Regatta Leighton - Dark Khaki Green - UK 6

No, the Regatta Leighton trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They feature a breathable ripstop nylon upper for comfort, but they are not intended for use in wet or rainy conditions where water protection is required.

For best results, gently wipe the ripstop nylon and synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials.

While the Leighton trainers offer cushioning and shock absorption suitable for light exercise and gym use, they are not specialized running shoes for high-intensity, long-distance running, or demanding sports. They are best suited for everyday activities and casual wear.

The Regatta Leighton trainers feature a TECFOAM moulded open foam insock which provides flexible underfoot comfort. For specific or advanced arch support needs, you may consider consulting a specialist for custom orthotics or insoles.

The trainers are equipped with a TPR sole unit, which is designed for good durability and traction on everyday surfaces. It is built to withstand regular use for activities like walking and light exercise.

The TECFOAM moulded open foam insock is designed for comfort and is typically integrated. While not explicitly advertised as easily removable for regular exchange, it may be possible to carefully remove it if needed for cleaning or replacement with custom orthotics.

Regatta trainers generally run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's always recommended to try them on and ensure there's adequate room in the toe box while feeling secure around the heel and midfoot.

Ensure the trainers are laced correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Check for any creasing in socks or debris inside. Allow a short break-in period for the padding to conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size.

Adjust the lacing system. If still too tight, ensure you're wearing appropriate thin socks. If too loose, try thicker socks or consider if a smaller size might be needed. Foot swelling can also occur throughout the day, so try them at different times.

This can often be caused by the insock rubbing against the sole. Try removing the insock, cleaning both the insock and the shoe's interior, and then reinserting it properly. Alternatively, a small amount of baby powder under the insock can sometimes resolve this.

After each use, allow the trainers to air out completely. Remove the insocks if possible and let them dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or place sachets of baking soda inside when not in use to absorb moisture and odors.

Clean the TPR sole unit thoroughly, ensuring no dirt, mud, or debris is lodged in the treads. Worn-out soles naturally lose some grip; consider the age and mileage of the trainers if cleaning doesn't help.
