Product Information
Full details
The Nike Flex Runner 3 is a versatile, slip-on trainer designed for active children who need a reliable shoe for playgrounds, school recess, and casual play. Its primary benefit is the combination of a stretchy bootie design for easy on-and-off application paired with durable leather overlays for long-lasting wear, though parents should note that the slip-on style means it lacks traditional laces for micro-adjusting the fit.

FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to clean these with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, as the leather and adhesive components can be compromised by heavy water saturation.
Can these be worn for organized sports?
These are designed for general play and casual activity. For specialized sports, dedicated performance footwear with secure lacing is recommended.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They feature a cushioned design suitable for general daily activity, though they are not marketed as orthotic or high-arch support footwear.
How do I choose the right size?
We recommend measuring the child's foot length and comparing it to the Nike size chart, ensuring there is a small amount of 'growth room' at the toe.
Are the leather overlays real leather?
The Flex Runner 3 uses high-quality leather overlays strategically placed to enhance the durability of the high-wear areas.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pulling the shoe on
Ensure the heel tab is being used to leverage the shoe onto the foot, and check that no socks are bunching up inside the bootie.
The fit feels too loose
Check if the child is wearing appropriate thickness socks. If the shoe is still too loose, a slightly smaller size may be required as slip-ons depend on a snug fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a slip-on shoe, the Flex Runner 3 requires no initial setup or adjustments. To ensure the longest lifespan, keep these care tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt from the leather overlays using a soft, damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry only; do not place the trainers in a dryer as high heat can damage the elastic bootie material and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
- Sizing: Ensure a thumb-width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for natural foot growth.
