Customer Reviews Nike Initiator

I love my new shoes. The mango color is quite unique and fashionable. I've received many compliments. Thanks for super service and lightening speed shipment.

I love these shoes. I've been looking for a pair of turquoise shoes for a while, and these are just perfect. They seem a tad shorter than I expected, and the ball of my left foot gets sore after walking over 3 miles, so I put a gel pad in the shoe and works fine now.

Excellent shoe for me, the underpronator, I've gotten another pair now and I plan to keep buying them when they wear out because they completely solve my knee issue which was partially caused by my foot rolling outward. I got them initially because I was going to NY and I planned on walking around a lot and was really worried about my knee acting up, but I was a walking superhero and the shoes were brilliant. Nike's always are a half size too small to me, so I just always get a half size larger than usual.

I just purchased these sneakers and I love the way they looked. But I bought the 10W and they felt narrow. I would suggest that you go up half a size. I called Zappos and exchanged them. They provide wonderful service. I will recommend you to friends.

I have always purchased Nike...for the last 30 years but anymore they feel stiff and uncomfortable. Toebox too narrow. Big toes pushed against shoe...would need a half size larger than you normally wear. Sending back for a different brand.

Comfy sneakers for the gym. Feet don't sweat, and great traction when running. I normally wear a size 8 1/2 but after reading other reviews decided to go up with a size 9.

This was my first time irdering from Zappos. I like the fact that Zappos had the shoes I wanted and not out of stock like other stores. The packaging was done with extra precaution. The biggest down side was the delivery time which took longer than expected (weeks). I wa Ted to give the 5 stars but the delivery time really disappointed me.

Wow, these were really hard, not much cushion like I needed. Have a lot of hard surface flooring at home and need support but lots of cushion and these made my feet ache. I'll look at Reeboks a little closer.

I normally wear a size 10W, but ordered a 10 1/2 to compensate for the Med width. They were too small and I am exchanging for a size 11. They seem like a great sneaker for the price and other than being too short, they seemed like they will be comfortable to wear!

Great looking shoe, have had so many compliments. Mostly comfortable, but I find that after a few hours, my feet are aching. I don't think the arch support or cushioning inside the shoe are the best. Overall, not bad, but could be better.

This is my second pair of the Nike Initiators. First pair was comfortable from the start and lasted well over the usual six - seven months with daily walks of about 3 miles. Good value for the price. Kudos to Zappos for their usual fine service - I had these the day after I ordered them.

Great shoe, but even better- GREAT ZAPPOS! Never easier - never better. These folks are the best!

Lovely sneakers, comfortable slightly bigger than I thought but they are fine for running and gym work.

I think they run 1/2 size big. I have a narrow feet and they feel too wide, but the shoe is beautiful!

The color in the picture looks red but they are actually hot pink. Cherry is considered a red color -- not pink. I needed shoes right away though so I'm keeping them.

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.
