Overall - This is a great shoe that balances comfort, ease of use (for a toddler), functionality and looks. Comfort - the midsole is soft and the soles have a these grooves that allow my toddlers foot to move naturally, comfortably and with great grip. Ease of use - Easily the top feature. It is so easy for my toddler to put on himself. The elastic that goes around the top of the foot helps keep the shoe secure and in place, even with the most active kid. Note that the first time my toddler put these on, he thought they were tight. But after one wear, they loosened up perfectly and he talks about how comfortable they really are.

What's New
You spoke and we listened. For the Flex Runner 4, we updated the fit of the midfoot strap and the collar to help make these easy for kids to slip on and comfortable enough to wear all day.
Pull on and Go
Pull tabs on the heel and tongue work with a stretchy inner sleeve to help make these shoes easy for kids to put on themselves. Elastic straps run behind the heel and across the top of the foot to provide a snug, secure feel.
Play Anywhere
Flex grooves in the outsole add flexibility, helping every step feel natural. Multisurface traction works with sturdy foam that wraps around the heel to provide grip and stability when kids shift directions.
Durable Comfort and Support
We reinforced the toe box and used durable materials throughout to help these kicks stand up to how kids play. Soft, springy foam in the midsole helps cushion their every step.

#teamnikeNike Flex Runner 4s, Great Buy!
Nike Flex Runner 4s - Aug 05, 2025
After spending time with the Nike Flex Runner 4s for kids, we can highly recommend this pair! First, the feel is amazing - even after a full day of high activity. It's true to size and feels great. Even without having the option of laces, the shoe stays on tight and hugs your feet as it should. It also allows for easy on and off access, which is great for kids as they tend to rush out the door. The fabric has been great, would just avoid wearing in heavy rain or mud as the material could soak through your socks. We did find it easy to wipe off and clean, which was a pleasant surprise. Being part of the Nike Performance collection, we found that the Flex Runners were perfect for all kinds of sports and practices. The shoes were light on the feet which helped with overall speed and grip when running. If I had to rate this pair, it would be a 10 out of 10. Go buy it!

Ordered for my grandson for school. He is currently in a size 12c so I ordered a 13c so he could grow into them. He could not even get his foot in the shoe. Way too small. He loved the look just didn’t fit. Size up!!
