FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper offers more protection than mesh, they are not classified as waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
These are designed for training and stability. While they feature responsive foam, they are best suited for gym work and interval training rather than marathon-distance running.
How do I determine the right size?
The Nike React SFB Carbon generally follows standard sizing. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to size up slightly to accommodate the structured carbon plate.
What is the primary function of the carbon plate?
The carbon plate acts as a stabilizer and provides a 'snap' effect during movement, which helps in efficient energy transfer and support.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required for specific arch support needs.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight in the toe box.
Loosen the laces significantly starting from the bottom eyelets to relieve pressure, or use thinner athletic socks during the break-in phase.
Visible creasing on the leather upper.
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike React SFB Carbon trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially to allow the carbon plate and leather upper to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents that can degrade the leather finish.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can warp the React foam and damage the leather glue bonds.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration.
