Product Information
Full details
The Nike Flex Runner 4 is a versatile trainer designed for active children who need a reliable, comfortable shoe for daily play and school activities. Its primary benefit is a highly flexible construction that adapts to natural foot movement, providing both support and ease of use. While these trainers excel in mobility, parents should note that the slip-on design is best suited for dry-weather environments as they lack the deep tread patterns found on specialized hiking or all-terrain boots.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can compromise the structural integrity of the flexible materials. Use a soft brush and damp cloth for cleaning.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the design includes integrated support zones to provide comfort and stability for active kids.
Can these be worn for running sports?
They are ideal for general play and light athletic activities, but for specialized, high-intensity running sports, a shoe with a more adjustable, lace-up lockdown may be preferred.
What is the best way to determine the right size?
Measure the child's foot at the end of the day when it is at its largest and ensure there is enough room for growth, typically about a centimeter of extra space.
Are they suitable for wider feet?
The flexible upper material offers a generous fit, making them accommodating for various foot shapes, including wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to pull on
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully upward to widen the opening while sliding the foot in.
Inner lining feeling damp
Remove the shoes after play to allow the breathable material to vent excess moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Nike Flex Runner 4 uses a slip-on design, no initial setup is required beyond ensuring the correct size is chosen for the child. To maintain the life of the shoes, it is recommended to spot-clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the flexible synthetic materials. Ensure the shoes are air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. When checking for fit, ensure there is roughly a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to accommodate growth.
