FAQs

Are these Nike Total 90 shoes suitable for playing football?

No, while inspired by the original football boot, this particular model has been redesigned with a flat rubber sole specifically for urban lifestyle and casual wear. It is not intended or suitable for athletic performance or playing football.

How should I clean the 'Light Orewood Brown' leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for shoes. Follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What kind of sole do these shoes have?

These shoes feature a flat rubber sole. This design provides excellent grip and comfort for everyday walking on urban surfaces like pavements and streets, contrasting with the studded soles of their football predecessors.

Is the asymmetrical lacing purely for aesthetics, or does it offer a functional benefit?

The asymmetrical lacing serves both aesthetic and functional purposes. While contributing to the shoe's distinct look, it can also allow for a more anatomical and snug fit, potentially reducing pressure points on the top of the foot.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, Nike lifestyle shoes are considered true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying both options or checking specific sizing charts if available.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some natural water resistance, but these shoes are not waterproof. For prolonged exposure to rain, it's advisable to treat them with a water-repellent spray designed for leather to provide extra protection and prevent water stains. Always allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from premium quality leather, offering both durability and a comfortable feel.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house for the first few days to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape naturally. Thicker socks can also help.

Scuffs or minor marks appear on the leather.

For light scuffs, a soft, dry cloth can often buff them out. For deeper marks, a leather cleaner followed by a matching shoe polish or leather balm can help conceal the damage and restore the finish. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes make a squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the sole itself squeaks, ensure it's dry and clean.

Shoes appear dull or faded over time.

Regular cleaning and conditioning are key. Use a quality leather conditioner (suitable for light brown leather) to rehydrate the material and restore its natural luster. For an enhanced shine, a clear or matching leather polish can be applied after conditioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Nike Total 90 shoes require no special setup. Simply unbox, loosen the asymmetrical laces, slide your feet in, and adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. We recommend wearing them for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They are best paired with:

  • Casual Attire: Jeans, chinos, shorts, and casual trousers.
  • Streetwear: Hoodies, t-shirts, bomber jackets.
  • Everyday Outfits: For work (if casual dress code permits), social events, and daily errands.

They are not compatible with competitive sports or activities requiring specialized athletic footwear.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your leather Nike Total 90 shoes:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important for the 'Light Orewood Brown' colorway to maintain its richness.
  3. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
