FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Epic React provides neutral support. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding a custom orthotic insole.
Can I use these for heavy weightlifting?
While stable, the foam is designed for energy return and cushioning; for heavy powerlifting, a flatter, firmer sole is generally recommended.
How do I determine my size in Flyknit?
Flyknit fits like a sock. Most users find their standard Nike size appropriate, though some prefer a half-size up if they prefer a less compressive feel.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the breathable mesh construction allows for airflow, meaning water can penetrate the fabric easily.
How long will the foam cushioning last?
The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage intensity, but the React foam is specifically formulated to retain its springiness for hundreds of miles.
Do I need to break these in?
The Flyknit upper conforms to your foot shape quickly, usually within the first few wears, requiring very little traditional break-in time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing pattern to a looser tension or skip the bottom-most eyelets to provide more room for the forefoot.
Midsole foam shows surface creases
Creasing is a natural characteristic of responsive foam materials like React and does not indicate a structural failure; it is purely cosmetic.
Knit material shows signs of pilling
Use a fabric shaver gently on the surface to remove small lint balls without snagging the primary weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Epic React Flyknit trainers, begin by loosening the laces fully when putting them on to avoid over-stretching the Flyknit fabric. Since these are performance trainers, they are best paired with moisture-wicking athletic socks to maximize the breathability of the upper. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid putting these shoes in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning and the knit structure. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
