Customer Reviews Nike Flex Experience RN 8

I love how the shoe hugs your foot. They're super-lightweight, too. I had to get a half-size larger than I normally wear. It's great to find a medium width shoe that's snug enough for my very narrow foot.

The material on the bottom of the shoe is very cheap -- the kind where you'd slide all over the floor. Not at all what one expects from Nike.

The pros: the shoe is light weight and the sole is comfortable for walkings Cons: the fit on the top part of the foot is all wrong. The tongue pinches or is otherwise uncomfortable on the top of the foot and the toe box 'catches' the toes. I have been wearing Nike running shoes for years and this is the first pair I have been disappointed with the comfort of the fit.

I really like the looks of these shoes but after one afternoon of use my ankles are sore. So definitely not good support.

I’m a 4.5 wide so it’s impossible to find shoes that fit. These fit pretty well. They’re cute and comfy. I’d give them five stars if there was more arch support and the soles weren’t so slippery. These will definitely need some scuffing to make sure you don’t fall.

I purchased the Cool Grey/Reflect Silver/Anthracite, and I love the neutral grey color. I read all the reviews and decided to go 1/2 size larger than I normally wear. I typically wear an 8.5 M in all shoes and the occasional 8 M. (A recent pair of Adidas was 8M, but I think Adidas run large.) I ordered the 9M and they fit but were oh so slightly long. I could have kept them, but decided to try the 8.5 M. Bingo! The 8.5 M fit perfectly. The right shoe is more snug than the left, but that's a personal problem I have with all shoes. If you have a moderately wide or a wide foot, I suggest ordering a wide width or up 1/2 size.

I have found that my nikes all run a half size small. It’s true for this shoe too. Order up! Other than that, it’s a very soft comfortable shoe. I’m using them to walk many miles at Disney world.

This shoe is a mixed bag--I had several pair of the Flex Experience shoes in years past and liked the mesh upper. The old version ran true to size for me and made a great workout shoe for a number of years. By contrast, the fabric upper on this newer model is flat and tight--I went up 1/2 a size for proper fit. They actually look kind of big for me, but I kept them as the price was right and I dread an exhaustive workout shoe search. These shoes are light and hug your feet comfortably, though I think the arch support is somewhere between non-existent and slight.

They are true to size. I love the light and airy feeling when wearing them. While the neutral toned color is versatile and pretty, the shoes do make my feet look wider than the other pair I bought (ON). Overall very comfortable when put on, but I took one star off because the tongue is too wide and I had to manually adjust it after I tie my shoelaces.

Received these yesterday in Bordeaux/Burgundy and they are gorgeous! They also fit beautifully and are very lightweight. Wore them for a full 8 hour shift on my feet and they are very comfortable. I think I might have to get another pair or two in different colors.

More of a running shoes than I expected but still able to be worn with a normal outfit, great color!

So disappointed in Nike lately. These shoes are good looking and really lightweight. But the toebox is funky. There is this 1/4 inch piece of rubber across the front of the toebox and then mesh material for the top of the shoe. The big toe hits this rubber and it is not comfortable.

These looked and felt great. They were worn once for a basketball game and the toe area looks bumpy. You can feel that area—almost feels like cardboard.

I am extremely happy with this purchase. Note that my feet are somewhat narrow so the fit was perfect for me.

Lightweight, flexible, and comfortable. Nice looking shoe with good support. Actually make my feet look smaller than they are! Wear them for running with no issues and I'm a bigger gal...

Like everyone else,I had to go up a half size. I have been a 7 in Nike's for 15 years and in this shoe I am a 7.5. SO glad I read the reviews!

I bought two pairs because I couldn’t decide between the gray/pink and the gray/black pair. I bought them because they were cute, not to run. For cute they are true to size. If you are going to run in them order a half size bigger because they will be too small. They are very comfortable!

Very light weight and comfortable. Feels just slightly smaller than Nike’s usually fit, so if you’re on the verge of two sizes, size up. These are stylish and look great! I am very happy with them.

I have the older version of these shoes in a 7.5 but ordered an 8 after reading the reviews. My toes go right up to the edge of the shoe so sizing up was definitely necessary. These shoes are very lightweight and comfortable.

My wife put them on, walked around for a few minutes , took them off and put them back in the box. The back juts out and feels awkard. She felt like they constantly had to pull up the back.

I've always bought Nike's, but these were the cheapest quality ones I've had yet. I like the style, but the quality has gone downhill. When I ran in them, there was no arch support or much support of the shoe. They felt like they would fall apart in less than a few months. The top of the shoe was a nice stretchy fabric but does not support your foot and you slip and slide everywhere. I am not going to be purchasing a Nike shoe for awhile.

There was no heel support in these shoes at all. I tried wearing them for working out but there is no grip or support in the soles. I love the color, hate the style. Since it’s a soft material all around the heel fell down quickly and it caused my socks to slide. Wish i would have tried them on when i got them ?

I love these sneakers. On to my third pair, want to be sure I have them on hand in case they are discontinued. Fit about 1/2 to 1 size too small so size up- but typical for Nike, I think. I walk and jog outdoors between 7-10 miles a day and these hold up very well. I also really like the all black as they show no dirt or scuffs.

I purchased these after being thrilled with the version of this shoe in the 2015 edition. I actually had two pairs of those. I am typically a pretty consistent size 7.5. Just as if the previous version I needed to go up a full size to get a fit that works for me. So, I purchased size 8.5. Worked perfectly. I feel like the new version is a little roomier in the area above the toes. Still a great fit with my very narrow back of foot/ankle area. I am using these almost exclusively for walking. I walk three times a week for about an hour briskly. Very happy with the shoes.

I'm between a 10.5-11, and I love these shoes. It's hard to find shoes for long feet that don't have a lot of extra room on top between the top of my feet and the laces--these are great if you have similar sizing needs. I need to use a custom insole and mine worked great with these shoes. I love how light and flexible they are.
