Nike offer a variety of different silhouettes, and their shaping could differ for your sizing. Nikes are a worthwhile investment, and making sure your trainers fit perfectly is essential to enjoying the full Nike experience.

Nike trainers should ideally be tried on before purchasing (unless you’ve previously owned the same style and you’re sure that size is comfortable). You should always have a thumb’s width between the front of the shoe and your toes to allow for optimal comfort.
Do Nike trainers stretch?
Nike trainers do stretch if worn regularly. They will not lose their integral shape but added room will be noticed eventually when wearing your trainers continuously. If you wish to deliberately stretch your Nikes you can follow the below guide:
• Wear the thickest socks you own and put your new Nikes on before applying gentle heat from a hairdryer
• Move for your feet backwards and forwards at least 30 times during the heating process
• Turn the hairdryer off, and allow your feet to cool within the shoes

Can you put Nike trainers in the washing machine?
Nike do not suggest any professional cleaning methods for their trainers. If you’re looking to clean your laces, just pop them into a pillowcase, tie a knot to seal the case and wash in a gentle cycle. We wouldn’t recommend adding your laces to a coloured wash however.
If you want to keep your Nikes in pristine condition, we’d suggest using a protective spray like Liquiproof, which can protect your trainers no matter what the weather throws at them.
