Product Information

Full details

The Reebok Royal Glide Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of old-school style and modern comfort for both court and street wear. Their key benefit lies in providing a stable, comfortable experience with a confident aesthetic. A potential caveat is their synthetic upper, which may offer less breathability than natural materials. These trainers feature a low-cut design for mobility, a padded ankle collar for support, a die-cut EVA midsole for cushioning, and a TPU heel clip for enhanced stability, making them a versatile choice for daily wear and light athletic activities.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The Reebok Royal Glide Trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They provide good cushioning for everyday comfort but are not engineered for the high-impact demands of marathon running. For marathon training, specialized running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine the correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Reebok or the retailer. Typically, UK shoe sizes are listed directly. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. For this model, the UK 8 is specified.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper of these trainers is made from synthetic material, designed for durability and ease of maintenance.

Do these trainers offer arch support?

The trainers feature a die-cut EVA midsole which provides general cushioning and underfoot comfort. While they offer support for casual wear, they do not provide specialized orthopedic arch support.

How does the TPU heel clip benefit the wearer?

The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel clip is designed to provide enhanced rearfoot support and stability. This helps to improve balance and confidence during movement.

Are there other color options available for the Royal Glide series?

Yes, the Reebok Royal Glide series is available in various colorways, including white and white/green combinations, in addition to the black model.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them with less tension. If the issue persists, consider using thinner socks or trying a half-size larger if available.

Discomfort during walking

Ensure laces are properly adjusted for a secure but not constrictive fit. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter walks before longer periods of use.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting an anti-squeak pad or talcum powder under the insole. Ensure the insole is seated correctly.

Minor scuffs on black upper

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. A black shoe polish or marker can be used for deeper scuffs if needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a classic, stylish aesthetic suitable for multiple occasions.
  • Provides good underfoot cushioning thanks to the EVA midsole.
  • Enhances stability with a dedicated TPU heel clip.
  • Designed for comfort with a padded ankle collar.
  • Durable construction for everyday use.

Cons

  • Synthetic upper may offer limited breathability compared to natural materials.
  • Primarily designed for casual wear and light activity; may not be suitable for intense athletic training.

  • The black color may show scuffs more readily than lighter colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Upon receiving your Reebok Royal Glide Trainers, simply try them on to ensure a proper fit. Lace them up using the provided eyelets and lacing system for a secure feel.

Compatibility: The Royal Glide trainers are designed as casual footwear compatible with a wide range of apparel. They are suitable for adult use and can be worn for various non-professional athletic activities.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap diluted in water and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the EVA midsole and synthetic sole. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  3. Lining: If the interior becomes soiled, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the lining dries completely before wearing.
  4. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
