Product Information
Full details
The Nike Flex Runner 4 is designed specifically for toddlers who need a reliable, everyday trainer that balances lightweight comfort with structural stability. It is an ideal choice for active youngsters developing their gait, though parents should note that as a slip-on design, it prioritizes quick, independent wear over high-precision lace-up adjustment. The shoe features a flexible build that supports natural foot movement while maintaining a secure, snug fit for daily play.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended. We suggest spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the materials.
Does this shoe come with laces?
No, the Nike Flex Runner 4 is a slip-on design that utilizes elastic tension to provide a secure fit without the need for traditional laces.
Is this suitable for wide feet?
The flexible upper provides some stretch to accommodate various foot widths, but if your toddler has exceptionally wide feet, we recommend trying a pair on to ensure a comfortable fit.
How should I measure my child's feet?
Measure from the heel to the tip of the longest toe while they are standing, and ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front for growth.
Are these good for the playground?
Yes, they are designed with a stable, grippy outsole specifically for active toddler play on standard playground surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding the foot in
Ensure the heel pull-tab is fully extended and that the toddler is not wearing overly thick socks that bunch up during entry.
Sole collecting debris
Use a dull plastic tool or a soft-bristled brush to gently remove gravel or twigs from the tread patterns on the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Nike Flex Runner 4; simply ensure the size corresponds to the toddler's current foot measurements, allowing for a small amount of growth room in the toe box. Compatibility with various sock thicknesses is good, but thick winter socks may require a slightly looser fit. For care, it is recommended to spot clean the exterior with a mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives and elastic materials used in the construction. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to maintain the shape of the foam midsole.
