FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Reebok Flex Trainer is best suited for light jogging or short distances. For serious or long-distance running, specialized running shoes with more advanced cushioning and support are recommended.

How do I clean the trainers if they get very dirty?

For heavily soiled trainers, you can use a mixture of mild soap and cool water with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What is the best way to ensure a proper fit?

Try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, these trainers are designed with a unisex fit, making them suitable for adult men and women.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is typically made from breathable mesh materials to promote ventilation and comfort.

How durable is the outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and traction during everyday use and light training activities. For extremely demanding or frequent high-impact use, wear and tear may be accelerated.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

They provide moderate cushioning and support suitable for general wear. Individuals requiring significant or specialized arch support may need to consider insoles.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit upon first wear

Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and adapt to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if the fit feels too snug.

Slipping heel

Ensure laces are tied securely, using the top eyelets for a better heel lock. Check if the size is appropriate; a heel slip can indicate the shoe is too large.

Discomfort during prolonged activity

Verify that the lacing provides adequate support without being too tight. For very long durations or high impact, consider if the shoe meets the specific demands of the activity.

Traction feels reduced on smooth surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The rubber compound may naturally offer less grip on extremely polished or wet surfaces compared to specialized sports shoes.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. 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.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or damp conditions.
  4. Laces: Keep laces clean and properly tied to ensure a secure fit and prevent undue stress on the shoe's eyelets.
