FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The React Element 87 is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer. While it offers great comfort, it is not optimized for long-distance or high-intensity running.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers generally fit true to size, but since they feature a structured design, choosing your standard Nike size is recommended. Reference the UK 11.5 size if that is your usual measurement.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While the leather construction offers some protection, these are not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the appearance of the materials.
Does the React foam flatten out over time?
React foam is engineered for high durability and resistance to compression, maintaining its responsive feel much longer than traditional EVA foams.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which allows for the use of custom orthotics if additional arch support is needed.
How do I prevent the leather from creasing?
Using cedar shoe trees when not in use helps maintain the shape of the shoe and minimizes deep creases in the leather.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness around the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser through the midfoot section to allow for a more natural expansion during activity.
Visible dirt on the foam midsole
Use a soft-bristled brush with a small amount of warm water and mild soap to gently scrub the foam surface, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Leather appearing dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner formulated for sneakers to restore suppleness and protect the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike React Element 87 trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Given the leather composition, store these shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading or material stiffening. If the leather becomes soiled, use a damp cloth to wipe the surface gently, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish. For the foam midsole, light spot cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap will help maintain its appearance. Always ensure the laces are loosened before removing the shoes to prevent unnecessary strain on the heel structure.
