FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers feature a Hydropel water-resistant finish, which provides protection against light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and are not designed for heavy downpours or submerging in water.
Can I machine wash my Regatta Blaze Trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. You should only rinse or wipe clean the trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and the water-resistant finish.
What activities are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for everyday activities, light running, gym workouts, and general casual wear. Their comfort and water-resistant features make them versatile for urban environments and light outdoor use.
How should I dry my trainers after cleaning or if they get wet?
Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not place them near a heat source like a radiator, heater, or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Removing the insock can help speed up the drying process.
What materials are used in the Regatta Blaze Trainers?
The trainers feature a breathable nylon ripstop upper, a moulded open foam insock, a midsole with heel strike cushioning, and a lightweight rubber outsole. The overall composition is 54% Polyurethane and 46% Polyester.
Do these trainers provide good arch support?
The moulded open foam insock provides a comfortable footbed, contributing to overall foot support. While they offer good general cushioning, individuals requiring specific or high levels of arch support may consider adding custom insoles.
Troubleshooting
My trainers feel damp inside even after light rain.
While the trainers feature a Hydropel water-resistant finish, this is not fully waterproof. For heavier rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, your feet may still get damp. Ensure you allow them to air dry completely at room temperature after each use. You can remove the insocks to help with ventilation.
The grip on the sole seems to be less effective than before.
Check the outsole for accumulated dirt, mud, or small stones that might be reducing traction. Clean the sole thoroughly using a damp cloth or brush. If the tread appears significantly worn, it might indicate the outsole is nearing the end of its effective lifespan, especially with heavy use.
My trainers have developed an odor.
Odor can result from moisture and bacteria. Always allow your trainers to air dry completely after each wear, especially if your feet sweat. You can remove the insocks and air them separately. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer spray to freshen them up. Avoid storing them in damp or confined spaces.

They are compatible with typical athletic socks and suitable for general adult male foot sizes, with this specific model being UK 8. To ensure the longevity and performance of your trainers, proper care is essential:
Cleaning Instructions:
- Rinse/Wipe Clean Only: Do *not* machine wash or submerge the trainers in water. Use a damp cloth or sponge to gently wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and outsole.
- For stubborn mud, allow it to dry first, then gently brush it off before wiping.
Drying Instructions:
- Air Dry at Room Temperature: After cleaning, allow the trainers to air dry naturally. Remove insocks to expedite drying if they got wet.
- Do Not Store Near a Heat Source: Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the materials and adhesives, potentially causing shrinkage or cracking.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
