FAQs
Is the Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 waterproof?
No, the Flyknit upper is designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, not water resistance.
Can these be used for heavy weightlifting?
While stable, they are designed as running trainers. For heavy lifting, a flatter, firmer sole is usually recommended.
Does the sizing run true?
Yes, but due to the sock-like fit, some users prefer a half-size up if they prefer extra room in the toe box.
How long will the React foam last?
React foam is highly durable and generally maintains its responsiveness for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the sockliner inside the shoe is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight around the midfoot.
Loosen the lacing system significantly and adjust the tongue position to allow for more natural expansion.
Foam appears dusty or stained.
Gently wipe the midsole with a damp cloth; for stubborn dirt, use a small amount of non-abrasive soap and rinse carefully.
Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear thin, performance-oriented socks to complement the snug fit of the Flyknit upper. Since this shoe features a specialized foam midsole, avoid exposing it to extreme heat, which can degrade the cushioning properties. When cleaning, avoid machine washing or heavy soaking; instead, use a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water to spot-clean the upper. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and the flexibility of the knit fabric. If you use custom orthotics, the factory-installed sockliner can be removed, though the shoe is engineered for optimal performance with its original configuration.
