Product Information
Full details
The Nike Flex Runner 3 is designed for active kids who need a versatile shoe that transitions seamlessly from recess to spontaneous games. Featuring an easy-on, easy-off bootie construction and a durable, grippy outsole, it is a perfect choice for parents prioritizing both comfort and speed in the morning routine; however, the slip-on design may not offer the same level of lockdown as traditional lace-up trainers for children with particularly narrow heels.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash these shoes to preserve the integrity of the leather and the foam sole.
Can these be worn for competitive sports?
While excellent for recreational play and recess, they are primarily trainers rather than specialized performance gear for specific sports like soccer.
Do they provide good arch support?
They feature a cushioned midsole that provides standard support suitable for everyday wear and general childhood activities.
How do I know the correct size?
You should measure your child's foot length and compare it against the Nike size guide, ensuring there is a small amount of wiggle room for toes.
Are the materials breathable?
Yes, the bootie construction is designed to be lightweight and breathable for all-day comfort.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too loose on the foot
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate thickness socks to help fill out the interior volume of the bootie.
Dirt stuck in the outsole grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the traction patterns.
Material showing surface scuffs
Clean the area with a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth to buff out superficial markings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for the Nike Flex Runner 3; simply slide the foot into the bootie and ensure the heel is secure. For care, wipe down the leather overlays with a damp cloth to remove dirt and surface mud. If the shoes become heavily soiled, hand wash them in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from stiffening. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and the structural integrity of the upper.
