FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Nike Shox R4 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. While comfortable for walking, they are not intended for high-performance long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
The Nike Shox R4 fits true to standard Nike sizing. If you have previously owned Nike trainers, we recommend choosing that same size.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
How do I maintain the white colourway?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner for white shoes and a soft-bristled brush to treat stains promptly to prevent them from setting.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
No, the materials are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather to provide light protection against spills.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the top of the foot
Try a different lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelets where the pressure is highest to increase volume.
Squeaking sound when walking
Ensure the outsole is free of debris. If the sound persists, ensure the removable insole is seated flat inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Shox R4 remain in top condition, start by ensuring the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear. For cleaning, remove loose surface dirt with a soft brush, then wipe the upper and midsole with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the adhesives and foam integrity. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
