FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

The Defiance 88 Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and urban environments. While they offer stability, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

It is recommended to consult the specific sizing chart provided for Reebok trainers, comparing your foot measurement to the UK size. As these are unisex, consider the fit relative to your typical footwear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The leather material offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.

What does 'tonal Chalk and Vintage Chalk' mean for the color?

This describes a subtle, off-white color palette where 'Chalk' and 'Vintage Chalk' are shades of off-white, creating a slightly worn-in or aged appearance.

How do the Gold Metallic accents differ from the main shoe color?

The Gold Metallic accents are distinct design elements, typically appearing on the branding logos or heel tab, providing a contrast and premium detail against the main Chalk/Vintage Chalk upper.

Is the leather used on the trainers genuine?

Yes, the product description indicates a leather upper, suggesting the use of genuine leather for its durability and aesthetic qualities.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

New leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also help.

Discoloration on metallic accents

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Gently wipe the metallic areas with a dry, soft cloth. If significant damage occurs, consult specialist shoe repair services.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. For added grip on very smooth surfaces, consider adding a protective sole layer from a cobbler.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed as unisex adult footwear, they are compatible with a wide range of casual clothing styles. The sizing is provided in UK adult foot sizes.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the leather trainers:

  1. Wipe Clean: Regularly wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
  2. Leather Conditioner: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the leather and the metallic accents.
  4. Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  5. Suede/Nubuck Care: If any parts of the trainers have suede or nubuck finishes, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner for those areas.
