FAQs
What age group are these trainers designed for?
These Nike Air Max 270 trainers are specifically designed for infants, typically for children aged 0-12 months (size UK 4). They are ideal for early walkers and pre-walkers.
How do I ensure I choose the correct size for my infant?
It's crucial to measure your infant's foot accurately. Use a foot sizer or measure their foot from heel to longest toe. Compare this measurement to Nike's official infant size chart. Remember to allow a small amount of growing room.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers. It can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for best results.
Are the elastic laces adjustable?
The elastic laces are designed for convenience and ease of use. While not traditionally adjustable like tie-up laces, their elastic nature allows them to stretch and conform to your infant's foot, providing a snug yet comfortable fit.
Are these suitable for outdoor play?
Yes, they are suitable for light outdoor play and daily wear on dry surfaces, thanks to their durable rubber tread and supportive cushioning. However, they are not designed for heavy-duty outdoor activities or extremely wet conditions.
What is Max Air cushioning?
Max Air cushioning is a Nike technology that incorporates large, visible air units in the sole of the shoe. For infants, this provides lightweight, responsive cushioning that helps absorb impact and offers comfort for their developing feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes seem too tight or loose.
Re-measure your infant's foot and consult the Nike size chart. Infant feet grow quickly, so regular checks are recommended. Ensure socks are not too thick or thin for the fit.
My infant struggles to keep the shoes on.
Verify the shoes are the correct size. While elastic laces provide an easy on/off, they should still offer a snug fit. If they are slipping off, the size might be too large.
The mesh upper looks dirty quickly.
Due to the airy mesh material, occasional spot cleaning is normal. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the affected areas. Regular, gentle cleaning helps maintain their appearance.
My infant's feet feel hot/sweaty in the shoes.
While the mesh upper is breathable, ensure your infant is wearing appropriate socks for the weather. Opt for breathable cotton or moisture-wicking infant socks. If the issue persists, check the fit as overly tight shoes can reduce airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Measure Foot Size: Before first use, accurately measure your infant's foot length. Use a children's shoe sizer or trace their foot on paper and measure the longest point. Compare this to Nike's infant size chart to ensure the correct fit. A small amount of wiggle room (about half an inch) at the toe is ideal.
- Putting On: Gently open the shoe by pulling back the tongue and expanding the elastic laces. Slide your infant's foot in, ensuring the heel is seated comfortably against the back of the shoe. The elastic laces will naturally conform to their foot.
- Check Fit: After putting them on, gently press down on the toe area to ensure there's a small gap between their longest toe and the shoe's end. Check around the ankle and top of the foot to ensure it's snug but not too tight.
Compatibility
These trainers are specifically designed for infants (typically 0-12 months), making them ideal for pre-walkers and early walkers. They are compatible with a wide range of casual infant clothing and suitable for everyday use in various non-extreme environments.
Care
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used on the rubber sole and mesh upper with a gentle cleaning solution. Rinse with a damp cloth.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the shoe's structure, cushioning, and colours.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity.
