FAQs

Are these suitable for running?

While inspired by classic running shoes, the Nike Daybreak Sneakers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and comfort, not high-performance running.

What materials are the shoes made from?

The upper features a combination of breathable mesh, canvas, and shaggy suede overlays, along with a foam midsole and rubber waffle outsole.

How do I clean the suede parts?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water excessively on suede.

Are they water-resistant?

The suede and textile materials offer limited water resistance. It's recommended to avoid heavy rain or puddles. A protective spray can enhance water repellency.

What is the fit like?

The Nike Daybreak generally fits true to size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size up for comfort, especially if you prefer a slightly looser fit.

What does 'waffle sole' mean?

The 'waffle sole' is an iconic Nike innovation, inspired by founder Bill Bowerman's idea of creating traction patterns from a waffle iron. It provides excellent grip and cushioning.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes. Always clean by hand using appropriate methods for suede and textile.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the nap. For dirt, use a suede eraser before brushing.

Sneakers have an unpleasant odor

Remove insoles to air out, or use shoe deodorizers/baking soda sachets. Ensure shoes dry completely after wear.

Textile upper appears stained

Gently spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and water, using a soft cloth or brush. Blot dry, do not rub harshly.

Sole losing grip

Inspect the rubber outsole for wear. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris that could reduce traction.

Care Instructions

To preserve the appearance and longevity of your Daybreak sneakers, particularly their suede and textile components, follow these guidelines:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks on suede, use a specialized suede brush or eraser. For textile areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  2. Deep Cleaning: For overall cleaning, use a sneaker-specific cleaning solution designed for mixed materials. Apply with a soft brush and rinse sparingly.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials.
  4. Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically for suede and textile to help repel water and stains.
  5. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure and materials.
