Featuring a convenient slip-on construction secured by elastic straps, these trainers offer a secure fit without the hassle of traditional laces, making them an ideal choice for kids on the go.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand clean the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap to protect the longevity of the elastic materials.
Do I need to tie these shoes?
No, the Flex Runner 4 is a true slip-on trainer that uses elastic straps instead of laces.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The slip-on design is generally accommodating, but children with exceptionally wide feet may find the elastic tension requires a breaking-in period.
Can these be used for soccer or other organized sports?
While great for general play, these are casual trainers and do not provide the specialized protection required for contact sports.
What is the best way to store the trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colors from fading and the rubber from degrading.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding the shoe on
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully outward and the child points their toe downward to enter the shoe aperture easily.
Elastic straps feeling loose over time
Avoid over-stretching the straps when putting on the shoes; pull from the reinforced material rather than the elastic itself.
Dirt buildup in the outsole grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear debris from the flex grooves to ensure consistent traction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely easy for children to put on independently
- Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue
- Flexible sole supports natural foot motion
- Secure fit provided by elastic strapping system

Cons
- Not intended for heavy-duty sports or specialized track usage
- Slip-on design may be too loose for children with very narrow feet
- Fabric upper may show signs of wear more quickly than leather alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on trainers, no initial setup is required. To ensure a good fit, have the child stand to allow the foot to spread naturally before sliding the shoe on. To maintain the condition of the trainers, avoid machine washing when possible, as this can degrade the elasticity of the straps. Instead, spot clean the upper fabric with a soft brush and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
