FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Nike LD-1000 is inspired by original long-distance running shoes from 1977, it is now designed as a lifestyle and sportswear sneaker. For modern running performance, we recommend dedicated running shoes with contemporary cushioning and support technologies.
How do I determine my size?
The Nike LD-1000 follows standard Nike women's UK sizing. If you typically wear a UK 12 in Nike shoes, this size should be consistent. However, fit can vary slightly between models, so if possible, try them on or consult a size chart.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Nike LD-1000. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided, which suggest hand-cleaning with mild soap and water.
What is the primary material of the upper for this specific variant?
This specific Nike LD-1000 variant (White - UK 12) features a polyester textile upper, offering breathability and a lightweight feel. Other variants in the LD-1000 series may incorporate leather or a combination of materials.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The Nike LD-1000 provides standard arch support for a lifestyle sneaker. If you require significant arch support due to specific foot conditions, you may consider adding custom or over-the-counter insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the laces. If still uncomfortable, ensure you have the correct size. Foot size can vary, so comparing with other Nike models or trying them on at the end of the day when feet are largest can help.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by air trapped between the insole and the shoe's sole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath it.
Stains on the polyester upper.
For light stains, gently dab with a soft cloth moistened with water and a tiny bit of mild detergent. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can spread the stain. For tougher stains, consider a specialist shoe cleaner designed for textiles.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of your Nike LD-1000:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the polyester textile upper, gently wipe away dirt and stains using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soapy water to clean the rubber waffle outsole, removing any trapped dirt or debris.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
