FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Nike Shox TL is designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While the Shox technology offers cushioning, they are not optimized for the specific demands of running compared to dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the Shox sole?

Wipe the Shox sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the sole, as this can damage the material.

What is the main benefit of the Shox technology?

The Shox technology consists of columns that absorb impact and provide responsive cushioning, offering a unique feel and protecting joints during impact.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the mesh upper offers some breathability, these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces.

What is the fit like?

The fit is generally true to size, with a padded inner for comfort. However, the distinct sole design means they might feel different from standard trainers. A break-in period is recommended.

What other colors are available for the Shox TL series?

The Shox TL series is available in a range of colors, including Black, Sunrise Gradient Orange, and White with Silver, often with variations in materials like leather or polyester.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If slightly tight, wear with thin socks and allow a break-in period. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a looser fit.

Sole feels stiff initially

The Shox sole requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the sole to conform to your foot's movement.

Mesh upper seems dirty

Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water. Dab with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Discomfort in the heel area

Ensure socks are pulled up properly to avoid friction. Check that the heel counter is not causing pressure; this may resolve with a break-in period.
