FAQs
Are these trainers fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Blaze Trainers feature `Hydropel` water-resistant technology, meaning they are designed to repel light rain and splashes, keeping your feet dry in changeable weather. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Can I use these trainers for running?
Yes, these trainers are suitable for running. The `XLT` technical midsole with heel strike cushioning is specifically designed to reduce impact and fatigue, making them comfortable for runs on various terrains, including trails and roads, as well as gym use.
How do I clean my Regatta Blaze Trainers?
To clean your trainers, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
What is `Hydropel` technology?
`Hydropel` is a water-resistant technology integrated into the trainer's upper material, which helps repel water from the surface, keeping your feet drier and more comfortable in damp conditions.
What does the `TECFOAM` insock do?
The `TECFOAM` moulded open foam insock provides superior underfoot comfort, adapting to the unique shape of your foot to offer enhanced support and flexibility throughout your activities.
Is the speed lace system durable?
The speed lace system is designed for durability and convenience, allowing for quick and secure adjustments. Like any lacing system, proper care and avoiding snagging will contribute to its longevity.
Are these trainers breathable?
Yes, the Regatta Blaze Trainers feature a breathable nylon ripstop upper, which helps to ventilate your feet and maintain comfort during active use.
Troubleshooting
My feet are getting wet despite the 'water-resistant' claim.
Remember that 'water-resistant' is not 'waterproof'. These trainers are designed to shed light rain and splashes. For heavy downpours or submerging your feet, water may penetrate. Ensure the `Hydropel` treatment is maintained; a re-application of a suitable water-repellent spray might be necessary after extended use.
The speed lace system feels loose or doesn't secure properly.
Ensure you are pulling the laces evenly through all eyelets to distribute tension across your foot. After tightening, make sure the lace locking mechanism (if present) is fully engaged. If issues persist, check for any debris in the lace channels or damage to the lace itself.
I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing during use.
First, ensure you have the correct size. These trainers are UK 12. Break-in time can vary, so wear them for shorter periods initially. Check your socks; thicker or moisture-wicking socks can improve comfort. Verify that the laces are not overtightened or unevenly tightened. The `TECFOAM` insock should adapt to your foot over time.

- Offers a quick, secure, and personalized fit with the speed lace fastening system.
- Provides superior underfoot comfort and support through the TECFOAM insock.
- Reduces impact and fatigue effectively with XLT technical midsole and heel strike cushioning.
- Ensures durable traction and stability on various surfaces thanks to the lightweight rubber outsole.
- Highly versatile, suitable for hiking, running, gym use, and daily activities.
Cons
- Water-resistant, not fully waterproof, so may not be ideal for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.
- The nylon upper, while breathable, might not offer the same level of ruggedness as leather for extreme wilderness conditions.
- Speed lace system, while convenient, may not be preferred by all users or as easily field-repairable as traditional laces.
- Specifically designed for active use, their style might not suit more casual or urban fashion preferences.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Regatta Blaze Trainers is straightforward. Simply slide your foot in, and use the speed lace fastening system to quickly tighten and secure the fit. Pull the laces evenly to achieve your desired snugness, then tuck any excess lace into the designated keeper to prevent snagging.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adult males and are available in UK size 12. They are compatible with a wide range of athletic socks and are suitable for various outdoor and indoor active pursuits. Their general-purpose design makes them a versatile addition to any active wardrobe.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: After use, especially if dirty, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, applied with a soft brush, then wiped clean. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Water Resistance: The `Hydropel` treatment provides water resistance. Over time, and with wear, this can diminish. Consider using a fabric-safe water-repellent spray periodically to rejuvenate the water-resistant properties, especially if you notice water starting to soak into the upper material.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
