Full details

These trainers are ideal for those who prioritize energy return and all-day comfort during daily runs or casual use, though users should note that the sock-like Flyknit fit may require a break-in period for those accustomed to more rigid structured shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the Flyknit fabric. Always hand clean with mild soap.

Is this model suitable for marathon running?

The Epic React is excellent for daily training and runs of varying distances, including marathons, due to the energy-returning properties of the foam.

Does the sizing run true to size?

Yes, but due to the sock-like fit, some runners prefer a half-size larger if they have wider feet or prefer extra room in the toe box.

How long will the React foam last?

The durability of the foam depends on running surface and mileage, but it is engineered to maintain its cushioning properties longer than standard EVA foams.

Can I use these for cross-training or lifting?

While versatile, these are primary running shoes. For heavy lifting, a shoe with a flatter, more rigid sole would provide better stability.

Troubleshooting

Visible debris stuck in the React foam sole grooves.

Carefully remove debris with a blunt tool or a stiff-bristled brush to prevent the foam from being punctured.

Feeling of tightness across the top of the foot.

Loosen the lacing system significantly and allow the Flyknit material to stretch naturally over the first few wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Nike Epic React Flyknit trainers, keep the following in mind:

  1. Fit: The Flyknit upper is designed to fit like a sock. Ensure your size (UK 6.5 for this variant) feels snug but not constricting across the arch.
  2. Cleaning: Avoid machine washing. Spot clean the Flyknit material using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Let them air dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping them in damp gym bags for extended periods to prevent odor buildup.
  4. Compatibility: Best paired with moisture-wicking athletic socks to maximize the breathability of the Flyknit upper.
