water. Gently scrub dirty areas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) to remove dirt and debris from the outsole and midsole.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can damage the synthetic materials and adhesives.
- Odor Prevention: To prevent odors, ensure your trainers are aired out after each use. Consider using shoe trees or odor-absorbing inserts.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
