FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Daybreak has running heritage, this modern release is primarily designed for casual wear and comfort, not high-performance athletic running like contemporary running shoes.

How do I determine my size?

These sneakers are listed in UK men's sizing. We recommend checking a Nike sizing chart or trying them on if possible, as sizing can vary slightly between models. This specific pair is UK 7.

What are the main materials used?

The upper features breathable textile mesh with plush suede overlays. It also includes a foam midsole and a rubber Waffle outsole.

Can I wear them in the rain?

While they can withstand light rain, the suede components are sensitive to water and heavy rain may cause staining or damage. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

How should I clean the Waffle outsole?

Use a stiff brush, like an old toothbrush, and mild soapy water to scrub dirt and debris from the rubber Waffle outsole. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.

Is the 'Flax' color mentioned in the description the same as 'Brown'?

For this specific product variant, the primary color is Brown. The description uses 'Flax' to refer to the textile mesh material used in the upper, which contributes to the overall brownish tone of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction, restoring its texture. For deeper cleaning, use a suede eraser.

Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are not overtightened. Wear thin socks initially or consider wearing them for short periods to break them in, as materials may soften with use.

Minor dirt marks on textile mesh

Lightly dampen a soft cloth with a mixture of mild soap and cool water. Gently dab and wipe the affected area, then air dry.

Squeaking noise when walking

Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, a little baby powder or cornstarch applied under the insole can reduce friction-related squeaks.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Nike Daybreak sneakers.

  • Cleaning the Textile Mesh: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub in circular motions.
  • Cleaning the Suede Overlays: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive water, as it can stain suede.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber Waffle outsole with a brush and soapy water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
  • Drying: Always air dry sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material damage or discoloration. Stuff with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
