FAQs
Are the Nike Shox TL Trainers suitable for wide feet?
The trainers feature a standard width. While the lace-up system allows for some adjustment, individuals with very wide feet may want to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
The Shox TL offers cushioning and impact absorption, making them suitable for shorter runs and training. For marathon-length distances or if you prefer very soft cushioning, other Nike running models might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the Shox columns?
You can gently clean the Shox columns with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using high-pressure water or abrasive cleaners on the cushioning units.
What is the main benefit of the Shox technology?
The Shox technology's primary benefit is its unique cushioning system, which helps absorb impact and provides a responsive feel underfoot.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Nike Shox TL Trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from materials that offer breathability and support but will not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
What does the TPU heel plate do?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel plate is designed to provide enhanced lateral stability and support to the heel area, reducing unwanted foot movement during activity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
This is normal for the Shox technology. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Reduced traction
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. Dirt buildup can affect grip. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth.
Discomfort during intense running
The Shox system is designed for cushioning and stability. For very high-mileage or soft-cushioning preference, consider a different Nike running shoe model.
Outer material appears dirty
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
