FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth to preserve the structural integrity of the materials.
Are these suitable for sports like running?
These are designed primarily for casual leisure and light activities, not for high-intensity competitive sports.
Does the NB FLASH provide good arch support?
The structured runner design provides standard support sufficient for daily wear and normal growing arches.
How should I clean the black upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may cause discoloration or fabric damage.
Is the lace-up closure easy for kids to use?
Lace-ups offer the most secure fit but may require assistance from an adult if the child is very young.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Double-knot the laces or swap them for shorter, high-friction laces to maintain tension.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Tighten the laces more firmly at the midfoot and ensure the tongue is centered.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a soft brush to remove dried mud before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, adjust the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to achieve uniform tension across the bridge of the foot. These shoes are compatible with standard youth foot arches. For care, keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to extreme heat, which can degrade the bonding materials. If they become soiled, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can compromise the structure and material integrity of the runner profile. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
