Product Information
Full details
The Nike Reax 8 TR Mesh trainers are designed for adult males looking for a high-performance training shoe that balances stability with agility. The key benefit is the signature responsive cushioning provided by the Nike Reax heel unit, though users should note that the firm, stability-focused build may require a short break-in period for those transitioning from plush, cloud-like running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While these are excellent for cross-training and short, gym-based cardio, they are designed primarily for stability and responsiveness rather than the shock absorption needed for long-distance running.
How do I ensure I order the right size?
The Nike Reax 8 TR generally fits true to size. We recommend measuring your foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and comparing it to the standard UK sizing chart.
Can I wear these for outdoor sports?
The traction pods are optimized for indoor surfaces. While they can handle casual outdoor wear, they may wear down faster on abrasive surfaces like asphalt.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the adhesive bonds. Stick to spot-cleaning with mild soap and water.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper features high-quality mesh and nylon components designed to balance structural containment with necessary breathability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during lifting
Ensure the dynamic lacing system is pulled snug across the midfoot before beginning your set to secure the foot inside the chassis.
Squeaking on gym floors
Check the rubber pods on the outsole for trapped debris or grit; wiping the soles with a damp cloth usually resolves the issue.
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or ensure you are utilizing the top eyelet to create a lockdown fit that prevents the laces from loosening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Reax 8 TR trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the initial setup, tighten the laces to find a comfortable midfoot fit that provides support without cutting off circulation. For cleaning, avoid using harsh chemicals; instead, use a soft cloth with mild soap and warm water to spot-clean the mesh upper. Always allow your shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, as high heat can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials. If the shoes become wet inside, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape while drying.
