FAQs
Are these trainers fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Blaze Trainers feature a Hydropel water-resistant finish, meaning they can repel light rain and splashes to help keep your feet dry. They are not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours or submersion.
Can I use these trainers for serious hiking?
These trainers are suitable for light to moderate hiking on well-maintained trails and moderately rugged terrain, thanks to their slip-resistant outsole and cushioning. For very technical, steep, or extremely uneven terrain, dedicated heavy-duty hiking boots with greater ankle support might be more appropriate.
How do I clean my Blaze Trainers?
Gently brush off any loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the nylon upper and rubber sole. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the speed lace system?
The speed lace system allows for quick, easy, and secure adjustments, enabling you to achieve a personalized and snug fit with minimal effort, whether you're putting them on or adjusting them mid-activity.
What kind of support do these trainers offer?
The Regatta Blaze Trainers offer superior underfoot comfort and support through their TECFOAM moulded openfoam insock, which adapts to your foot's shape, and the XLT technical midsole with heel strike cushioning, which reduces impact and fatigue.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The product description does not specify suitability for wide feet. However, the speed lace system offers flexibility for adjustment, which might accommodate a range of foot widths. For best fit, it's recommended to try them on.
Will the water-resistant finish last forever?
The Hydropel water-resistant finish is durable but its effectiveness can diminish over time with extensive use and washing. Regular cleaning and proper care can help maintain its performance.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel wet after walking in light rain.
While the Hydropel finish offers water resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. For heavier rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, additional waterproof footwear or protection may be necessary. Ensure the speed laces are tightened properly to minimize water entry.
The trainers feel less comfortable or supportive after extended use.
The TECFOAM insock adapts to your foot over time. If comfort decreases, remove the insock and check for debris underneath. Consider replacing insoles periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months, depending on usage) as they naturally compress and lose cushioning.
The laces loosen during activity despite being locked.
Ensure the speed lace toggle is firmly pushed down to secure the laces. For a more robust hold, after tightening and locking the toggle, you can loop the excess laces once around the toggle or tie a simple knot with the excess lace ends to add extra security, although this is usually not necessary if the toggle is properly engaged.

Setup
The Regatta Blaze Trainers feature a speed lace fastening system for quick and easy setup. To achieve a secure and comfortable fit:
- Loosen: Pull the laces outwards from the toggle to loosen the fit for easy entry.
- Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the trainer.
- Tighten: Pull the ends of the laces through the toggle until the desired snugness is achieved.
- Secure: Push the toggle down to lock the laces in place. You can tuck any excess lace into the elastic loops or under the laces to prevent snagging.

- Terrains: Suitable for paved roads, gym floors, park trails, and moderately rugged outdoor surfaces, offering slip-resistant performance.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Regatta Blaze Trainers:
- Cleaning:
- Brush off loose dirt and debris with a soft brush or cloth.
- Wipe down the nylon ripstop upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the Hydropel finish and materials.
- For insoles, remove and hand wash with mild soap, then air dry.
- Drying:
- Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature.
- Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Ensure trainers are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Water-Resistant Finish Maintenance: The Hydropel finish provides water resistance. Regular cleaning helps maintain its effectiveness. Note that water resistance can decrease over time with extensive use.
