FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or intense sports?
While they offer good cushioning and support for everyday wear and light training, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and may not provide the specialized features or support required for intense athletic activities like running or high-impact sports.
How do I clean the suede and nylon parts?
Use a dry suede brush for the suede and a soft brush for nylon. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended for suede, and a lightly damp cloth for nylon. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
What makes the heel 'extended'?
The extended heel design refers to a specific shaping of the rear of the shoe that provides increased stability and a more cushioned landing with each step.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. The nylon and suede materials can absorb water, so it is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, especially suede, can be damaged by the washing process. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the primary benefit of the die-cut EVA midsole?
The die-cut EVA midsole is lightweight and provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, contributing to the overall comfort and responsiveness of the shoe for all-day wear.
What does 'Classic AZ' refer to?
'Classic AZ' refers to a specific model within Reebok's Classic line, inspired by vintage racing silhouettes and updated with modern materials and construction for contemporary style and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable.
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Wear with appropriate socks. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or product.
Traction feels reduced.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from debris. The outsole is designed for general traction; avoid using in conditions with extremely slippery surfaces or for specialized sports requiring advanced grip.
Color transfer from side stripes.
This is rare but can occur if the shoes are exposed to excessive moisture or friction. Clean affected areas gently. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing, especially in damp conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Their unisex design makes them compatible with a wide range of foot shapes. To maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning: For the nylon and suede, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and a damp cloth for the nylon areas. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially in adverse weather conditions.
