FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While comfortable for everyday wear, the Reebok Workout Plus Trainers are more suited for casual use, walking, and light gym activities like weight training or studio classes. They are not specifically designed for high-impact running or long-distance running, where dedicated running shoes with specialized cushioning and support are recommended.

How do I clean the leather upper of my trainers?

For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or scuffs, use a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner. Apply according to the product's instructions and then buff gently with a clean cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Generally, Reebok trainers are known to run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, as it can damage the leather and compromise the shoe's structure. If they get wet, follow the drying instructions in the 'Care' section.

How do I prevent creasing in the leather?

To minimize creasing, ensure the trainers fit well – too loose or too tight can exacerbate creasing. When not in use, store them with shoe trees inside to help maintain their shape. Regularly conditioning the leather also helps keep it supple and less prone to permanent creases.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. Loosen or tighten laces systematically from the toe upwards to find your ideal fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns, such as skip-lacing an eyelet if you have high arches, or using a 'runner's knot' for heel slippage. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or between the tongue and laces. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole. For external squeaks, check if laces are rubbing or if there's any debris in the sole's grooves.

Leather looks dull or scuffed

Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a neutral shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. For deeper scuffs, a colored polish matching the trainers' black color can be used, followed by conditioning.

Foot odor developing inside trainers

After each use, remove insoles (if removable) and allow the trainers to air out completely. Use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sachets, or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and odors. Regularly clean or replace insoles. Ensure your socks are clean and breathable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Getting the most out of your Reebok Workout Plus Trainers involves proper initial setup, understanding their compatibility, and consistent care.

Setup

  1. Lacing: When first wearing your trainers, take the time to properly lace them up. Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage. Use all eyelets for maximum security and support. Adjust lacing throughout the day if needed to maintain optimal comfort.

Compatibility

  • Attire: These trainers are highly compatible with casual wear, athleisure outfits, and light sportswear. Think jeans, joggers, shorts, t-shirts, and hoodies.
  • Activities: Best suited for daily walking, casual wear, light gym sessions (e.g., weightlifting, short cardio bursts), and studio classes. While comfortable, they are not designed for intensive running or highly specialized athletic performance where dedicated footwear is required.
  • Footwear Accessories: Pair with athletic socks for moisture-wicking and comfort. Ensure socks are not too thick to prevent overcrowding inside the shoe.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your leather Reebok Workout Plus Trainers:

  1. Regular Cleaning: For the leather upper, wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied according to the product's instructions.
  2. Spot Treatment: For scuffs or marks on the leather, use a small amount of leather conditioner or polish in a matching color to restore the finish.
  3. Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage leather.
  4. Air Out: After each use, especially if worn for exercise, remove the insoles (if removable) and allow the trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area to prevent odors.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather and synthetic materials.
