FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to hand clean them with a damp cloth to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and elastic components.
Can children with high arches wear these?
The elastic straps are designed to stretch, but those with very high arches may find the fit initially snug before the material breaks in.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally integrated into the shoe construction for better stability and are not intended to be removed.
Do these run true to size?
Most users find the Flex Runner 4 series fits true to size, though the slip-on design offers a more compressed feel than lace-up models.
Are these suitable for school sports?
They are perfect for general play and physical education classes, but may not offer the specific support needed for high-impact sports like basketball or soccer.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top of the foot
Ensure the elastic straps are not twisted or caught; if the fit remains restrictive, consider sizing up as these run narrow by design.
Visible dirt accumulation on the uppers
Gently spot clean using a mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid putting them in a clothes dryer as the high heat can warp the rubber components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Flex Runner 4 trainers, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Fitting: Ensure the elastic straps are pulled evenly over the bridge of the foot to avoid pressure points.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsoles. For the uppers, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents that may damage the textile fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the elastic from losing its elasticity.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed as standard casual athletic shoes and are compatible with most daily activewear outfits for kids.
