Regatta Blaze Trainers - Black, UK 8

No, these trainers feature Hydropel water-resistant technology, which helps repel water and keep your feet dry in changeable weather. They are not fully waterproof and are not designed for submersion or extremely heavy rain.

To adjust, simply pull the laces to tighten the fit. To loosen, release the locking mechanism (usually a small toggle) and pull the laces outwards until you achieve the desired comfort. Secure the toggle once adjusted.

TECFOAM refers to the moulded open foam insock inside the trainers. It's designed to provide superior underfoot comfort by adapting to your foot's shape, offering enhanced support and flexibility.

The Regatta Blaze Trainers are versatile and ideal for a range of activities including light hiking, trail walking, general outdoor sports, gym workouts, running, and everyday casual wear due to their comfort and protective features.

For cleaning, wipe the nylon ripstop upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse gently and air dry away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the materials and water-resistant finish.

The XLT technical midsole is engineered with heel strike cushioning. Its purpose is to effectively reduce impact and minimize foot fatigue, especially during prolonged periods of activity or when traversing rugged terrain.

Utilize the speed lace fastening system to quickly adjust the fit. Pull the laces to tighten, or release the mechanism and loosen for more room. Ensure the fit is snug but not constricting, allowing for foot movement without excessive rubbing.

The Hydropel technology provides water-resistance, meaning it repels water but is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or puddles, consider using waterproof gaiters or switching to fully waterproof footwear. Regularly clean the trainers and reapply a water-resistant treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics to maintain the Hydropel's effectiveness.

Remove the TECFOAM insock and clean it gently with mild soap and water, then air dry. Check for any signs of excessive wear on the insock or midsole. If the insock is compressed or worn, consider replacing it with a new, supportive insole for renewed comfort.
