FAQs
Is the Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 suitable for trail running?
This model is designed primarily for road running. The outsole lacks the aggressive lug patterns required for technical trail grip.
How should I store the shoes?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from yellowing and the knit from becoming brittle.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Generally, yes. However, because of the sock-like Flyknit upper, some runners prefer a half-size up if they wear thicker socks.
Can I replace the insole?
The insole is designed to be integrated with the footbed. While it can be removed, doing so may affect the intended cushioning profile.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as agitation and heat can damage the Flyknit fibers and the foam midsole.
Troubleshooting
Knit material shows debris accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum with a brush attachment to gently lift dirt from the fibers.
Feeling of slippage in the heel
Ensure your laces are tightened securely using the top eyelet to create a more locked-in feel.
Foam appears compressed after long runs
Rotate your shoes to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions, typically 24-48 hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in optimal condition, focus on proper sizing and regular maintenance. Since the Flyknit material is elastic, ensure you choose the correct size to maintain a secure lockdown without pressure points. To clean the shoes, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the outsole. For the Flyknit upper, hand wash using a mild detergent and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the foam cushioning and the knit structure.
