FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?
No, the Nike LD-1000 Leather Trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and comfort, not for performance running or intense sports activities. Their construction focuses on style and durability for general use.
How do I determine if UK size 4 will fit me?
It's best to measure your foot length and compare it to Nike's official size chart. Alternatively, if you have other Nike shoes, you can gauge the fit based on those, noting that shoe types can have slight variations.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for leather shoes. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure. Please follow the manual care instructions for cleaning.
How do I protect the leather from water damage?
To protect your leather trainers from water, apply a waterproof spray specifically designed for leather footwear. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or if the shoes have been exposed to significant moisture.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to protect the inside of your shoes, wear breathable socks. Cotton or synthetic blends are generally good choices for everyday wear, providing comfort and moisture wicking.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
The leather may need conditioning. Clean the surface thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a clean cloth.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.
Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper marks, a leather repair balm or shoe cream in a matching colour can help conceal them. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If it persists, check the outsole for any loose parts.

Care Instructions
To ensure your leather trainers remain in excellent condition and last for years, follow these care tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust after each use. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a cloth, then gently wipe.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every 1-2 months (or more frequently if worn daily) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Apply a small amount with a clean cloth and buff gently.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Always test any new product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture, preventing odors.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.
