Product Information

Full details

The Nike Flex Runner 3 is designed for active kids who need a reliable, comfortable trainer for the playground, recess, and everyday play. Its primary advantage is the easy-to-use, pull-on stretchy bootie construction that saves time for parents and children alike, though parents should note that the slip-on design does not feature adjustable laces, which may lead to a looser fit for those with very narrow feet.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is recommended to hand clean these shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity of the leather and the elasticity of the fabric.

Do these shoes come with laces?

No, the Flex Runner 3 features a slip-on bootie design and does not include functional laces.

Can these be used for wide feet?

The stretchy design is accommodating for many foot shapes, but because there are no laces to loosen, they may be tight for children with very wide feet.

Are they suitable for indoor PE lessons?

Yes, the non-marking, flexible outsole makes them suitable for indoor gym activities and outdoor play.

What material are the overlays made of?

The overlays are made from durable leather to provide extra support and wear-resistance.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the design and colorway are styled to be suitable for both boys and girls.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too tight to put on.

Ensure the heel and tongue pull-tabs are fully utilized to open the stretchy bootie wide before inserting the foot.

The shoe feels loose while running.

Verify the sizing is correct, as this model relies on the snugness of the bootie rather than laces to maintain a secure fit.

Leather overlays are scuffed from play.

Use a leather-safe cleaner or a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt; note that minor scuffing is normal given the durable nature of the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for the Flex Runner 3, avoid machine washing these trainers, as the heat and agitation can degrade the leather and adhesive. If the shoes get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. To maintain the elasticity of the bootie, encourage your child to use the pull tabs at the heel and tongue rather than forcing their heel into the shoe, which can stretch out the fabric over time.
