FAQs

Are these Regatta Blaze Trainers completely waterproof?

No, they feature Hydropel water-resistant technology, meaning they are designed to repel water and keep your feet dry in varying conditions like light rain or dewy grass. They are not intended for full submersion or extremely heavy downpours.

How does the speed lace system work?

The speed lace system allows for quick and secure adjustments. To tighten, simply pull the laces, and a locking mechanism will hold them in place. To loosen, press the button or lever on the lock and pull the laces apart to release the tension.

Can I use these trainers for serious hiking or mountaineering?

These trainers are suitable for outdoor adventures, trekking, and light to moderate hikes, offering good support and traction. However, for very rigorous, multi-day expeditions on extreme or technical terrain, specialized hiking boots with greater ankle support and robust protection might be more appropriate.

What is the best way to clean my Regatta Blaze Trainers?

First, brush off any loose dirt. Then, wipe the nylon ripstop upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.

What is `TECFOAM` insock and what are its benefits?

The `TECFOAM` moulded open foam insock is an advanced insole designed to conform precisely to the unique shape of your foot. This provides superior underfoot comfort, enhanced support, and increased flexibility throughout your activities, adapting to your movements.

Is the outsole non-slip on all surfaces?

The lightweight rubber outsole is designed to be hardwearing and slip-resistant, offering durable traction and stability on various surfaces. However, no sole is entirely slip-proof, so exercise caution on extremely slippery conditions such as ice, slick rocks, or wet, smooth surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too tight or too loose, affecting comfort or security.

Adjust the speed lace fastening system by releasing the locking mechanism, repositioning the laces to your desired tension, and then re-securing the lock. Experiment until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit.

Feet feel damp or wet despite the 'water-resistant' claim.

The Hydropel water-resistant technology is designed to repel water in varying conditions like light rain or dew, not for complete submersion or torrential downpours. Ensure you are not in conditions beyond its intended capability. For sustained protection, regularly clean the upper and consider applying a footwear water-repellent spray.

Reduced comfort or support noticeable after extended use.

The TECFOAM moulded insock adapts to your foot over time, but like all cushioning, it can compress with extensive use. Ensure the trainers are clean and dried properly after each use. If significant comfort loss persists, consider replacing the insoles with new supportive ones.

Experiencing minor slipping on certain wet or smooth surfaces.

While the rubber outsole is slip-resistant, no shoe is entirely slip-proof, especially on extremely slick, icy, or algae-covered surfaces. Exercise extra caution in such conditions. Regularly check the outsole for significant wear, as worn treads can reduce traction effectiveness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & First Use

  1. Lacing: Utilize the speed lace fastening system by pulling the laces evenly to tighten. Press the locking mechanism down to secure the fit. Adjust as needed for optimal comfort and security.
  2. Break-in Period: While designed for comfort from the start due to the TECFOAM insock, allow a short break-in period of a few hours of wear for the trainers to fully conform to your foot's unique shape.

Compatibility

These Regatta Blaze Trainers are designed for adult males (UK size 9, Black color) and are suitable for a wide range of outdoor, active, and casual activities.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy or wet conditions, gently brush off any loose dirt or debris. Wipe the nylon ripstop upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials and water-resistant finish.
  • Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, fireplaces, or direct prolonged sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the materials, adhesives, and compromise the integrity of the shoe.
  • Water Resistance: While featuring Hydropel water-resistant technology, periodic treatment with a suitable footwear protector spray can help maintain and enhance the water repellency of the upper over time, especially after cleaning.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve their materials and shape.
