Product Information
Full details
The Nike Flex Train trainers are designed for active women who require a versatile shoe for varied workout routines, including strength training and short sprints. The primary benefit of these shoes is their combination of a lightweight upper and a flexible outsole, which allows for natural, multi-directional movement during intense exercise. However, users should be aware that these trainers are optimized for agility and gym-based activities rather than long-distance endurance running, which may require more structured cushioning.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are designed for training and short sprints; they lack the long-term impact cushioning required for distance running.
Can I use these for outdoor boot camps?
They are best for gym floors, but can be used for outdoor training on dry, flat surfaces; avoid mud or wet grass to maintain the integrity of the material.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand clean them. Machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and materials.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during heavy lifts
Ensure the laces are securely tied to lock the midfoot in place, and confirm you are on a flat, non-slip gym surface.
Odour buildup after intense workouts
Remove the insoles after training to allow them to air dry separately and use a shoe deodorizing spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Break-in Period: While these shoes are comfortable out of the box, perform low-intensity movements for the first few sessions to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the upper; avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh detergents.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Air dry naturally after intense sessions to maintain hygiene.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard size; if you plan to wear thick performance socks, ensure your foot remains secure without excessive pressure on the top of the foot.
