I’m a regular Nike wearer so I know to order them a 1/2 to 1 size larger than my actual size. I bought these 1 size larger and they are a perfect fit. Unmatched breathability and extremely lightweight. These are my go to shoes for comfort and everyday activities.

I love these shoes! They feel like protected bare feet which is just what my feet want. If you like arch support you probably don't want this style. If you like the free feet feel, you'll love them. I have two pair, one grey and one blue.

I haven't worn Nike shoes in years (something about their arch placement always felt wrong), but I wanted to support them in their new campaign and I needed a new pair of trainers so I bought these. They are amazing! Very lightweight, breathable and comfortable right out of the box. I wear a 6.5 in sandals and a 7 in closed-toe shoes. With these I ordered a 7.5 and they fit perfectly! They are also low-profile and very stylish. I'm eyeing them in other colors.

I have worn these for a week and a half now and I can definitely say these are comfortable and stylish tennis shoes! Their also light, airy in addition. Do size up a half size. I normally wear a size 9 but I got these in a 9.5 and they feel perfect.

Wore the Nike RN Flyknit three times now on 4 mile walks. Very light shoe and I love that it does not have a true tongue. So it can't slide to one side while I'm walking, which happens with other sneakers. I wear a 9 or 9/12 depending on the shoe/sneaker make. With the Nike I had to get a 10 1/2 so it is cut very small. Got the black/white (looks grey) and tried getting it in black but it's already sold out. So just ordered a second pair in grey. Wish it came in red/black like it does in mens. Oh well.

Needed a new pair of sneaks and wanted to show support for Nike. Ordered 1/2 size larger than usual. Comfortable right out of box and have worn all say several times without discomfort. One drawback - shoelaces don't stay tied.

I buy any shoes in size 7 with the only exception of Reabok Crossfit Nano in 7.5. I had to order 8.5 for this pair. This feels great for my feet, fitting to the skin and lightweight. It does not have much cushion which is what I wanted. I like the color choices better in men's.

Fit was fine at 1/2 larger than I normally wear. Very cute styling and color. Problem for me was that the mesh stuck into my ankle feeling like a thorn. Could not wear them. Sad.

Looks like I’m the only one that hated this shoe. It’s my third pair of Flyknits with each generation getting worse. I absolutely loved my first pair. I still use them to walk in. This latest pair was the worst. I should have returned them right away but I thought they would get better. These were too small (all other Nike shoes have been a comfortable 7.5) and messed up my toes. The back dug into my ankle. I’m not a heavy runner either. I barely do 5 miles twice a week on a treadmill. I just recently donated them still looking brand new. I seriously wish I could find the older version that I first bought. Quite a bummer at $120.

They are initially extremely light and comfortable, HOWEVER, if you are walking / running outside little stones get stuck in the sole, which then makes them extremely uncomfortable. Also - and this is the worst part - they do not last. The sole fell apart in less than 3 months. I walked (no running) under 3 miles per/day wearing these, while most of it was on a treadmill. I'm 130lbs...so I didn't put any unusual weight on them either. Bummer...with a more durable sole and a design that doesn't allow stones to get stuck, these would be amazing.

Everyone says to size up 1/2 size and I did. I wear an 8.5 and ordered a 9 and it was way too big. I exchanged for an 8.5 and it is perfect. These are super comfortable right out of the box. I do believe they will stretch out a bit so this may help with others not knowing whether to size up or not. My true size is a perfect fit.

I have always bought the Free Runs and I do not like the new 2018 ones as they are higher on the ankle. I returned them to try these Flyknits. They are so comfortable and look much better on than the Free Runs, in my opinion. I like to wear this type of shoe when traveling and they are amazing. I am a little confused as to why everyone says to size up. I never sized up with the Free Runs. I am an 8.5 and have always bought 8.5's in Nike. They always fit true to size. Now with the Flyknits everyone says size up 1/2-1 size so I bought the 9's and they are too big! Anyway, going to try the 8.5's and see what I think. Bottom line, these are fantastic!

This is my second pair of Nike RN Flyknit running shoes. My last ones were just as comfortable and stylish enough to wear while traveling as well. The soles only lasted a year, a shorter time than previous running shoes, but they are so lightweight, supportive and cushy that I am okay with one year of endurance. I always size up from 8.5 to 9 in my Nike running shoes and they fit perfectly.

I love these shoes. I was worried that they wouldn't provide enough support, but they are so nice. They are very lightweight and I'm able to wear them all day and not have sore feet at the end of the day.

I have the 2014 version of this shoe in a size 10. I ordered size ten to replace and no way will that work. Compared the insoles and it’s nearly ½” smaller

Great pair of casual Nike sneakers. I bought these to wear with leggings or workout gear after leaving the gym (I work out in Nike Metcon), they look cute and are super comfortable. Fit exactly like other Nike sneakers I own. I usually wear a 9 in regular shoes and always size up to 9.5 in Nikes. The fabric is extremely breathable and has very cute gradient coloring. The footbed has great cushioning and the shoe itself forms to your foot. I could wear these shoes all day!

I wear Nike regularly, most of my running / cross training sneakers are Nike. While I LOVED the older flyknits, I needed to retire them and these are a good substitute. They provide a mild arch support - so if you need more support while I'd recommend a different shoe. I am a size 6 in Asics, but 5.5 in Nike, and the 5.5 fit well with a regular running sock. They are great for running or bootcamp classes.

Super light weight, comfortable, lots of room in toe area, snug around the heel. I'm not a runner but like the free runs for gym or jeans. They worked out on a light hike/climb too when I forgot my hiking sneakers..did have to pick a few rocks out of the bottom.

These definitely run small even for Nike. I wear a 7.5 in shoes but have always worn a size 8 in Nike. But the 8.5 felt so much better. Once I got the right size, I realized how comfortable they are and lightweight too.

Oh my, when I put these on, out of the box,I was immediately pain free. I had been having Achilles’ tendon problems for the past 7 months. Now I know it was due to my wearing soft, low back shoes. These 9W have give in them,but still have good support for me, and I love them.

Finally found the perfect shoe. I have been having Achilles tendinitis for 6 months. Put this shoe on and immediately could walk into my kitchen with no pain. But I am having trouble reordering this shoe in 9W in other colors.

One thing to note on these shoes is that they are slightly see through... so if you order the orange shoes, you'll be able to see black socks or green socks through them. They were right on size wise and I wanted to keep them... but Zappos didn't have a 10.5 in stock (my normal Nike size). I felt like goldilocks, the 10 was too small and the 11 was too big... hoping that I can find the right one because I want that shoe!
I'd also recommend:
