Product Information

Full details

The Nike Epic React Flyknit trainers are designed for active adults who prioritize a blend of long-distance comfort and high-energy return during their daily training sessions. By leveraging Nike’s proprietary foam technology, these shoes deliver a soft, responsive ride that minimizes fatigue during repetitive motion; however, users should note that the sock-like Flyknit upper offers a snug, form-fitting feel that may require a breaking-in period for those accustomed to traditional, stiffer running shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?

The Flyknit upper provides a flexible fit that accommodates various foot shapes, though it offers neutral support. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding a custom orthotic insole.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the React foam. Hand cleaning is the safest method.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Most users find that the Epic React Flyknit runs true to size. However, the snug nature of the Flyknit means those who prefer extra toe room might prefer a half-size larger.

Is the React foam durable?

React foam is engineered for high durability and resistance to compression, allowing it to maintain its responsiveness over many miles compared to traditional EVA foams.

Are these shoes good for long-distance running?

Yes, they are designed to provide consistent cushioning and energy return, which helps reduce impact-related fatigue during long-distance efforts.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of pressure on the top of the foot

Adjust the lacing pattern to a looser tension or use the 'window' lacing method to relieve pressure on the bridge.

Flyknit fabric appears stretched

The fabric is designed to move with the foot, but if it becomes overly loose, avoid washing in high temperatures which may degrade the elasticity.

Outsole loses traction on slick surfaces

The outsole is optimized for road and gym surfaces; avoid wet, oily, or polished surfaces to prevent slipping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior energy return during runs
  • Extremely lightweight construction
  • Highly breathable Flyknit material
  • Modern, versatile aesthetic
  • Responsive cushioning for joint comfort

Cons

  • Form-fitting design may feel too snug for some
  • Light-colored materials can show dirt quickly
  • Limited stability features for those requiring heavy motion control

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, verify that the size 7 UK fit aligns with your foot's natural arch, as the Flyknit upper is highly flexible but does not have traditional structural overlays.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and a soft brush; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that can degrade the foam.
  2. Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the foam to warp.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing the toe box to maintain the shoe's shape.
  4. Rotation: Allow the shoes to air out for 24 hours between heavy usage days to let the cushioning foam recover its form.
