FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running long distances?
The Reebok Flex Trainer is primarily designed for gym-based training and cross-training. While they offer some flexibility, they may not provide sufficient cushioning or support for dedicated long-distance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means there should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not constricted.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Reebok Flex Trainer. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand-washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does 'Duraflex innovation' mean for the outsole?
Duraflex innovation refers to the specific design and materials used in the outsole to promote flexibility and synchronisation with the natural motion of your foot during various training exercises.
Is the heel clip removable?
The Atomic Aqua heel clip is an integrated part of the shoe's design for stability and is not intended to be removed.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper and are not designed to be waterproof. They are suitable for indoor training but not for use in wet conditions.
What is the main advantage of the targeted overlays?
The overlays are strategically placed to provide extra support and durability in high-wear areas, such as around the laces and toe box, without adding unnecessary weight or stiffness.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to allow them to mould to your feet. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help.
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For persistent issues on very slick surfaces, consider the environment of use.
Discomfort during lateral movements
Check that the laces are secured properly, providing adequate lockdown. Ensure the heel clip is offering the expected stability.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Flex Trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and overlays with a damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for tougher marks, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
