Product Information
Full details
The Nike Flex Runner 4 Trainers are designed for active kids who need a reliable, comfortable shoe for daily play. Featuring an easy slip-on design and elasticated straps, they provide a secure fit without the hassle of traditional laces, making them ideal for independent children. While they excel in comfort and mobility, the slip-on style means they are primarily suited for casual play and athletic activities rather than specialized sports requiring high-performance lockdown.

FAQs
Do these shoes require socks?
Yes, we recommend wearing athletic socks to wick moisture and prevent blisters.
Are these machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Flex Runner 4. Use a damp cloth for spot cleaning to prolong the lifespan of the materials.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The elastic construction offers some stretch, but they are generally designed for standard foot widths.
Can these be used for soccer or basketball?
While durable for general play, they do not provide the lateral support needed for high-impact court sports.
Do the straps lose elasticity over time?
With normal wear and proper care, the high-quality elastic straps are designed to maintain their shape for the duration of the shoe's life cycle.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the top of the foot
Ensure the elastic strap is centered and not bunched. If the tightness persists, it may indicate that the child requires a wider size or a different style.
Heel slipping while walking
Verify that the heel strap is properly pulled up and seated correctly against the back of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for immediate wear out of the box—no break-in period is typically required. To ensure a proper fit, ensure the elastic straps are pulled evenly across the midfoot. For cleaning, wipe the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the color vibrancy. Avoid putting these shoes in a washing machine, as high-heat agitation can weaken the elasticity of the straps and the adhesive bonding. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
