FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Waffle Racer is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While it shares a heritage with running shoes, it lacks the technical support needed for modern athletic running.
How should I clean the black nylon upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose debris, followed by a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Yes, these are designed to standard UK adult sizing. We recommend choosing your typical Nike shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the nylon material. Always clean by hand.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from nylon, which provides a lightweight and breathable fit.
Is the sole non-marking?
The rubber waffle outsole is generally safe for indoor floors, but performance can vary depending on specific floor treatments.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on nylon fabric
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
Creasing in the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the waffle outsole is durable, exercise extra caution on wet tiles or smooth metal as the grip profile is optimized for standard pavement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Waffle Racer Trainers maintain their appearance and structure, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Sizing: These shoes are standard UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider testing fitment thoroughly.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the nylon upper with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes, as this can degrade the materials and adhesives.
- Air Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can cause the materials to warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
