Product Information
Full details
The Nike Free Ride Trainers are designed for active children who need a versatile, lightweight shoe that supports natural movement throughout the day. These trainers feature a flexible sole and a secure, bootie-like construction that makes them ideal for running, playing, and daily wear, though the pull-on style may require a bit of practice for younger children to master independently.

What is the APMA Seal of Acceptance?

How should I clean the exterior?
It is best to spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals and do not submerge in a washing machine.

Do these have traditional laces?
No, they utilize a slip-on bootie-like design with pull tabs for a secure, easy-to-use fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are designed to be part of the shoe's structure, but if they are removed, ensure they are replaced with appropriately sized orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding the foot into the shoe
Ensure the heel and tongue pull tabs are being used simultaneously to widen the entry point for the foot.
Shoe feels too tight over the bridge of the foot
The bootie design is meant to be snug; however, ensure the child is wearing appropriate thickness socks to allow for proper blood circulation.
Outer sole picking up small debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove gravel or twigs from the flex grooves in the outsole to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature a slip-on bootie construction, no complex lacing setup is required. To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of the shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a damp cloth after outdoor use. Avoid machine washing to protect the structural integrity of the flex sole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Fitting: Ensure the pull tabs are fully utilized to slide the foot into the bootie section; do not force the heel to prevent damaging the back collar.
- Rotation: Allow the interior to air out between uses to maintain hygiene and comfort.
