FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Reebok Defiance 88 trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not engineered for high-impact sports like running or intense athletic training.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow product instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry.

What does 'unisex' mean for sizing?

Unisex sizing means the shoes are designed to fit both men and women. It's recommended to consult the specific sizing chart provided, as men's and women's sizing can differ.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Applying a leather protector spray can offer some water resistance.

What inspired the Defiance 88 design?

The Defiance 88 is inspired by classic 80s court shoe silhouettes, offering a retro and nostalgic aesthetic.

What are the gold accents made of?

The gold accents are a metallic finish applied to the branding and heel, adding a premium visual detail to the trainers.

How durable is the rubber cupsole?

The rubber cupsole is designed for durability and provides stability and traction for everyday urban use.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal for leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.

Sizing feels slightly off

Due to the retro design and unisex fit, try wearing thicker socks or consult sizing charts for precise measurements. Consider trying a half-size up or down if experiencing discomfort.

Gold metallic accents appear dull

Gently wipe the accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using cleaning solutions directly on the metallic parts.
