FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Reebok Classic AZ trainers are inspired by running shoes but are designed for casual wear. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for serious athletic running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by Reebok, typically based on UK, EU, or US sizing. The description specifies UK sizing. Ensure a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and nylon, and affect the shoe's structure.

What does 'Unisex' mean for sizing?

Unisex sizing means the shoe is designed to fit both men and women. Typically, women may need to size down slightly compared to their usual women's size. Refer to the specific size chart for conversions.

How durable is the nylon and suede combination?

The combination offers good durability for casual use. The nylon provides breathability and lightness, while the suede overlays add structure and resistance to wear in key areas. Proper care will extend their lifespan.

What is the primary inspiration for this model?

This model is inspired by Reebok's 1970s running archives, specifically incorporating elements like the Aztec heel strike wrap detail and an 80s-inspired gum rubber outsole.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Suede appearing matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, try a suede eraser.

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. If new, break them in by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks for initial wear.

Gum sole becoming discolored

Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Reebok Classic AZ trainers are designed for casual wear and are compatible with most everyday casual outfits. They are suitable for adults of all genders.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from both the nylon and suede areas. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap on a clean, soft cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to maintain the nap of the suede. For stubborn stains on suede, a suede eraser can be used cautiously.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
