FAQs

Are these trainers fully waterproof?

No, the Regatta Blaze trainers feature Hydropel water-resistant technology, which means they are designed to repel light rain and splashes, keeping your feet dry in varying conditions. They are not intended for full submersion or heavy downpours.

How do I clean my Blaze trainers?

We recommend gently wiping the breathable nylon ripstop upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, machine washing, or tumble drying, as these can damage the materials and water-resistant finish. Air dry them completely away from direct heat.

What is the XLT midsole?

The XLT midsole is a lightweight cushioning technology used in Regatta footwear. It provides excellent shock absorption, particularly with its heel strike cushioning, to reduce impact on your joints during active pursuits and enhance overall comfort.

How does the speed lace fastening system work?

The speed lace system allows for quick and easy adjustments. To tighten, simply pull the laces upwards and push the toggle down to secure them. To loosen, press the toggle and pull the laces away from the shoe. This ensures a secure and customizable fit without the need for traditional tying.

Are these trainers suitable for serious hiking or technical trail running?

The Regatta Blaze trainers are designed for general active pursuits, including gym, running, and everyday outdoor adventures on various terrains due to their slip-resistant outsole. While they offer good traction and comfort, for serious, technical hiking or highly uneven trail running, specialized footwear with more aggressive tread and ankle support might be more appropriate.

What materials are these trainers primarily made from?

The upper is constructed from breathable nylon ripstop with a Hydropel water-resistant finish. The insock is made from moulded open foam, and the outsole is lightweight rubber.

Do I need to break them in?

Thanks to the moulded open foam insock and flexible design, these trainers offer immediate comfort for most users. However, like any new footwear, we recommend wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow them to fully conform to your feet before extended use, especially for high-intensity activities.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp after light rain, despite water resistance.

While Hydropel offers water resistance, it is not fully waterproof. Ensure your socks are breathable. If the trainers are older, the water resistance might diminish over time and can often be refreshed with a suitable fabric protector spray designed for outdoor footwear.

The speed laces seem to loosen during activity.

The speed lace system requires a firm pull to secure. Ensure the toggle is pushed down firmly after tightening to lock the laces in place. You may also need to adjust the overall tension more securely before your activity begins to prevent loosening.

Reduced cushioning or comfort over time.

Over extensive use, insoles and midsoles can compress, reducing their shock absorption properties. Consider replacing the moulded open foam insocks with new ones or adding additional athletic insoles for renewed comfort and support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Upon receiving your Regatta Blaze Trainers, the primary setup involves adjusting the speed lace fastening system. Simply pull the laces upwards to tighten them until you achieve a snug, comfortable fit, then push the toggle down firmly to lock them in place. To loosen, press the toggle and pull the laces away from the shoe. Ensure a secure fit before any activity to maximize comfort and prevent discomfort or injury.

Compatibility

These trainers are crafted for adult women and are highly versatile for a range of active pursuits. They are suitable for:

  • Gym workouts: Providing cushioning and stability for various exercises.
  • Running: Offering impact reduction and traction for short to moderate distances.
  • Outdoor adventures: Ideal for walking, light hiking, and exploring on varied terrains.
  • Everyday activities: Comfortable and supportive for general wear and errands.

While they offer Hydropel water-resistant technology, they are not designed for extreme mountaineering, highly technical trail running, or full submersion in water.

Care Instructions

Proper care will prolong the life and performance of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the nylon ripstop upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For dirt embedded in the outsole, use a soft brush.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials and adhesives.
  3. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can compromise the structure, cushioning, and water-resistant finish of the trainers.
  4. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Regularly check the outsole for any embedded debris that could affect traction.
