Product Information
Full details
The Nike Flex Runner 3 is a versatile, slip-on trainer specifically engineered for active children who need a reliable shoe for school, recess, and spontaneous outdoor play. Featuring a stretchable bootie design for effortless entry and durable leather overlays, it offers a secure fit that keeps up with high-energy movement. While the shoe provides excellent traction and comfort, the pull-on construction may feel too snug for children with wider feet or those who prefer traditional lace-up adjustability.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Nike Flex Runner 3. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth is the best way to maintain the leather and elastic components.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The Flex Runner 3 is designed with a focus on flexibility and natural movement, which is suitable for general play and growing feet.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Nike sizing is generally standard; however, because of the snug fit of the slip-on bootie, if your child is between sizes or has wider feet, you may want to consider sizing up.
Can these be used for sports like soccer or tennis?
While the traction is excellent for general play, these are designed as general trainers. For specialized sports, consider footwear with specific sport-tuned features.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather overlays provide some protection against light moisture, but these shoes are not considered waterproof.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight to put on.
Ensure the heel tab is being used to pull the bootie open. If it remains too tight, check if the child is wearing extra-thick socks that might be adding bulk.
Scuff marks appearing on the leather.
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth to gently buff out surface scuffs and restore the appearance of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on trainers, there is no assembly required; simply slide the foot into the bootie and ensure the heel tab is pulled up for a snug fit. For maintenance, keep the shoes in peak condition by regularly wiping the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove mud or dust. Avoid machine washing or drying, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity of the leather and the elasticity of the bootie. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
