FAQs
Are the Nike P-6000 true to size?
Generally, Nike P-6000s are considered true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual Nike UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.
Can I use these shoes for running or sports?
The Nike P-6000 is designed as a casual lifestyle sneaker. While it offers excellent comfort and support for daily wear and light activities, it is not engineered for performance running or intense sports training.
How do I clean the leather and suede parts of the shoe?
For leather, use a soft cloth with a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap solution. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water on suede.
What is the inspiration behind the P-6000 design?
The Nike P-6000 is inspired by a fusion of past Nike Pegasus models, specifically drawing heavily from the 2006 Nike Air Pegasus, to create a modern sneaker with a distinctive early 2000s running aesthetic.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The stacked foam midsole of the Nike P-6000 provides good cushioning and general support for everyday wear. For individuals requiring specific orthotic or arch support, custom insoles can often be used.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended, especially for the leather and suede components. It's best to wear them in dry to mildly damp environments.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. If new, the shoes may need a brief 'break-in' period. Try wearing them for short periods initially. Check your sock thickness as well.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by trapped air between the insole and midsole, or moisture within the shoe. Try removing and reinserting the insole. If it persists, Info needed: [further troubleshooting steps, e.g., applying baby powder under the insole].
Materials appear dull or dirty.
Follow the 'Care' instructions. Use appropriate cleaners for mesh, leather, and suede. Regular cleaning prevents build-up and maintains the shoe's appearance.
Poor traction on certain surfaces.
Check the outsole for excessive dirt or debris build-up. Clean the tread thoroughly with a brush and water. If the sole appears worn smooth, the traction will naturally decrease over time.

- Weather: Best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. While the leather offers some protection, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud is not recommended to preserve the materials.
Care
Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your Nike P-6000s, especially given their mixed material construction:
- Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt and dust, gently brush off loose debris with a soft-bristled brush.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks on the mesh, use a mild soap solution mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently dab the stained area. For leather sections, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Suede Care: For suede overlays on the toe and heel, use a suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. Avoid getting suede wet if possible.
- Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the rubber midsole and outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. A soft brush can help clean textured areas.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your Nike P-6000s in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
