FAQs

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your foot length from the heel to the tip of your longest toe. Compare this measurement to the Nike sizing chart provided by the retailer or on the Nike website for the most accurate fit.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While comfortable, the minimalist cushioning might not offer sufficient protection and support for the demands of marathon distances for all runners. They are generally better suited for shorter to mid-distance runs.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday activities?

Yes, the Nike Free RN 2018 trainers are very comfortable and versatile, making them suitable for casual wear and everyday activities in addition to running.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or cloth with a little soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

What is the main advantage of the Free RN design?

The main advantage is the enhanced flexibility and natural feel, promoting a more barefoot-like running experience. This allows the foot to move more naturally and intuitively.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The Nike Free RN 2018 has a neutral support structure. It does not feature significant built-in arch support. Runners who need specific arch support may need to add their own insoles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size by measuring your foot. Adjust the lacing system to find a more comfortable fit. Allow for a break-in period of a few runs.

Reduced flexibility over time

Clean the outsole grooves to remove any debris that may be restricting movement. Ensure the shoes are not being exposed to excessive heat or harsh chemicals.

Lack of cushioning on impact

Consider using aftermarket insoles designed for added cushioning if you are running longer distances or on harder surfaces. Remember, these shoes are designed for a more natural feel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional flexibility for a natural running experience.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool during runs.
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue.
  • Offers a close-to-the-ground feel for improved proprioception.
  • Versatile for various types of runs and training.

Cons

  • May require an adjustment period for those used to highly cushioned shoes.
  • Less impact protection on hard surfaces compared to heavily padded trainers.
  • Minimalist design might not provide enough support for all foot types.
  • Durability of the ultra-flexible outsole may vary with intense use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness. It is recommended to measure your foot length to ensure the correct size. Compare your foot measurement to the Nike sizing chart for the best fit.

Compatibility:

  • Foot Type: Best suited for neutral runners or those with a natural gait. Individuals requiring significant arch support or pronation control may need additional insoles or a different shoe model.
  • Running Surfaces: Ideal for roads, treadmills, and well-maintained trails. Less suitable for extremely rugged terrain.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a dryer.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
