FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for all-weather conditions?
They feature a Hydropel water-resistant finish, making them suitable for changeable weather and light rain. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not recommended for heavy downpours or submerged conditions.
What kind of activities are these trainers best for?
These trainers are ideal for everyday activities, gym workouts, running, walking, and light outdoor adventures on trails. Their versatile design provides comfort and support across various terrains.
How do I clean my Regatta Blaze Trainers?
Allow any mud or dirt to dry, then brush it off gently. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water and mild soap. Air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is Hydropel technology?
Hydropel is a water-resistant finish applied to the trainer's upper. It helps to repel water from the surface, keeping your feet drier and more comfortable in damp conditions.
What does TECFOAM mean?
TECFOAM refers to the moulded open foam insock inside the trainers. This insock provides superior underfoot comfort, adapting to your foot's shape for enhanced support and flexibility.
Does the XLT midsole provide good cushioning?
Yes, the XLT technical midsole includes heel strike cushioning specifically designed to reduce impact and absorb shock. This helps to minimize fatigue during long periods of wear or intense activities.
How do I use the speed lace system?
To tighten, pull the laces through the stopper until you achieve a comfortable, snug fit, then release the stopper. To loosen, press the button on the stopper and pull the laces outwards.
Troubleshooting
My feet are getting wet in the rain.
The trainers feature a Hydropel water-resistant finish, which is designed to repel light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, your feet may get wet. Consider re-treating the upper with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if the water resistance has diminished.
The speed laces feel too tight or too loose.
The speed lace system is designed for quick adjustment. To tighten, pull the laces through the stopper until the desired snugness is achieved. To loosen, press the button on the stopper and pull the laces outwards. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed over your foot for optimal comfort.
I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing during activity.
First, check your sock choice; a proper athletic sock can greatly improve comfort. Ensure the speed lace system is adjusted correctly – sometimes being too tight or too loose can cause rubbing. If discomfort persists, inspect the insock for any displacement or wear. The TECFOAM insock adapts to your foot, but if it's new, a short break-in period may be needed. Ensure the sizing is correct for your foot.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and mud, allow the trainers to dry first. Then, gently brush off loose debris. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Water Resistance: The Hydropel finish is durable but may wear down over time. If you notice reduced water repellency, you can re-treat the upper with a suitable fabric waterproofing spray designed for breathable materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
