Product Information
Full details
The Reebok R400 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a stylish and comfortable unisex shoe with a nod to 80s racing heritage. Their key benefit is the versatile, low-profile aesthetic combined with breathable materials and a high-traction outsole. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are primarily designed for leisure and light sports, not intense athletic training. These trainers feature a blend of nylon and suede, a gum rubber outsole, and distinctive green Vector branding on a clean white base.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Reebok R400 Trainers are designed for leisure and light sports. While comfortable for casual wear and moderate activity, they may not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for marathon running.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Reebok or the retailer. These are unisex trainers, so consider the corresponding men's or women's sizing if available. The UK 10.5 size is a specific measurement.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and sole adhesive.
What is the main inspiration behind the R400 design?
The R400 design is inspired by Reebok's deep running archives, featuring a low-profile silhouette and elements reminiscent of 80s racing shoes.
How should I care for the suede and nylon parts?
Use a soft brush for general cleaning. For suede, use a suede brush or eraser. Avoid excessive moisture. For nylon, a damp cloth usually suffices.
What kind of grip does the gum rubber outsole offer?
The gum rubber outsole is designed to provide high traction, ensuring a reliable grip on various surfaces.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. They are constructed with breathable nylon and suede, making them suitable for dry conditions. Water exposure should be minimized, especially for the suede components.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If still tight after a few wears, consider using a shoe stretcher or consult a cobbler. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Suede becoming dirty or matted
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid water on suede whenever possible.
Gum sole showing wear
Regular cleaning of the sole can prevent debris buildup that might accelerate wear. For significant wear, consult a shoe repair specialist.
Fraying laces
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Many sports retailers offer replacement laces.
