FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the React foam is highly responsive, these are lifestyle trainers and are not intended for long-distance running or professional athletic competition.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth and use a leather-safe cleaner. Never put these shoes in a washing machine.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the leather upper may have a slightly snugger feel than mesh models.
Can I use orthotic insoles with these?
The factory insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if preferred.
Are they water resistant?
The leather upper offers some protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize permanent creases.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure the laces are fully loosened; if the fit feels too tight, verify you are wearing the correct UK size.
Slight discomfort during break-in
Leather can feel stiff initially. Wear them for short intervals indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike React Element trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown leather tones. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust, and apply a specialized leather cleaner for tougher marks; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Ensure you match your UK sizing accurately, as these trainers are designed for a snug, secure fit. If you are between sizes, consider testing them with your preferred sock thickness to ensure optimal comfort.
