Full details
The Reebok Freestyle Hi in Black (UK 5) is designed for adult women seeking a blend of retro style and everyday comfort. Its key benefit is the iconic heritage design combined with a soft leather upper and cushioning for all-day wear.

FAQs
Are these suitable for running?
The Reebok Freestyle Hi is designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday comfort and style, not for specialized running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the black leather?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner and conditioner, then buff with a soft cloth. Allow to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, helping to reduce foot fatigue during daily wear.
Is the sizing true to UK size 5?
Sizing can vary between shoe models. It is recommended to consult size charts and customer reviews for the most accurate fit guidance. Trying them on if possible is ideal.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These trainers are not waterproof. While the leather offers some resistance, they are best avoided in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.
What does 'Freestyle Hi' refer to?
'Freestyle' refers to the original 80s aerobics and fitness culture inspiration, and 'Hi' indicates the high-top cut of the shoe.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these?
Ankle socks or crew socks are generally recommended for comfort and to prevent chafing with this high-top design.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the laces are tied correctly. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Gently buff with a soft cloth. Avoid over-conditioning.
Traction feels reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from mud or debris. For persistent issues on slippery surfaces, consider the limitations of the tread pattern for specialized conditions.
Discomfort after extended wear
Verify the lacing provides adequate support without being too tight. Ensure the shoe size is correct. Consider replacing the foam insole with a more supportive aftermarket insert if needed.
