Excellent, breathable and lightweight. Use them for working in a warehouse, so I'm always on the move. Good shoes!

This was the first time that I have ever ordered anything from Zappos. I was simply blown away by what a great experience it is for customers. I made my purchase at 10:30 PM on a Sunday night, and the shoes were at my house Monday at 3:00 PM. What did I pay for shipping you might ask? Nothing. I have told everyone I know, tweeted, and Facebooked about it, too! Oh, and the shoes rule.

About Nike
Nike offers a vast array of products for an active sports lifestyle. Because every athlete wants to be better, Nike is able to outfit an athlete from the top down with high performance shoes, clothing, socks, bags, watches and eyewear. Since today’s sports are about creating great athletes and transforming them into great players, Nike is there every step of the way to enhance each training experience, making each workout count.
Top quality and performance are key to unlocking your inner potential. With a pair of Nike Shox beneath your feet and a Nike Dri-Fit ensemble to help deflect sweat and discomfort, your goals will be within reach. No matter what your goals are, Nike knows that training and running are a way of life. Keep up with your active lifestyle and prepare for the game with the NikeFit apparel system.
If swimming is more your game, Nike Swimwear has got you covered. From training to team swimwear, Nike remains at the forefront of new and innovative technologies. Nike Swim is constantly striving to develop new fabrics for more comfortable and effective swimwear. Since harsh, chlorinated water is hard on swimsuits, Nike has created an answer with Nike NX fabric. This chlorine-resistant, colorfast nylon fabric can withstand long hours of training and competition while retaining its shape throughout the life of the garment. Excellent shape retention and soft, lightweight comfort can be found with Nike Swimwear that utilizes Nike EVR-X poly fabric. This unique fabric blends in the revolutionary chlorine-proof Dow XLA™ fiber with a comfortable stretch for maximum performance and comfort.
Nike continues to seek new and innovative ways to develop superior athletic products, and creative methods to communicate directly with Nike consumers. Nike Free, Nike+ and Nike Sphere are just three examples of this approach. Nike has always been at the front of technical integration, whether it is from Bill Bowerman’s wife’s waffle iron outsole, the revolutionary Nike Pegasus, to Nike Air technology; Nike is always pushing the envelope on creativity. When it comes to creativity and functionality, Nike’s motto is “Just do it.”

I was very happy with my experience with Zappos. I received the order very promptly. My husband loves the shoes. And I am very thankful that Zappos carries larger sizes, as it is hard to find my husband's size (they usually do not carry it in stores).

I was looking for lightweight comfortable running shoes to use primarily for walking and casual wear, and I bought these because I liked the looks of the black/white model. I got them half a size larger and they fit perfectly. They are pretty comfortable and well cushioned, but unfortunately they have no arch support, actually zero. They are totally flat inside, which surprised me. Since I would have to buy an orthotic insert to give them proper arch support I am returning them. But then I discovered the Asics Tiger Ultimate 81 here at Zappos, and they fit the bill for what I want. While the Asics Ultimate 81 have less cushioning than these Nikes, they look really cool in black/camel, are very comfortable, and have some arch support. I do not think they would be good for running, but they are very good for walking and knocking around. They are a lot like classic sneakers but with some cushioning and a slightly raised cushioned heel (exactly what you would like to see Converse All Stars have to make them more comfortable). Zappos' fast free shipping and free return shipping with prompt refund made switching them out easy. I Thank you, Zappos, for offering such a great selection and making it easy to do business. I will definitely be buying more shoes from you.
Brands I'd also recommend: Asics Tiger Ultimate 81.

It's a serviceable sneaker. I wear them to the gym only, because my wife thinks they're too bright and white to wear socially. A good sneaker for a low-impact workout (per the product description), but I would look for something with more support if you're planning to run or walk a lot.

I love this shoe as it is light, comfortable and great looking. Also If you are not buying from Zappos then you're not buying right as they have given me extraordinary customer service beyond my expectations.
