FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The NB FLASH features a standard structured design; while the lace-up system allows for adjustment, those with very wide feet may prefer trying a half-size larger or a dedicated wide-fit model.

Are these machine washable?

We recommend hand cleaning only with a damp cloth and mild detergent to maintain the shoe's structure and material integrity.

Does this model come in other colors?

Yes, the NB FLASH series is available in various colorways, including combinations like Black/White, though availability depends on the specific retailer.

Are these trainers water-resistant?

They are designed for standard daily wear and are not classified as waterproof or water-resistant.

How do I know if the size is correct for my child?

There should be roughly a thumb-width of space between the longest toe and the end of the toe box to allow for natural growth and movement.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly coming untied

Teach the child a double-knot method or replace the laces with non-slip athletic laces.

Foot feeling tight or compressed

Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to provide more room across the bridge of the foot.

Surface scuffs on the black exterior

Use a specialized black shoe polish or a dedicated sneaker eraser to blend in minor cosmetic scuffs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure lace-up fit prevents slipping
  • Versatile black colorway matches most outfits
  • Structured design provides good arch and foot support
  • Lightweight build suitable for all-day wear
  • Defined toe box accommodates natural foot shape

Cons

  • Lace-up fastening may be difficult for very young children
  • Not specifically engineered for high-intensity sports
  • Limited color options in the core series

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the laces are loosened entirely before inserting the foot, then tighten them from the bottom up to ensure an even distribution of tension across the midfoot. For ongoing care, clean the exterior with a soft brush to remove loose dirt and use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the structural materials. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
