Customer Reviews Nike Flex Experience RN 8

Like the way the shoes looked. Bought them because I needed comfortable shoes for everyday use and this had many good reviews. After trying them out for a little bit, I noticed that the shoe did not have great support and my heels felt like they were on fire after a short walk. Also got a blister on one of my toes. I would personally not recommend this shoe.

Been wearing these for about a week or two and really happy with them. I use them as my all-day shoe -- walking, going to gym, etc. These are comfortable right out of the box, so there's no break-in period. I was wearing a previous generation of Flex Experience (RN 5) for a while. Main difference from a styling and comfort standpoint is that the upper is a solid material now rather than a mesh material. This definitely reduces the airflow and makes the shoes a little warmer, but for the cooler climate I'm in it makes no difference. The small material that's over the big toe initially bothered me, but I don't even notice it now. I assume it's there to prevent that area from wearing out too quickly, which is something that happened to my RN 5's. It's definitely a wide shoe (as was the RN 5), so your feet won't be cramped. If you're expecting or need arch support this has none, which I tend to prefer. Overall a great shoe, particularly at this price point.

My 12 year old son says they are true to size for Nike and are comfortable. I like the extra toe cover-may stop them from wearing out.

The shoe is much more comfortable than my son expected! Nike and Zappos never disappoint!

My 15 y.o. says these are very lightweight and comfortable. The style is nice and color and size options on Zappos were great in comparison to the store. Price point is good for a quality tennis shoe.

These running shoes feel like slippers on my feet, very comfortable!

I am typically a size 15 4E and have custom-made orthotics which go in my shoes (I also don't remove the soles when I put in the orthotics, because I prefer keeping the padding in the original shoe). I ordered the 15 4E's and quite honestly, they felt like a perfect fit -- better than I am used to. That being said, I think I can agree with some reviews here saying it's can be a bit snug/small. The toe box was perfect for me, which is a place I usually have trouble. I mainly use these indoors and for walks outdoors (when it isn't raining). I also love how these shoes look as it can be hard to find something stylish in 15 4E. My one complaint is the bottom outer sole feels a bit thin/weak and I am curious how long it will last. I have a habit of putting increased pressure on the ball of my foot, and wearing a hole through rubber sole eventually, and when I first wore these on the concrete, my foot felt pretty close to the ground. However, this seems to be consistent with most of the Nike's I end up with.

I really like these shoes -- super light and comfortable. My only complaint is that these are the loudest, squeakiest shoes I've ever owned. When I walk through the grocery store, Target, the tile floor in my house, ever step makes a squeak. No sneaking around in these shoes.

I bought these in July for my 13YO son and it’s mid-October and they are DONE. I am willing to blame the user a little, but these shoes should be more durable.

A spur of the moment purchase for some everyday Nikes. These had good reviews and a low price, so I went for it. They are as advertised and pretty nice for a rather inexpensive, lightweight shoe. I use them for walking but I imagine they are good for running too. A nice shoe at 1/2 or less of the cost of higher end Nikes.

I work in a warehouse and theses shoes are super confortable even when walking for 10 hours straight. Excellent part of my work shoe rotation.

I really like the fabric and the feel of these. Nike always seems to fit my foot best. The toebox is a bit narrow and my pinky toe on my right foot feels a little crowded. Also, I ordered a half size up from my usual size and they fit perfect.

My son loves these shoes and as always I love Zappos.

These shoes are super comfortable from the start. They are light weight with soft material. True to size, just like all my past Nikes.

My son loves these shoes. Arrived the next day after ordering. He said they are so comfortable, I now have to order them for my husband.

I bought these for my 15 y.o. son who says they are very lightweight and comfortable. He saw them in the store but the color options were limited. Zappos had a great variety of color options and sizes. The shoe is a good price and quality is nice.

Wider than average Nikes which was perfect for me. Most Nikes tend to be narrow, these fit. Lightweight and comfortable; however, the arch-support is lacking if need that. Overall, a comfortable shoe.

Ordered 4e width, but felt tight width

I tried on a bunch of Nike shoes and these are the ones I decided to keep. They are very light, the soles are soft, and the uppers are soft. The shoes felt a bit small, but that is more likely the height of the toe, rather than the base of the shoe. There only hard part of the upper is the toe reinforcement. This almost caused a problem at first. I was thinking of exercising the runlimited guarantee, but since I broke the shoes in they are fine.

These are a really nice shoe. I purchased them for someone else and we were having a hard time fining the right fit. I ordered these a 1/2 size larger than normal and they fit great. They are light and flexible and look great on.

Good looking shoe that fit as expected. The comfort is not quite what I was looking for, but it is not horrible. Good fit, good looking shoe that fits my budget!

Normally wear an 10.5/11 in dress shoes. Wear 11.5 in most Nike athletic shoes. 12 would have been better fit for me with these.

This show is very comfortable for running and extremely light but don’t plan on wearing it one any tile or hard indoor surfaces. The shoes have these little dimples on the bottom that make it sound like you are walking on a bunch of little suction cups. I ignored it for a while but EVERYONE was commenting on it so I stopped wearing these to the gym and other indoor areas and only use them for outdoor running and they work GREAT.

If not for one thing these shoes would be perfect. When walking on a soling surface, tile, concrete, wood, they squeak loudly and constantly.

Nikes run small.
