FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Flyknit upper is flexible, but it does have a snug performance fit. Those with wider feet may find it helpful to try a half-size up.
Can I use these for long-distance marathons?
The cushioning is designed for responsiveness, making them suitable for various distances, though individual preference regarding support levels may vary.
How do I clean the blue accents without fading?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Do not soak the shoes or use harsh chemical cleaners.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
No, the breathable Flyknit material is designed for airflow and will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain.
What is the primary benefit of React foam?
React foam is engineered to be both soft and highly responsive, providing a balance between impact protection and energy return.
Should I wear thick socks with these?
Thin to medium-thickness performance socks are recommended to maintain the intended feel and breathability of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight around the midfoot
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to reduce pressure on the top of your foot.
Accumulated debris in the knit
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge dirt; avoid pulling on the Flyknit loops.
Slippage in the heel
Ensure the heel cup is properly seated and experiment with the 'runner's loop' lacing technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, wear the socks you intend to use while running when first trying on your Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 trainers. Because the Flyknit upper offers a sock-like fit, you may need to adjust your lacing tension to achieve the perfect balance of security and comfort. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, spot-clean the upper with a soft brush and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent foam degradation or warping of the Flyknit fibers.
