FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for all types of weather?
These trainers feature a Hydropel water-resistant finish, making them suitable for changeable weather and light rain. They are not fully waterproof, so for heavy downpours or submerged conditions, dedicated waterproof footwear would be more appropriate.
Can I use these trainers for serious hiking?
The Regatta Blaze Trainers are well-suited for light hiking and trekking on varied trails due to their comfortable cushioning and slip-resistant outsole. However, for serious, multi-day, or rugged technical hikes, specialized hiking boots offering more ankle support and robust waterproofing would be recommended.
How do the speed laces work?
The speed lace system allows for quick adjustments. You pull the toggle up to loosen, slide your foot in, then pull the toggle down to tighten the laces to your desired snugness. Press the toggle down firmly to lock the laces in place.
How should I clean my Regatta Blaze Trainers?
Clean the trainers by wiping them with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, as this can damage the material and the water-resistant coating. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Do they provide good arch support?
The TECFOAM moulded openfoam insock provides superior underfoot comfort and adapts to your foot's shape, offering a good level of support and flexibility for general use. For specific arch support needs, individual preferences may vary.
What kind of surfaces are these trainers good for?
The lightweight rubber outsole is designed to be slip-resistant and provides durable traction on a variety of surfaces, including pavement, gym floors, gravel paths, and moderate natural trails.
Troubleshooting
My feet are getting wet despite the water-resistant feature.
The Hydropel finish offers water-resistance, not full waterproofing. This means it protects against splashes and light rain, but not prolonged exposure to heavy rain, deep puddles, or submersion. If you're in very wet conditions, consider additional waterproof gaiters or footwear. You may also need to re-treat the water-resistant finish if it has worn off over time.
The speed laces keep coming loose during activity.
Ensure the speed lace toggle is firmly pressed down to lock the laces in place after tightening. Try pulling the laces taut before pressing the toggle. If the issue persists, inspect the toggle mechanism for any debris or damage that might prevent it from gripping properly.
I'm experiencing discomfort or reduced cushioning after extended use.
While the TECFOAM insock and XLT midsole are designed for comfort, cushioning materials can compress over time. Ensure you've selected the correct size. If discomfort continues, consider replacing the insock with a specialized athletic insole to refresh the cushioning and support, or assess if the trainers need replacing due to wear and tear.
The grip on the outsole feels less effective than before.
Dirt, mud, or small stones can accumulate in the outsole's tread, reducing grip. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water. If the tread itself is visibly worn smooth, it indicates that the outsole is reaching the end of its effective lifespan for traction, and replacement might be necessary for safety.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Regatta Blaze Trainers:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the Hydropel water-resistant finish.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Maintenance of Water Resistance: Over time, the Hydropel finish may require re-treatment to maintain its effectiveness. Use a suitable water-repellent spray designed for synthetic footwear, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
