FAQs
Are Nike Air Max 90s true to size?
Nike Air Max 90s generally fit true to size for most people. However, foot shapes vary. Since this is a UK Size 16, it's particularly important to refer to Nike's official size chart and consider if you've worn Nike shoes before for consistency.
Can I wear these for running or working out?
While the foam midsole provides good cushioning, the Nike Air Max 90 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. For dedicated running or intense workouts, we recommend using specialized athletic footwear designed for those specific activities.
How often should I clean my Air Max 90s?
The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions you wear them in. For regular use, a quick wipe down after each wear helps. A more thorough cleaning every few weeks or once a month will keep them looking fresh and extend their lifespan.
What is the benefit of the 'waffle pattern' on the outsole?
The waffle pattern on the rubber outsole is a signature Nike design element. Its primary benefit is to provide excellent multi-directional traction and enhanced durability, making the shoes stable and long-lasting on various surfaces.
What does 'variable width lacing' mean?
Variable width lacing refers to the design of the lacing system that allows you to adjust the tightness across different sections of your foot. This enables a more customized and secure fit, accommodating various foot widths and preferences for comfort.
Is the Nike Air Max 90 comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the foam midsole cushioning in the Air Max 90 is specifically designed to provide comfortable support for all-day wear. Many users find them exceptionally comfortable for everyday activities, standing, and walking.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel too loose/tight.
Utilize the variable width lacing system. Experiment with different lacing patterns and tensions across the eyelets to achieve a more personalized and comfortable fit. Trying different sock thicknesses can also help.
The shoes are squeaking when I walk.
Squeaking can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then applying a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe before replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to trapped moisture or a manufacturing issue.
My Air Max 90s are starting to smell.
Allow your shoes to air out completely after each wear, ideally in a well-ventilated area. Remove insoles periodically to air them out separately. For persistent odors, use shoe deodorizers or place baking soda in socks inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and smells.
The traction seems to be decreasing.
Regularly clean the rubber waffle outsole to remove embedded dirt, mud, and small stones that can reduce grip. A stiff brush and water can help restore the original traction capabilities. Ensure the outsole is completely dry before wearing.
