FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

While comfortable for everyday training, the Nike Free RN Flyknit 2018 is designed for a natural feel and may not offer sufficient cushioning or support for the demands of marathon running for all individuals. They are better suited for shorter to medium distances or speed work.

How do I clean the Flyknit upper?

You can spot clean the Flyknit upper with a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or high heat drying.

What is the main benefit of the Free RN sole?

The Free RN sole is designed with deep flex grooves to mimic the natural motion of your foot, providing flexible cushioning and a more grounded, barefoot-like feel.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The Nike Free RN Flyknit 2018 offers a natural, adaptive fit. Arch support is minimal, focusing on allowing the foot to move naturally. Runners who require significant arch support may need to consider insoles or a different shoe model.

How durable are the soles?

The Free RN soles are made from durable rubber compounds, but their flexibility and shallower tread pattern mean they may wear faster than more robust outsoles, especially on abrasive surfaces or with high mileage.

Can I wear these shoes for walking?

Yes, the comfort and flexibility of the Nike Free RN Flyknit 2018 make them excellent for walking and general daily wear.

Is the Flyknit material waterproof?

No, the Flyknit material is highly breathable and not waterproof. It will allow water to penetrate in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or restrictive

Loosen the laces and re-lace, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight. The Flyknit material will naturally stretch slightly with wear to conform to your foot.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The Free RN sole is designed for flexibility and natural motion, which may result in less grip than heavily treaded shoes on very wet or smooth surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Lack of cushioning for long runs

These shoes are designed for a natural feel. If more cushioning is needed for longer distances, consider using them for shorter runs or speed work, and opt for a shoe with more midsole foam for marathon training.

Flyknit material snagged or torn

Minor snags can sometimes be carefully trimmed with small scissors, but significant tears may compromise the shoe's integrity. Avoid contact with sharp objects.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning:
