FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Shox TL is designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While the Shox technology offers impact protection, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic activities like competitive running.

How do I clean the leather and mesh parts?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clean the leather and mesh. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used cautiously. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'TL' stand for in Shox TL?

While Nike does not officially confirm, 'TL' is widely understood to stand for 'Total Level', referencing the shoe's comprehensive cushioning and support system.

How does the Shox technology provide impact protection?

The Shox system consists of columns that compress upon impact, absorbing shock and then returning energy to provide a responsive feel.

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, Nike Shox TL models fit true to size. However, individual fit can vary. Trying them on or consulting user reviews for specific sizing advice is recommended.

What is the 'Sunrise Gradient' colourway?

The 'Sunrise Gradient' refers to a colour palette that transitions from lighter shades to darker, often featuring oranges and yellows, reminiscent of a sunrise.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or alternative insoles for personalized comfort and support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

This is normal for new Shox models. Wear them for short periods to break them in; the cushioning will become more responsive over time.

Discomfort in the heel

Ensure the laces are tied correctly, providing adequate midfoot support. If discomfort persists, consider the fit and if insoles might be beneficial.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Use a soft brush with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh areas. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Shox columns making noise

Minor creaking can occur with use. Ensure the shoes are properly laced. If excessive noise persists, contact customer support.
