FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear at school?
Yes, the Nike Flex Runner 3's easy-to-pull-on design, comfort, and durability make them an excellent choice for all-day wear at school, including during recess and physical education.
Do these shoes have laces?
No, the Nike Flex Runner 3 features an easy-to-pull-on design with a stretchy bootie construction, eliminating the need for traditional laces. This makes them quick and easy for kids to put on themselves.
How do I clean these shoes?
For most dirt, simply wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Are these shoes good for running?
Yes, with their flexible outsole and lightweight design, they are well-suited for general running and active play. The grippy outsole provides good traction for various running surfaces.
What is the primary material of these shoes?
The shoes incorporate a stretchy bootie construction for comfort and fit, complemented by durable leather overlays for added support and longevity.
Are these shoes true to size?
Nike Flex Runner 3 shoes generally run true to size. It is recommended to choose your child's usual UK shoe size. If in doubt, measure your child's foot and compare it to a Nike size chart.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. The stretchy bootie should provide a snug fit without being restrictive. Consider the thickness of socks worn with the shoes.
Child's foot is slipping inside the shoe.
Check if the shoe size is appropriate. While the stretchy bootie offers a snug fit, an oversized shoe can lead to slipping. Ensure socks are not too slick.
Outsole seems less grippy over time.
Clean the outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt and debris, which can reduce traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear; significant wear may indicate it's time for new shoes.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Allow the shoes to air out completely after each use, especially if they become damp from sweat or play. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility
These shoes are primarily designed for kids (specifically boys in UK Size 12) who need comfortable, durable footwear for everyday active play. They are suitable for a wide range of casual activities, including school, playground visits, and general outdoor fun. They are not specifically designed for high-performance sports requiring specialized support like football or basketball cleats.
Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Flex Runner 3 shoes:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can also use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
