Product Information
Full details
The Nike Flex 2017 RN trainers are designed for active women who prioritize natural motion and lightweight comfort during daily runs or fitness workouts. These trainers deliver a highly flexible ride and a supportive, secure fit that accommodates various foot movements. One caveat to note is that the minimalist design prioritizes flexibility over heavy-duty stability or aggressive tread, making them best suited for road running or gym sessions rather than rugged trail terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions, but as with all performance footwear, we recommend wearing your usual athletic sock thickness when trying them on.
Can I use these for long-distance marathon running?
While they are suitable for daily runs, they are designed as lightweight trainers; runners needing high-level cushioning for long-distance comfort might prefer a more structured model.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotic supports if necessary.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, it is highly recommended to hand clean them with mild soap and water to preserve the materials and structural integrity.
What is the primary use case for this shoe?
They are best suited for road running, walking, and general gym-based fitness activities.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage inside the shoe
Try adjusting the lacing technique, such as using the runner's loop at the top eyelet to secure the heel.
Accumulation of debris in the flex grooves
Gently tap the soles against each other after a run or use a soft brush to remove pebbles from the grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Flex 2017 RN trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. When first using the shoes, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug but non-restrictive fit across the midfoot. If you are replacing insoles for custom orthotics, ensure they fit within the standard footbed dimensions. For cleaning, avoid the washing machine, as the heat and agitation can degrade the adhesives. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with mild soap to remove dirt. Always air dry your trainers at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as these can cause the foam to warp or lose its shape.
