FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the flexible materials.
Do I need to tie these shoes?
No, the Flex Runner 2 is a slip-on design and does not feature traditional laces.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The flexible material offers some stretch, but it is recommended to have the child try them on to ensure the midfoot area does not feel too tight.
Can these be used for competitive sports?
While great for general play and P.E. class, they may not offer the lateral stability required for high-intensity competitive sports like soccer or basketball.
What is the best way to keep the white fabric clean?
Spot clean with a mixture of mild detergent and water as soon as you notice dirt or stains to prevent them from setting.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding the foot into the shoe
Ensure the heel tab is pulled fully back while the child pushes their foot forward to clear the elastic opening.
Foot slipping inside the shoe during activity
Check that the shoe size is correct; if the child has very narrow feet, consider using a thin athletic insole to improve the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since the Nike Flex Runner 2 is a slip-on design, no setup is required beyond ensuring the correct fit for your child's foot size. To maintain the appearance of the white trainers, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush after muddy play sessions. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water or using harsh industrial detergents, as this can degrade the specialized foams and fabrics. When storing, keep them in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from warping.
