FAQs
Are these shoes good for running marathons?
The Nike Flex Train trainers are primarily designed for training and gym activities. While they can handle short sprints, they do not offer the specific cushioning and support required for long-distance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A properly fitting shoe should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not slip when you walk or move.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and structure. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the primary advantage of the Flex Train series?
The primary advantage is their enhanced flexibility, allowing for a natural range of motion during various training exercises, coupled with lightweight comfort.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you have significantly wide feet, you may find them constricting. It's best to try them on if possible.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Keeping them in a shoe bag or using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure the tongue is properly positioned. If the tightness persists, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in with shorter wear times.
Slipping during lateral movements
Ensure the shoes are securely laced. Check if the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the terrain might be unsuitable, or a shoe with more lateral support may be needed.
Feet feel damp after a workout
The breathable mesh is designed for airflow, but intense workouts can still lead to sweat. Ensure proper ventilation after use and consider moisture-wicking socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Nike Flex Train trainers are designed for general athletic training, gym workouts, and cross-training. They are suitable for indoor use and most dry outdoor training surfaces. They are not specifically recommended for trail running or very wet conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and dust from the upper and sole. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap with water and a soft cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.
