FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Reax 8 is primarily a training shoe. While comfortable for gym activities and short intervals, they are not specifically engineered for high-mileage technical running.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the faux leather upper. Please use a damp cloth to clean them.
Do these provide arch support?
The design features a stable base and a locked-in fit that provides neutral support suitable for most foot types.
Is the material waterproof?
The faux leather is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not fully waterproof.
How should I store them to prevent odors?
Allow your trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area after each workout and consider using a deodorizing insert if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight around the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets to relieve pressure, ensuring the tongue is centered.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove stones or dirt trapped within the flex grooves.
Creasing on the upper
Faux leather can develop creases over time; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structural shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Reax 8 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The dynamic lacing system allows for adjustments; ensure you tighten the laces while standing to distribute pressure evenly across the arch.
- Cleaning: Wipe the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic materials.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can cause the adhesives to weaken and the material to warp.
- Surface Compatibility: These trainers are best suited for gym flooring, concrete, and asphalt. Avoid excessive use on abrasive, uneven terrain to preserve the rubber outsole pods.
