FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best suited for?
The Reebok Energen Speed trainers are best suited for daily road running and general fitness training due to their lightweight design and responsive cushioning.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The trainers feature a standard fit. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may want to try them on first or consider if a wider fit option is available.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the material's integrity and breathability.
Can I use these for cross-training or gym workouts?
While they can be used for light gym activities, they are primarily designed for running. For intense cross-training with lateral movements, specialized trainers may offer better support.
What is the main difference between Energen and Energen Speed models?
The Energen Speed models typically emphasize a lighter feel and a more responsive, faster ride, ideal for tempo runs or faster training days, while the general Energen line might offer a slightly more cushioned or stable feel for everyday mileage.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of a breathable mesh material with tonal synthetic overlays for support.
How durable is the foam midsole?
The sculpted foam midsole is designed for smooth energy return and durability for daily training mileage. Like all cushioning materials, its responsiveness will gradually decrease with extensive use over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For initial wear, try wearing them with thinner socks. The mesh upper may offer some stretch over time, but proper sizing is key.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction. For wet conditions, exercise caution as grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that could affect traction.
Upper material feels stiff
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Avoid machine washing.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Energen Speed trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh upper and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
