I always purchase Nike Free Run -- I have 6 pairs but this new style feels too small in comparison to the other pairs I have. But I still love them.

Light as a feather, soft as air! They allow me to supinate as much as my feet and hips desire! Very close to running barefoot. I sized up one whole size from my regular shoes and they are perfect w/ socks. This color rocks, too! Without the hard rubber base, I can only hope they have a long life because they work so well for me.

These remind me of the Free's they had a few years ago that were so awesome. I didn't care much for the variations that came after; they weren't as good. Was so disappointed since I wore them for years and they were so comfy. These are just like the old ones just slightly more fashionable. So happy I bought them!

I did a lot of research before buying these. I needed a very flexible lightweight shoe for a fitness class I am teaching. I tried on many different pairs of "barefoot" style running shoes and this was the perfect pair. So comfy. I wear without socks. Breathable. Ridiculously comfortable. The heal is so flexible. I never get blisters even though I workout a lot in these. They look great. I am so happy with this purchase. This was a lot for me to pay for athletic shoes but I have never regretted it.

Finally! Ever since getting a Nike Run 3.0 I've been in love. Except that most of the ones since then had the tongue sewn in making them really hard to put on and uncomfortable for me. Now the newest 5.0's are perfect once again...even lighter and cuter than before. Thanks, Zappos, you are the best!

I love the look of these shoes on my feet. I also love how light-weight they are. I wear them to walk to work, and they are very easy to throw in my bag. They seem to run a bit narrower than every other Nike that I've had (I'm a runner, and I only wear Nikes), but I am pregnant, so that might have something to do with it.

I am 37 years old and I have worn size 13 in pretty much every branch since I was 14 years old. This was the first time I had to return a size 13 and get a size 14. They are quite comfortable. It feels like I'm wearing moccasins. My second pair came with a big stain on one of the shoes, but I didn't want to have to return it again.

These sneakers are very comfortable, and I have ouchy feet or so called plantar fasciitis, or whatever, so I've had to rethink my shoes. These are great for walks on the rail trail, running errands or a bike ride. I would not use on concrete day after day. But this is from a sensitive foot person. I don't run, but have heard they are great. I think they maybe helping to strengthen my feet with the 'barefoot technology'. I don't give it 5 stars because it runs a full size smaller than usual. What's up with that Nike?

This running shoe is very comfortable...but no support whatsoever. I do love the cheerful color and wear it just for walking, not power walking or running, as my feet would feel fatigued very quickly.

It’s the only shoe I will run in. I have a problem with my heals but with this shoe no problems...and I don’t have to wear sock.

Sonlight but they will wear out quickly. That is the trade off. Excellent shoe but buy two if you run much they will last about 6 mo

I hate that they discontinued these. I got the black ones and they are like walking on clouds. I have been wearing them on my runs and even just running errands or at work sometimes. Super comfy and stylish.

Obsessed with these shoes, it's like walking on a cloud. I do not work out in them so I don't know if they would have enough support, but this is a wonderful shoe for just walking around. I get so many compliments on the bright blue color too. Will get another pair soon.

I had the hardest time finding comfortable shoes until Nike Free came along. I have such sensitive feet but these shoes fit beautifully right out of the box without any need for breaking in. They don't have a thick cushiony sole like some of the other styles/brands but I prefer to feel grounded, so the "barefoot" feel along with the comfortable upper is a perfect combo. Oh, and they are stylish to boot. I accidentally ordered the "Flash" waterproof version and swiftly returned them. The waterproof liner isn't as comfortable as the knit material and made a clicking noise with each step.

I hardly ever wear any shoes other than round-toed boots because I need a wide toe box but my entire foot is not wide (if that makes any sense - my big toes stick out) and I can never find sneakers that fit comfortably. I have been wearing these daily for two weeks and they are great, very comfortable, I guess because of the ergonomic shape and also because they are so flexible. When I first got them I was a little annoyed by the way the toe flips up but have gotten used to that and think they are about as cute as a boring running shoe can be. I got the black and they look pretty classic/stylish on. They are very thin and the soles are too, but feel soft and comfortable on tile floors. I am not sure they would be great for being on your feet all day etc, since they are not incredibly padded and also do not have much arch support. I have not worn Nikes before and needed a half size larger than I wear in most other brands.

Just like all of my other Nike sneakers, these are perfect. They are lightweight with good support and ample toe room. These are especially nice because the lacing is a little off center which gives them a unique, stylish look. I am not a runner - I walk miles and miles.
