FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the React Element 87 fits true to size, but those who prefer a roomier fit might consider sizing up by a half size.
Can I wear these for long-distance running?
While they utilize React foam, these are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes.
How do I style the translucent upper?
The translucent material allows you to coordinate your socks with your outfit for a custom layered look.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the upper material is not waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or puddles to avoid moisture inside the shoe.
Does the translucent material yellow over time?
Like many synthetic materials, excessive exposure to direct sunlight and heat can lead to discoloration; store in a dark, cool place to preserve the clarity.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt inside the shoe through the translucent upper
Use a blast of compressed air to remove small debris or a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the interior lining.
React foam midsole showing light surface scuffs
Use a specialized foam cleaner or a magic eraser dampened slightly to buff out marks on the midsole unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the delicate translucent upper, it is recommended to keep these trainers away from abrasive surfaces or extreme environments. When cleaning, avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which may discolor or damage the structural integrity of the material. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush and mild, diluted soap to spot clean the midsole and upper gently. Ensure you store these in a cool, dry place to prevent the translucent components from yellowing over time due to UV exposure or heat. Always check the sizing fit carefully, as the React Element series is designed with a specific anatomical contour that benefits from the correct UK size.
