Full details

Featuring a durable runner-inspired silhouette and a secure lace-up closure, these trainers provide excellent support for school days and casual play, though parents should note that the lace-up design requires kids to be able to tie their own shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean these trainers by hand using a damp cloth, as machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and materials.
Do these come with velcro closures?
No, this specific model features a traditional lace-up closure for a secure, customizable fit.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The defined toe box provides a more natural fit than standard slim-fit trainers, but it is recommended to check the specific UK sizing to ensure the best length and width match.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal liners are typically removable, allowing you to swap them for your preferred aftermarket or orthotic insoles.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These trainers are designed for breathability and are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles to maintain the shoe's condition.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Teach a double-knot technique or replace with elastic laces if the child struggles with traditional knots.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Check if the laces are tightened too much across the midfoot; loosen the lacing pattern to relieve tension.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn mud
Allow mud to dry completely before brushing it off, then use a cloth dampened with a gentle soap solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your NB FLASH Trainers remain in good condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the midfoot without being overly tight.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe the synthetic or fabric uppers with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for standard sizing; if your child uses custom orthotics, ensure the internal volume is sufficient before inserting them.
