FAQs
Are these trainers completely waterproof?
No, the Regatta Blaze Trainers feature Hydropel water-resistant technology, meaning they are designed to keep your feet dry in changeable weather conditions and light rain. They are not fully waterproof for heavy downpours or submersion.
Can I use these for serious hiking?
These trainers are suitable for light to moderate hiking and trail walking. For very rugged, technical, or extended multi-day hikes, specialized hiking boots might offer more robust ankle support and protection.
How do I clean the speed lace system?
The speed lace system can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the entire lacing mechanism in water. Ensure it's dry before use.
Are the insocks removable?
The TECFOAM moulded open foam insocks are designed for superior comfort and support. While they can typically be removed for airing or replacement, always exercise caution to avoid damage. Info needed: Confirm if insocks are easily removable.
What kind of traction does the outsole provide?
The lightweight rubber outsole is designed to be hardwearing and slip-resistant, offering durable traction and stability on various surfaces such as pavements, park trails, and general outdoor paths.
Are these trainers breathable?
Yes, the Regatta Blaze Trainers feature a breathable nylon ripstop upper, which allows air to circulate, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during activity.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel uncomfortable after long walks/runs
Ensure the speed laces are adjusted correctly for optimal support without being too tight. Allow for a short break-in period if new. Consider if the size is correct.
Trainers feel wet inside after walking in light rain
While Hydropel offers water resistance, it's not fully waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles, water can eventually seep in. Ensure no large holes or damage to the upper. You can apply an additional water-repellent spray for enhanced protection.
Laces come loose frequently
Double-check that the speed lace toggle is firmly secured after tightening. If the toggle appears faulty, contact customer support. Ensure laces are not excessively worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Regatta Blaze Trainers is straightforward:
- Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Lacing: Utilize the speed lace fastening system. Pull the laces to tighten for a secure fit, and use the toggle or stopper to lock them in place. To loosen, release the toggle and pull the tongue forward.
- Break-in: While designed for comfort, a short break-in period may be beneficial to allow the TECFOAM insock to fully conform to your foot shape.

- Activities: Suitable for light hiking, trail running, gym workouts, urban walking, and general outdoor sports.
- Terrain: Performs well on varied surfaces including pavements, park trails, and light off-road paths.
- Apparel: Pairs easily with athletic wear, casual trousers, and shorts.
Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: For the nylon ripstop upper, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the rubber outsole, use a brush to remove mud and debris.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Odor Prevention: Remove the insocks periodically and allow both the insocks and trainers to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers if needed.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
