FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor running?
While they are comfortable for light running, they are primarily designed for indoor or gym environments and may lack the specific cushioning needed for high-impact outdoor pavement running.
How do I know if the UK 7 size is correct for me?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe while wearing your standard gym socks.
Can I use these for heavy deadlifting?
These shoes are designed for general training; while they provide good ground feel, you may prefer a flatter, zero-drop shoe for maximal heavy deadlifting.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or the rubber from hardening.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Nike Flex series generally follows standard athletic sizing, though individual foot width can vary the fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly through all eyelets and consider using a performance athletic sock for better grip.
Accumulated debris in the flex grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove gravel or debris from the underside of the sole to maintain peak flexibility.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles after a workout to air them out separately and store shoes in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Flex trainers maintain their integrity, it is important to handle them with proper care. Since these are performance shoes, ensure the size UK 7 is a snug but comfortable fit to prevent blistering. For care, avoid putting them in the washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives and structural foam. Instead, spot clean the mesh upper with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material. If you find the laces lose tension during intense sessions, a double knot will typically suffice given the lightweight eyelet construction.
