FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

The Defiance 88 trainers are designed primarily for style and casual wear. While they offer good support for everyday activities, they are not intended for intense athletic training or sports.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild leather cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

The leather can be treated with a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to offer some protection against light moisture. However, they are not waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

What does 'retro tooling' refer to?

Retro tooling refers to the design elements of the sole and midsole that are inspired by older shoe models, contributing to the vintage aesthetic and providing functional support.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Defiance 88 series is available in various colorways, including different shades of white and beige, often with gold accents. Please check the product listings for available options.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of durable rubber, designed for stability and everyday wear.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the Defiance 88 trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for both men and women.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Gold metallic accents show wear

Avoid harsh scrubbing on the metallic areas. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For significant wear, professional shoe restoration might be an option.

Soles appear worn or dirty

Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush can be used. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.

Sizing feels slightly off

Refer to the Reebok sizing chart for accurate measurements. If possible, try on the shoes before purchasing or ensure there is a clear return policy if ordering online.
