Customer Reviews Nike Legend Essential 2

Zappos/Amazon of course did great with shipping they got here within a few days. I just wanted to reiterate another review I saw that helped with my purchase. Overall it’s not a terrible shoe. But is that really what we’re looking for, a not so terrible shoe? These are categorized as running shoe and there’s no way I would endorse these as running shoes. However, they do the job for weight lifting and HIIT workouts which led me to buy them for that purpose for that purpose. That being said they are ok for what I purchased them for and I hate returning things so I’ll keep them. 1. Definitely size up-I’m normally a 7 and 7.5 in Nike and I got these in an 8 so they fit. BUT style wise because I had to size up I don’t really like the way my feet look in them ( that’s just me). Second photo you can see that the toes show through with just standing. This speaks well for flexibility in that toe are if you’re looking for that but style wise I think it’s a flop. I’ll be using them for home workouts so they serve their purpose. 2. During lifting and jumping the support is fine but while walking it’s like walking with a stud board under your foot. I feel the most pressure in the inside of my foot from the middle of the arch to the toe. 3. They are comfortable around the ankle and pretty light weight considering they’re is a lot of foam in the heal area 4. I did test them walking first to see if I could tolerate them for a mile or two after a workout. With walking alone I couldn’t imagine running in them. First quarter of a mile walking was stiff thereafter to a mile and half on treadmill and my dogs were barking. I know this was long but I hope it can help someone safe a few bucks

Ordered 8.5 but had to return for a 9. Great customer service for exchanging and sending out the new size. Thanks Zappos!

Very cute and comfortable. Runs a full size small . As a lifelong nike fan these ran by far the smallest of any styles I’ve tried . I’m a 9.5 and need the 10.5. Also Zappos describes these as being running shoes and on the Nike website (and every other website) they are listed as training shoes for HIIT workouts, lifting etc . Just thought that was important to point out !

I had read that these shoes tend to run small, so I ordered a size 8 for a friend of mine who is typically a size 7.5. The size 8 shoes fit her perfectly! She said that she definitely could not go smaller, even though she has never worn an 8 before in her life!

Cute sneakers.

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

Very light weight, supportive. And comfortable. True to size.

Bought these for my 15 year old for tennis. We were looking for something with a bit more support for that back and for and quick bursts of speed. She loves these. She wears a 7 and we ordered a 7, perfect fit. She did get a blister on her heel the first day but she absolutely loves these!

Love love this style and comfort super happy with the purchase

They are perfect

Snug fit, but very cute

The fit was perfect. Great style and comfy.

Fits well but could use more cushion support.

Overall love the sneakers. Just a little bit snug. A bit more room would be nice, but a 7 1/2 would most likely be too roomy. Still love them!

This runs very small. My daughter normally wheres a 6-6.5 but had to order a 7.5. Still waiting on this to arrive.

Nikes are jus not made the way they used to be. Kind of disappointed with this purchase considering I ordered these shoes for weight training in the gym and they do not have good support.

Material was too thin on the top of the foot.

I normally wear a 5-1/2 and I saw this runs small so I ordered a 6. Still too small. Order a whole size up on this one.

Pretty disappointed by the shipment quality, they had definitely been worn & returned before I purchased them, they were cover in pet hair and the soles were dirty. I usually always wear a 7.5 in nikes but these ran small and are pretty narrow! They’re more comfortable now that I’ve worn them a few times but if you have wide feet like me, size up!

Purchased for 16 year old. She has high arches and a high instep and these did not provide enough support to be used as active sneakers. She said as fashion sneakers for a few hours a day they might be comfortable, but not for light to moderate physical activity (which is what she needed them for). Very stylish but had to return.

Was good small about half size to a full size small. Had to return.

Runs at least 1 full size small. Look awesome and feel comfortable but you need to order at least 1 size up.

This is a functional shoe. Pretty plain but it serves the purpose.

Nice sneaker but felt too close and as I walked around the house it just wasn't comfortable so probably will return.

Like many Nike shoes, these run 1/2 size small. I was looking for a shoe with a bit more lateral stability but these are so stiff they are uncomfortable. They also hit my ankles in a way that just won't work. Back they go. Still on the search for the right shoe to replace my go to sneakers.
