FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Reebok Answer 4 generally fits true to size for adult male feet, following standard UK sizing conventions.
Can these be used for outdoor basketball?
While they feature a durable herringbone outsole, their design is primarily optimized for indoor hardwood court performance.
How do I best clean the leather upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the finish from the leather.
Is the DMX cushioning removable?
The DMX cushioning is integrated into the midsole of the shoe and is not designed to be removed or replaced.
Are these suitable for everyday casual wear?
Yes, many fans of the series wear them as a lifestyle shoe due to their iconic 2000s design and durability.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel upon first wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period; wear them for shorter sessions initially to allow the material to flex.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to clear the herringbone pattern, which restores grip on indoor courts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your Reebok Answer 4 trainers, keep the leather clean by wiping them down with a damp, soft cloth after use. Avoid machine washing or drying, as excessive heat can warp the leather and compromise the adhesive bonds of the sole. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Given that these are standard basketball trainers, they are best suited for use with athletic socks to ensure an optimal fit and prevent friction.
