The Reebok NANOFLEX TR 2 is engineered to support a broad spectrum of gym-based training activities, helping you maximize your performance.
Dynamic Training: The combination of the TPU heel clip and secure lace closure ensures your foot remains stable and locked in during high-impact and multi-directional movements. This is vital for exercises like box jumps, burpees, agility drills, and lateral lunges, providing confidence and reducing risk of ankle roll.
Comfort and Endurance: With its EVA midsole, the shoe effectively cushions impacts from plyometric exercises and offers continuous comfort, allowing you to focus on your workout, whether it's a long circuit training session or a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) class. The textile lining further enhances this comfort by providing a soft internal environment.
Breathability: The breathable mesh upper actively promotes air circulation around your foot. This feature is particularly beneficial during strenuous workouts, helping to regulate foot temperature and minimize moisture buildup, keeping your feet feeling cooler and drier.
Reliable Grip: The redesigned high-traction outsole is crucial for maintaining firm contact with the ground. This prevents slippage on various gym surfaces—from rubberized flooring to weight room platforms—ensuring stability during heavy lifts like squats or deadlifts, and quick pivots during functional training.
Versatile Application: This model excels in general fitness, strength training, boot camps, and studio classes. Its balanced design makes it a reliable partner for anyone looking for a dependable all-around training shoe.
To get the most out of your Reebok NANOFLEX TR 2 shoes, proper setup, understanding their compatibility, and routine care are essential.
Lacing: Begin by ensuring the laces are evenly tensioned from the toe box upwards. Thread them through all eyelets. Tie them securely, but not so tightly that they restrict blood flow or cause discomfort. A double knot can prevent laces from coming undone during intense activity.
Fit Check: Stand up and walk around. Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front, and your heel should feel snug without slipping significantly.
Ideal Use: These shoes are specifically designed for adult training sessions, including: weightlifting (non-specialized), circuit training, HIIT, functional fitness, group exercise classes, and general gym workouts.
Less Suitable For: While versatile, they are not optimized for:
Long-distance running or marathon training (due to different cushioning and flexibility requirements).
Highly specialized Olympic lifting or powerlifting (where a very flat, rigid sole or specific heel height might be preferred).
Outdoor trail running (as the outsole is designed for indoor surfaces).
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your shoes.
Cleaning:
Wipe down the mesh upper and outsole with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water).
Gently scrub any stubborn spots with an old toothbrush.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying:
Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Excessive heat can damage materials and adhesives.
You can stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage:
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Odor Control:
Remove insoles periodically to air them out.
Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets to absorb odors.
Rotation: If you train frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of training shoes. This allows each pair to fully dry out and recover, extending their overall lifespan.
