Customer Reviews Nike Initiator

These are good looking shoe, but are at least half a size smaller than the size marked. Also, these shoes are much stiffer, less flexible than my other Nikes.

When I received the shoes they were a little small I usually wear a 9.5 which the 10 fits perfect. At first, yes, the shoe was hard but after almost a month they are great. The color does say cherry but it's more like hot pink but hey I love that color. Overall I like the shoe. One day shipping you can't beat either.

These run short. My toes in my usual size hit the front of the shoe, even just standing. I have other Nikes in my usual size that work, so think it may just be this style.

Size 9 seemed to run small. I normally wear a 9 medium in Nike and I returned these for a 9½. It is a cute style, but they are a bit stiff and they do not feel as much like I am walking on clouds as my last pair of Nikes did. I wish they had a bit more of a cushiony feel.

I'm returning these. I need something for vacation. We will be doing a lot of walking thru zoos and pike place market. They immediately squeezed my feet when I put them on. I do not have super wide feet, I can usually order average width - but for Nike I would only get wide from now on. Thankfully Zappos delivers so quickly as I can get a replacement pair before we leave!

If you need arch support, this is not your shoe. It fits well but very uncomfortable even with or without orthotics. Will not purchase this again.

These shoes were much heavier and clunkier than I thought they would be. It feels like walking on planks, with little to no support. My feet actually felt worse after wearing them. They come pretty wide. I have wide feet and they were still a little big on the width. They are not recommended.

Wish I would have read all the reviews. Terribly uncomfortable shoes! My feet hurt for days afterwards. Next time I'm gonna stick with my usual style instead trying a new one.

This is the first pair, in a long line, of Nike shoes purchased that are very uncomfortable. I am wearing them to hope they break in but after two weeks my hopes are fading. The shoe seems much narrower than ever before but the area of TRUE discomfort is the back heel higher cushion area. It still rubs against my heels everyday. Shoe is very attractive but not comfortable at all; will be dropping them off at a donation center next weekend I have a feeling. First Nike disappointment ever!

Huge Nike fan. Was very disappointed with these shoes. Not comfortable, very stiff and quite narrow. Minimal give in the material. Still buying Nike just not this style... I WOULD NOT recommend these for running. Not comfortable shoes.

The insoles of these shoes were incredibly hard. They also had a bump on the outer sides of the insole (to help correct underpronation I'm assuming) which was extremely uncomfortable. It's really too bad, I loved the style of these shoes but I am returning them today.

This is not my favorite pair of Nikes. They are not cushy at all. They have quite hard insoles that hurt my feet. I do not recommend these at all. Avoid them!

I purchased these shoes because of how they looked. If you're looking for a wide shoe made for under-pronators, the selection is rather limited. When I got them I thought they'd be great to wear just around town and maybe even for light work outs. After I received them and tried them on I was very disappointed. They were uncomfortable and offered no arch support. They felt so poor that I couldn't even keep them just to wear to the grocery store or while running other errands. As usual, Zappos amazing customer service was more than accommodating of my request to return and get a better pair of shoes. Overall, these shoes are really cute...but if you have every had a decent pair of sneakers on your feet I can't imagine you'll like these at all.

My feet hurt so bad after only wearing them for one day that I had to soak my feet in hot water and rub my feet so that I could wear other shoes. I have had other Nike sneakers that I loved in the past but because of these shoes, I may never buy Nike sneakers again.

These are horrible running shoes. They do not fit true to size. Very tight in the toe and too loose in the heel. They are at least off by 1/2 a size and do not have the cushion support they claim to have.

Ordered these in wide width. They are way too narrow! Couldn't wear them for more than 30 seconds they were so tight!

This was the wost shoe I ever bought. They caused nothing but blisters every time I wore them, especially on the heels and between every toe. I was in morbid pain, but kept trying them, thinking it was going to adjust. I even tried walking in them for a day and felt almost crippled afterward. Please do yourself a favor and pass on this one.

I was really looking forward to liking this sneaker. I was very disappointed when I tried it on and my foot was squished! I bought an 8 wide and it did not feel wide at all. They are going back and I am off to try another pair.

Okay, I should have listened to the other reviewers! I liked the look of this shoe, but I can tell you that it is awful to wear. I wore them to work and my feet hurt within two hours. I might have dealt with it if I had been wearing heals, but these are running shoes! Very disappointed and they are going back.
