FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While comfortable, the Nike Free RN Flyknit 2018 offers minimal cushioning. They are best suited for shorter runs, tempo workouts, or recovery runs. For marathons, runners typically prefer shoes with more substantial cushioning and support.
How do I know if the Nike Free RN Flyknit 2018 is the right fit for me?
This shoe is ideal for runners who enjoy a natural, barefoot-like feel and prioritize flexibility and agility. If you prefer significant cushioning or arch support, this model might not be the best choice.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Nike Free RN Flyknit 2018. Hand washing with mild soap and cool water, followed by air drying, is the best method for cleaning.
How durable is the Nike Free sole?
The Nike Free sole is designed for flexibility and durability under normal running conditions. However, prolonged exposure to harsh terrain or improper care can affect its longevity.
What is the main difference between Nike Free RN and traditional running shoes?
Nike Free RN shoes are designed to mimic barefoot running with a highly flexible sole and minimal structure, promoting natural foot movement. Traditional running shoes typically offer more cushioning, stability, and support.
How does the Flyknit upper differ from mesh uppers?
Flyknit is a precision-engineered yarn construction that offers a lightweight, breathable, and supportive fit that feels like a second skin. Mesh uppers are typically more traditional and can offer different levels of breathability and structure.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. The Flyknit upper is designed to adapt, so slight adjustments can make a significant difference.
Uneven wear on the sole
Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (road running, training) and not for activities that cause excessive or uneven stress. Check your running gait for potential issues.
Discomfort during longer runs
The Free RN Flyknit 2018 offers minimal cushioning. Consider using them for shorter runs or workouts, and if prolonged comfort is needed for longer distances, a more cushioned shoe might be a better alternative.
Flyknit material snagged or pulled
Be cautious of sharp objects that can snag the Flyknit upper. Small snags may not affect performance, but larger ones can compromise the shoe's integrity. Avoid rough surfaces where possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are running shoes, so no specific setup is required beyond ensuring the correct fit. Slip them on and lace them up to your preferred tightness.
Compatibility: The Nike Free RN Flyknit 2018 is designed for road running, track workouts, and general fitness activities. They are compatible with various athletic apparel. They are not designed for trail running or extremely rugged terrain due to their flexible sole.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap with cool water and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the Flyknit material and cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
