Fit & Care
Fits as expected for most people
We don’t recommend using a washing machine or dryer to clean your shoes. Washing machines expose shoes to complete submersion and excessive agitation. Machine dryers subject shoes to excessive heat. Both can affect material integrity, shoe construction, and performance. Instead please follow the care instructions provided in Nike's Cleaning Guide.
