FAQs
Are these Nike LD-1000 trainers suitable for sports or running?
While they are 'trainers,' the Nike LD-1000's premium leather construction and classic design make them more suitable for casual, everyday wear and style purposes rather than intensive athletic activities like running or rigorous sports.
How do I ensure the leather stays in good condition?
Regular cleaning with a damp cloth, followed by periodic application of a good quality leather conditioner, is key to keeping the leather supple, preventing cracks, and extending the life of your trainers.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Nike shoes generally tend to fit true to size. This specific variant is a UK size 6. If you're unsure, it's always best to try them on or consult a Nike size chart.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture. However, for heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions, we recommend applying a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather to provide better protection and prevent water damage.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper of the Nike LD-1000 trainers is crafted from premium leather, offering both durability and a classic, refined aesthetic.
How do I remove mud or stubborn dirt from the leather?
Allow any mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a soft-bristled brush. For remaining dirt, use a damp cloth. For more ingrained dirt, a specialized leather cleaner can be applied as per its instructions.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Regularly apply a quality leather conditioner or moisturizer. This replenishes natural oils and prevents the leather from drying out.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The leather will soften and mold to your foot over time.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Allow your trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe inserts, or a sprinkle of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A squeak can sometimes come from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insoles, cleaning underneath them, and then reinserting. A light sprinkle of powder (like talcum powder) under the insole can also help.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather.
For light scuffs, a soft cloth and a small amount of leather conditioner can often buff them out. For deeper scratches, consider using a leather repair cream or polish that matches the shoe's color.

Care
Proper care will significantly extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Nike LD-1000 trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt and dust. For dried mud or grime, use a soft brush.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Apply it according to the product's instructions, usually with a soft cloth, then wipe off any excess.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner or moisturizer every few weeks (or more frequently if the leather looks dry) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This helps maintain its natural oils.
- Water Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to provide an extra layer of protection against moisture.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your leather trainers, as this can damage the material and construction.
