Product Information
Full details
The Nike Epic React Flyknit is engineered for adult male runners seeking a balance of extreme responsiveness and lightweight comfort for daily training. Featuring advanced proprietary foam technology and a precision-engineered Flyknit upper, it provides a consistent, cushioned ride; however, runners with extremely wide feet may find the snug, sock-like fit of the Flyknit upper somewhat restrictive compared to traditional running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
The Flyknit material is porous and breathable, meaning it does not offer water resistance. They are best suited for dry or light-moisture conditions.
How do I determine if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise.
Can I use these for heavy weightlifting?
While comfortable for light gym work, the soft foam is designed for running. For heavy lifting, a flatter, firmer sole is generally recommended for stability.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and gait patterns.
Is the foam machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the React foam. Always hand clean only.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of pressure on the top of the foot
The Flyknit upper can feel tight initially. Try loosening the laces significantly before entry or bypassing the top eyelet to reduce tension.
Visible dirt accumulation on the knit
Do not submerge. Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and gently dab the fabric. Rinse with a separate damp cloth and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Epic React Flyknit shoes, prioritize proper fit during selection to prevent premature wear of the Flyknit fibers. Since the shoe features a sock-like construction, ensure the heel tab is pulled fully up during entry to avoid straining the collar. For cleaning, avoid the washing machine; instead, use a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water to gently spot-clean the upper. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the foam cushioning properties.
