FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Regatta Blaze Trainers feature 'Hydropel water-resistant' technology, which means they are designed to resist light moisture and splashes, helping to keep your feet dry in changeable weather. They are not fully waterproof for heavy rain or submersion.
How do I clean my Regatta Blaze Trainers?
Wipe the nylon ripstop upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean. Allow them to air dry naturally; do not machine wash or use direct heat.
What is the XLT midsole?
The XLT midsole is a feature designed to offer effective heel strike cushioning. This helps to reduce the impact on your feet and joints during high-intensity activities like running or jumping.
Can I use these trainers for running?
Yes, these trainers are suitable for running. They feature heel strike cushioning for impact reduction and a slip-resistant rubber outsole that provides traction on various terrains, making them good for both road and light trail running.
What is the 'speed lace fastening system'?
The speed lace fastening system allows you to quickly and easily tighten or loosen the laces for a secure and customized fit. It's designed for convenience and efficiency, especially when you need to adjust your footwear on the go.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper of the Regatta Blaze Trainers is crafted from breathable nylon ripstop, which is enhanced with the Hydropel water-resistant finish for durability and weather protection.
Are these trainers comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, they are designed for exceptional comfort. The moulded openfoam insock provides superior underfoot comfort, and the XLT midsole offers cushioning, making them suitable for long periods of wear during daily errands or active pursuits.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel damp after walking in light rain.
The Regatta Blaze Trainers feature Hydropel water-resistant technology, which is designed to resist light moisture. They are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions, consider specialized waterproof footwear.
The speed laces seem to loosen during activity.
Ensure the speed lace system is securely tightened and the toggle or excess lace is properly tucked away or secured to prevent accidental loosening during movement. A firm tug on the laces and a secure placement of the toggle should hold them in place.
The trainers feel less cushioned or supportive over time.
The moulded openfoam insock provides flexible comfort. Over prolonged use, insocks can compress. Consider replacing the insocks with new ones or specialized athletic insoles for renewed cushioning and support. Ensure the XLT midsole is not visibly compressed or damaged.
I'm experiencing less grip on slightly slippery surfaces.
Regularly clean the lightweight rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction. Dirt accumulation can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the slip-resistant surface.
There's an unpleasant odor inside the trainers.
Remove the insocks and air them out. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the trainers and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure your trainers are always fully dry before storing them, as moisture can lead to odor-causing bacteria.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the performance and longevity of your Regatta Blaze Trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the nylon ripstop upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and the Hydropel finish.
- Insoles: The moulded openfoam insocks can be removed for separate airing or hand washing if needed. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Water Resistance: The Hydropel finish provides water resistance, but it can diminish over time with wear and washing. While the product description does not specify re-proofing, general best practice for water-resistant footwear suggests considering an appropriate footwear re-proofing spray if you notice a significant reduction in water repellency.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers, as this can damage the materials, cushioning, and water-resistant properties.
