Product Information

Full details

The Nike Flex Train is a versatile athletic shoe designed for active women who engage in a mix of gym-based strength training, light sprinting, and general movement. These trainers offer a key benefit of exceptional flexibility and lightweight comfort, making them an ideal choice for transitioning between different types of workouts. One caveat to note is that because they are optimized for agility and lightness, they may provide less heavy-duty arch support compared to dedicated long-distance running shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for long-distance running?

The Nike Flex Train is optimized for gym and circuit training rather than high-mileage road running. It is better suited for short bursts of speed.

Can I use these for heavy weightlifting?

They provide decent support for general strength training, but if you are doing professional powerlifting, a shoe with a flatter, harder sole may be preferred.

How do I determine the right size for me?

The sizes provided are in UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the same size you typically wear in Nike athletic footwear.

Are they machine washable?

No, it is highly recommended to hand wash these shoes to preserve the materials and cushioning technology.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The shoe provides moderate support suitable for the average gym-goer, though it is not marketed as a corrective shoe for high-arch needs.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping inside the shoe

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and consider using a 'runner's loop' at the top eyelet for a more secure heel lock.

Accumulation of odours

Remove the insoles after every workout to allow the interior to breathe and use an odor-neutralizing spray or moisture-absorbing packet.

Material staining

Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash as this may damage the structural integrity of the upper.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Nike Flex Train shoes, keep the following in mind:

  1. Sizing: These shoes are designed for an athletic fit; ensure you choose your standard UK size or check against the specific size guide provided by the retailer.
  2. Surface Usage: While highly effective on indoor gym floors and track surfaces, try to avoid abrasive concrete if possible to extend the life of the outsole tread.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash only using a mild soap and a soft brush. Remove the laces and inner insoles separately.
  4. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources, as high temperatures can warp the synthetic materials and compromise the adhesive.
