FAQs
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
No, the Nike Reax 8 is engineered for training and gym workouts. The weight and structural support are optimized for stability rather than the repetitive motion of long-distance running.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick training socks, consider the standard size you wear in other athletic footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the internal components and the faux leather upper. Always clean by hand with a damp cloth.
What surfaces are best for these trainers?
They are designed primarily for indoor gym use, such as rubber flooring, synthetic tracks, or hardwood surfaces.
Is the material breathable?
The faux leather provides durability and support but is less breathable than mesh shoes. It is best suited for temperature-controlled gym environments.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness around the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system completely, then re-tie starting from the bottom eyelets to customize the pressure distribution.
Squeaking on smooth gym floors
This is often caused by dust accumulation on the rubber pods; wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to restore grip.
Heel feels too stiff
The Reax unit is designed for structural support; ensure you are wearing the correct size to allow the cushioning to compress naturally under your body weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Reax 8 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short sessions at home before taking them to a full-intensity workout to allow the faux leather to soften.
- Lacing: Adjust the midfoot lacing to suit your arch height to maximize the 'locked-in' benefit.
- Cleaning: Wipe the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the material and adhesive.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the synthetic materials from warping or cracking.
