FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The React Element 87 is designed primarily as a casual lifestyle trainer rather than a performance running shoe.
How do I clean the white accents?
Use a white-specific shoe cleaner or a soft eraser brush to keep the white accents bright without damaging the surrounding leather.
Is the leather upper water-resistant?
While leather provides some protection, it is not waterproof; avoid heavy rain to prevent staining or material damage.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotic inserts.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel tight or restrictive
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before entry and verify that you are wearing an appropriate thickness of sock for your foot width.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle mixture of mild soap and water on a soft cloth to spot-clean the affected area.
Reduced comfort after heavy use
Allow the foam soles to 'rest' for 24 hours between heavy use cycles to allow the material to regain its natural form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the leather material offers minimal stretch over time. For ongoing care, wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather and the foam integrity. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking or warping.
