FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Defiance 88 trainers are designed for casual wear and urban activities. They offer good comfort and stability for walking but are not specialized for high-impact running.

How do I clean the gold metallic accents?

Gently wipe the gold accents with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh cleaning solutions that could damage the metallic finish.

What is the material of the trainers?

The trainers feature a premium leather upper.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather upper offers some protection, it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance.

What does 'Unisex' mean for sizing?

Unisex means the shoe is designed to be worn by any gender. The sizing is based on standard UK shoe measurements for adults.

How do I find my correct UK shoe size?

Measure the length of your foot from heel to toe and compare it with the Reebok sizing chart provided on their official website or product page.

Troubleshooting

Sizing appears incorrect

Ensure you have correctly converted the UK size to your local standard. Refer to the Reebok sizing chart for accurate measurements.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner or conditioner appropriate for the shoe's color. Protect the shoes with a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather.

Sole feels stiff initially

The rubber cupsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Pros and Cons

  • Authentic retro aesthetic appealing to vintage sneaker enthusiasts.
  • Premium leather construction offers durability and a luxurious feel.
  • Versatile unisex design makes them suitable for a wide range of wearers.
  • Gold metallic accents provide a stylish, elevated touch.
  • Comfortable rubber cupsole suitable for daily urban activities.

Cons

  • Sizing is UK-based, requiring careful conversion for international buyers.
  • Primarily designed for casual wear; may not offer specialized support for intense athletic training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no initial setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with standard sock wear. To maintain the premium look and feel of the leather:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and protect from dust.
