FAQs

What makes the Nike GO FlyEase hands-free?

The shoe features a unique bi-stable hinge that allows the heel to stay open when the shoe is laid flat, and a semi-detachable kickstand heel that you can push down with your opposite foot to easily remove the shoe.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While comfortable for walking and general wear, the GO FlyEase series is primarily designed for convenience and ease of use rather than high-performance athletic activities like running. For dedicated running, consider Nike's performance running shoe lines.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking the shoe. Allow it to air dry completely.

What is the purpose of the split sole unit?

The split sole design contributes to the shoe's flexibility and allows for the unique hands-free mechanism to function effectively, providing grip and stability.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, you can wear the Nike GO FlyEase with or without socks. The soft insole lining is designed for comfort either way.

What are the main benefits for someone with a disability?

The primary benefit is the ability to put on and take off shoes independently, which is incredibly helpful for individuals with limited hand dexterity or mobility challenges.

How durable is the hands-free mechanism?

The mechanism is designed for regular use. However, avoid excessive force or using the kickstand heel for any purpose other than shoe removal, such as standing on it.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty engaging the hands-free mechanism

Ensure the shoe is on a flat, stable surface. Try stepping down firmly and evenly into the shoe, allowing the hinge to fully engage. Check that the kickstand heel is clear of any debris.

Shoes feel too loose or too tight

The fit is primarily determined by your foot size. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The tension band provides a snug fit once the shoe is on; if it feels uncomfortable, try re-engaging the hands-free mechanism.

Kickstand heel does not disengage properly

Gently twist your foot slightly as you push down on the heel to help disengage the mechanism. Ensure no objects are obstructing the heel area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

There is no complex setup required for the Nike GO FlyEase. Simply ensure the shoe is placed on a flat surface, step your foot into the heel opening, and the shoe will engage its mechanism, allowing you to slide your foot forward. To remove, gently push down on the heel with your opposite foot to disengage the kickstand and slide your foot out.

Compatibility:

These shoes are designed for adult wear and are compatible with a wide range of foot sizes (available in various UK sizes). They are suitable for most standard foot shapes.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the mesh uppers and the sole. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or machine dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the kickstand heel is not under constant pressure when stored to maintain its functionality.
