FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The SKX REIGN trainers have a standard width. While they feature a mid-foot wrap for a secure fit, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or check for available wide-fit options.
What is the benefit of the carbon-infused plate?
The carbon-infused plate is engineered to increase energy return and provide a stiffer, more responsive feel during explosive movements like jumping and sprinting, aiding in faster acceleration and powerful take-offs.
How does the HYPER BURST® PRO™ sock liner differ from the HYPER BURST® midsole?
The HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner is a responsive insert that sits just below the foot for immediate comfort and cushioning, while the dual-density HYPER BURST® midsole provides the primary cushioning and energy return system throughout the shoe's base.
Can these shoes be used for outdoor basketball?
These trainers are primarily designed for indoor court performance. The Goodyear® Performance Outsole offers optimal grip on clean indoor surfaces. Outdoor use on rougher terrain may lead to premature wear and reduced traction.
Are the Skechers SKX REIGN trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are constructed with textile and synthetic materials that offer breathability but will absorb moisture if exposed to water. It is best to keep them dry.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Please refer to the Skechers warranty policy for specific details regarding the warranty period and coverage for footwear. Typically, it covers manufacturing defects for a limited time.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or stiff
Allow for a break-in period of 2-3 wearings. Wear them with athletic socks. You can also try gently flexing the shoe manually.
Reduced traction on the court
Ensure the outsole is clean from dust and debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth. If the issue persists after cleaning, the outsole may be worn down.
Discomfort in the arch area
The shoe features a supportive midsole. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles that better match your foot arch type.
Laces not staying tied
Ensure the laces are securely tied using a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a material that offers better friction if they are slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are properly laced to utilize the secure fit features. For the best experience, wear them during a light practice session to allow them to conform to your foot.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor basketball courts. The outsole is optimized for court surfaces. Avoid wearing them on abrasive outdoor surfaces or in wet conditions, as this can impact performance and durability.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a damp cloth rinse.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or hairdryers), as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust and moisture.
