FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the adhesive and materials.
Are the Nike Free Ride trainers unisex?
Yes, this series is designed as unisex footwear suitable for all children.
What is the primary material used?
The trainers use high-quality, lightweight synthetic materials designed for flexibility and durability.
Do these provide good arch support?
They are designed to mimic natural foot movement, which relies on the foot's own strength, rather than aggressive arch support.
Can these be worn for school?
The sleek design and comfort make them a popular choice for school-aged children, provided they meet specific school uniform colour requirements.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
Measure your child's foot standing up and refer to the standard UK children's size chart, leaving a small amount of room for growth.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight after a few weeks
Children's feet grow quickly; it is recommended to check the fit every two to three months and move up a size if the toe box is restricted.
Build-up of dirt in the flexible grooves of the sole
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge pebbles or mud from the tread patterns to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Free Ride trainers maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth after outdoor use.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature; avoid placing shoes near direct heat sources or radiators as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizes for children; ensure you measure the child's foot with socks on to guarantee the correct fit, as the Free Ride design is intended to fit snugly.
