FAQs
How do I clean the Shox midsole?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the Shox columns. Avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Nike Shox TL provides cushioning, but it is primarily designed for style and general wear or light training. For marathon running, specialized running shoes offering specific support and energy return might be more appropriate.
What is the main benefit of the Shox technology?
The primary benefit of Shox technology is its ability to absorb impact effectively through its unique column structure, providing a cushioned and stable ride while reducing stress on the joints.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. They can be worn in light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. Ensure they are thoroughly dried afterwards.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to consider trying the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially given the structured nature of the Shox system. However, individual foot shape varies, so checking customer reviews or trying them on if possible is advised.
How durable is the outsole tread?
The outsole is designed for durability with a textured grip tread, intended to provide long-lasting traction for everyday wear and light athletic activities.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort or stiffness
The Shox cushioning system may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they become more flexible and conform to your feet.
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped within the Shox columns or friction between sole components. Ensure shoes are dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder applied around the edges of the sole unit might help. If the noise is significant and persistent, contact customer support.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. Consider replacing the laces with ones that offer better grip or trying a different lacing technique.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces can be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt or debris can impact traction. For very wet conditions, exercise caution.
