FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for heavy rain?

The Regatta Blaze Trainers feature a Hydropel water-resistant finish, which helps repel light moisture and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion.

Can I use these for long-distance running or serious hiking?

These trainers are well-suited for gym running, everyday jogs, and light-to-moderate hiking on varied terrains. For very long-distance running or challenging, multi-day serious hiking, specialized footwear with more rigid support and protection might be more appropriate.

How do I clean my Regatta Blaze Trainers?

Wipe off dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

What is TECFOAM and XLT technology?

TECFOAM refers to the moulded open foam insock that provides superior underfoot comfort, adapting to your foot's shape for enhanced support. XLT technical midsole includes heel strike cushioning designed to reduce impact and fatigue during activity.

Are the insocks removable?

Yes, the TECFOAM moulded open foam insocks are removable. This allows for easier cleaning and airing out of the trainers, contributing to better hygiene and comfort.

What kind of terrain are these outsoles good for?

The lightweight, slip-resistant rubber outsole provides durable traction and stability on various surfaces, including pavement, gym floors, and light to moderately rugged outdoor trails.

How do I adjust the speed lace system?

To tighten, simply pull the cord upwards until snug. The lace lock will hold it in place. To loosen, press the release mechanism on the lock and pull the cord outwards. Secure any excess lace to prevent snagging.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel wet even though the trainers are water-resistant.

The Hydropel finish provides water-resistance, meaning it repels light moisture and splashes. It is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or standing water, moisture can still penetrate. Consider waterproof gaiters for extreme conditions.

The speed lace system feels loose or doesn't hold tension.

Ensure the lace is fully engaged in the locking mechanism. Sometimes debris can get caught. Clean the lace and the lock, then re-tension by pulling firmly. If the issue persists, check for any visible damage to the lace or lock.

The trainers are making my feet uncomfortably warm.

The nylon ripstop upper is breathable, but intense activity or very warm weather can still lead to warmth. Ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Remove the insocks after use to air out the trainers and ensure full dryness.

I'm experiencing less grip on certain surfaces.

Regularly check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the treads thoroughly with a brush and water to ensure maximum contact with the surface. Worn outsoles may indicate it's time for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Regatta Blaze Trainers feature a speed lace fastening system for quick and secure adjustments.

  1. Donning the Trainers: Slide your foot into the trainer, ensuring your heel is seated comfortably.
  2. Tightening: Pull the cord of the speed lace system upwards until the desired snugness is achieved around your foot. The lace will hold its position automatically.
  3. Adjusting: If too tight, simply press the release mechanism on the lace lock and loosen the cord. If too loose, pull the cord again until secure.
  4. Securing Excess: Tuck any excess lace into the dedicated elastic loop or under other laces to prevent snagging during activity. ![Speed lace mechanism](#)

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for a wide range of activities and terrains:

  • Activities: Ideal for gym workouts, running, light hiking, trekking through trails, and general outdoor sports.
  • Terrains: Suitable for paved surfaces, gym floors, and light-to-moderate rugged terrain due to their slip-resistant outsole.
  • Weather: Best for dry to changeable weather, offering water-resistance against splashes and light rain.

Care Instructions

Proper care extends the life and performance of your trainers:

  • Cleaning: After use, especially outdoors, wipe off dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
  • Insoles: The TECFOAM insocks can be removed and aired out separately to maintain freshness and speed drying.
  • Water-Resistance: While water-resistant, regular exposure to heavy moisture can reduce the efficacy of the Hydropel finish over time. Re-treating with a suitable footwear water-repellent spray can help maintain protection.
