FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer good cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for basketball and court sports, offering specific ankle support and traction for those activities. For dedicated running, a specialized running shoe would be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel snug and not slip excessively when walking.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the adhesives, materials, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is the best method.
What is the main benefit of the mid-cut design?
The mid-cut design provides enhanced ankle support, which is beneficial for stability and reducing the risk of ankle injuries during lateral movements and jumps common in sports like basketball.
How durable is the outsole?
The outsole is designed for durable traction on court surfaces. For extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces, wear may be accelerated.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The fit can vary, but the lacing system allows for some adjustment. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or check reviews specifically mentioning fit for wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing them with laces that have a slightly rougher texture for better grip, or double-knot them.
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive
Loosen the laces, especially around the ankle area. If the issue persists, ensure you have selected the correct size. The mid-cut design inherently offers more restriction than low-tops.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or the outsole rubbing against the midsole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the noise originates from there.
Dirt accumulation on white areas
Clean immediately after use with a damp cloth and mild soap as described in the care instructions. For tougher stains, a magic eraser can be used with caution on the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Reebok Press trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are tied securely for optimal support and fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are suitable for basketball, training, and casual use. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the mesh and synthetic upper with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap diluted in water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed, especially from the tread.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before re-lacing.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
