FAQs
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash these trainers. The suede and textile materials, along with the adhesives, can be damaged by the harsh cycles and detergents. Always follow the spot cleaning and air-drying instructions.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
While comfortable, the Nike LD-1000 Trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-performance running or intense sports. Their construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over athletic support and cushioning.
How often should I apply a suede protector?
It's recommended to apply a suede protector before the first wear and then reapply every few weeks or months, depending on how often you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to. Reapply after any deep cleaning.
What should I do if my suede trainers get wet?
If they get wet, gently blot away excess water with a clean cloth. Stuff them with paper towels (unprinted) to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Let them air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Do not force dry them, as this can damage the suede.
How can I remove scuffs from the suede?
For light scuffs, use a suede eraser (often found in shoe care kits) to gently rub the affected area. Follow up with a suede brush to restore the nap. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Are these trainers true to size?
Nike trainers generally run true to size, but fit can vary slightly between models. This specific pair is UK size 13. If you are unsure, it's always best to compare your foot measurements to Nike's official size chart or try them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For persistent dirt, use a suede eraser followed by brushing. Apply a suede protector regularly.
Stains on textile upper
Spot clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth or brush. Gently scrub the stain, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Air dry thoroughly.
Trainers feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size (this pair is UK 13). Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Adjust lacing for optimal comfort.
Unpleasant odor
Remove insoles and air out the trainers. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and leave overnight. Ensure trainers are fully dry after wear before storing.
Loss of shape over time
Use shoe trees when storing to help maintain the original form. Avoid stuffing them into tight spaces when not worn.

Product Care
Maintaining the quality of your suede and textile trainers is key to their longevity.
General Cleaning
- Remove Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush works best) to gently brush off any loose dirt or dust from both suede and textile areas.
- Spot Clean Suede: For minor stains on suede, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp (not wet) cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner. Rub gently in one direction. Allow to air dry completely.
- Clean Textile: For textile areas, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush. Gently scrub the affected area. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Air Dry: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage and shrinkage.
Specific Suede Care
- Water Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray regularly, especially if you anticipate wearing them in damp conditions. Reapply after cleaning.
- Brush Suede: After cleaning and drying, use a suede brush to restore the nap and texture of the suede.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or washing machines, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
