FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While inspired by running archives, the Classic AZ trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense running.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first and follow the product's instructions.
What does 'Unisex' mean for sizing?
Unisex sizing means the shoes are designed to fit both men and women. Refer to the size chart to convert your standard shoe size to the correct UK size for this model.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede overlays and the adhesives holding the shoe together.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is made of gum rubber, providing good traction and a classic retro look.
How should I store my Reebok Classic AZ trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain their condition.
What inspired the design of the Classic AZ?
The design is inspired by Reebok's heritage running archives from the 1970s and 1980s, specifically incorporating elements like the Aztec Heel strike wrap detail and a low-profile silhouette common in racing shoes of that era.
Troubleshooting
Tread appears worn quickly
The gum rubber outsole is designed for grip and style, and can wear faster on abrasive surfaces. This is normal wear and tear for this material. Ensure you are not using the trainers for sports activities that involve excessive friction or pivoting.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove light dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoe feels stiff initially
New trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. If the laces are particularly smooth, consider replacing them with textured laces for better friction.
