FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Reebok Prime Event Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activity. While they offer cushioning, they are not specialized for long-distance running like marathon training and may lack the advanced support and cushioning required for such events.
How do I clean the nylon parts of the trainers?
For the nylon sections, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the area and then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow them to air dry.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in heavy rain, especially due to the suede overlays which can be damaged by excessive moisture. If they do get wet, dry them thoroughly with a cloth and allow them to air dry completely.
What material are the overlays made of?
The overlays on the Reebok Prime Event Trainers are made of suede.
What does 'archive runner' mean?
An 'archive runner' refers to a shoe design that is inspired by or recreated from a brand's historical athletic shoe catalog, often featuring retro styling and classic materials.
Are these trainers true to size?
Based on general product feedback, these trainers tend to run true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit can vary. It is recommended to check the size chart and consider trying them on if possible.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The die-cut EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to the overall comfort of the trainers for everyday wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If the issue persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or visiting a cobbler for professional stretching.
Suede looks dirty or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution, following product instructions carefully.
Soles feel less cushioned over time
While the EVA midsole is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider adding aftermarket insoles for extra support and comfort.
