Waffle Origin
In 1971, Nike cofounder Bill Bowerman was watching his wife, Barbra, make breakfast on a waffle iron and inspiration struck. He swapped batter for rubber and the Waffle outsole was born. It not only delivers traction, durability and heritage Nike style—it proves that greatness is in the everyday. And that old, rusty waffle iron? Well, it now sits on a pedestal at Nike World Headquarters.

Not tan
Leah6cc58ea1ca214af889b09ff937980074 - Jul 29, 2025
This is maybe only the second pair of shoes I’ve ever owned with strings. As a 30 year nurse this type of shoe is not viable in a hospital where every sort of body fluid gets thrown on you. We need something more like knee-high rubber galoshes, not something fabric but anyway;) I have severe scoliosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Everyone is convinced that I should try a pair of tennis shoes to help the various pains. You know because everyone who’s not a nurse thinks they know more about footwear that can withstand 14 hour shifts;) but here I am doing what they say🤣 I chose this pair because leopard is fun and I thought the tan color would be not too garish on my feet. Fit is great. Comfort is fine. They are definitely a pretty, well made shoe. Quality is great. I have not worn them a lot. I put them on and walked around the house a little bit, but they seemed comfortable. For someone not used to the confinement of tying my feet into footwear they were lightweight enough maybe I won’t be bothered by it. I find almost everything stifling. Hello hot flash they’re going to get yanked off in a hurry (hopefully). My biggest point of dissatisfaction is I thought I was getting a tan pair of shoes. These are definitely not tan. The color is listed as sesame. The pictures look tan. These are full out off-white. I wouldn’t even call them beige. Would I recommend this shoe? Well that’s a complicated question. Yes, I would recommend it to someone who is looking for a cute white pair of tennis shoes and likes bending down, being confined, and lots of strings. No I would not recommend it to someone who wants a tan pair of shoes. I did contact customer service throughout this situation and he was great.
Waffle Noise
MichelleK47098106 - Jul 24, 2025
I have 2 pairs of waffles, and I love the look, the fit, and the comfort. Unfortunately, they have both now make a LOUD popping noise when walking in them. Nothing I've tried makes it stop, and it's too obvious for me to wear them in public. I would buy 10 more pairs if it wasn't for this!
