Super shoes, super light, super color - love 'em! I have 2 pair --- hope Nike keeps making them forever! (Even more colors: yellow? blue? grey?) They work fine with my orthotics.

The product is fine. I was looking for ultralight shoes to use as camp shoes for backpacking. At 4.5 oz per shoe, these fit the bill. What is extraordinary is Zappos. Phenomenal service. I will never shop elsewhere if I can find what I want at Zappos.

Very light weight, looks to go over the 100K advertised. Made me decided to go minimalist, but not barefoot. Downside - I have wide feet; these may cause blisters in some areas if used without socks.

These shoes are fantastic! They are light as a feather, provide good arch support, and are extremely comfortable for running! My teen daughter was excited to get them and could not wait to wear them for school sports!

These are pure kicks for me...I like the color and the style so I rock them with my skinny gear and shorts. Very light and more comfortable than I thought after feeling them.

Very comfy and lightweight. Love them, except they are disposable. They were made to last for a 100k. Didn't know that until I received the shoe and read the info on the collector's bag it came with. The upper half of the shoe is made out of a cheap, breathable, plasticy kind of material. Hard to explain, but if you're looking for a more durable shoe, find another. If you just want a cheap shoe you won't override, this is a great buy.

Awesome shoe! Too bad they run very small. I actually had to give them away to someone with less narrow feet.

I happened upon these shoes when I sent back a birthday gift from relatives. I have long been a fan of the original Nike Free 5.0 IDs -- lightweight, flexible, and oh so comfortable. I read the description of the Mayflys, and since I buy flyweight sneakers primarily for casual use (Nike Vomeros for running), I was not put off by the specter of the Mayflys self-destructing after 60 miles or so. Great decision! These shoes are the most comfortable I've ever worn and are so far tough as nails -- and truly unnoticeable on your feet. Except for the fact that everybody who notices them will ask where, when, how you got them. Great shoe with good arch support and heel cushioning. Buy a half size larger than dress shoes.

These sneaks are super light! I've never worn anything lighter on my feet. I've run less than 10 miles on treadmills, and the only problem I've felt is a little bit of pain at the balls of my feet. I suspect a lack of cushion or I may just need to get used to them. Otherwise, I'm running these to the ground! Which should be pretty fast, but for the price, they're still a great deal.

I bought these for my 7th grader. I knew they were called Mayfly because of their short life expectancy but 7th grade boys' shoes have a short life expectancy no matter what. He loves them. Despite being light weight, they have held up well, are super comfortable and he loves them. Zappos got them here in only a couple of days, as always great service.

A friend had a pair and I said I want those shoes, as does everyone else who sees them. You can only find these shoes on line. Extremely light weight, (the fabric is similar to parachute material) and very comfortable. I normally wear a ladies 7.5, but had to return it for an 8.

Feel great, look cool, and lots of compliments! Although they won't last long, I think the price is commensurate with the short life span. People ask me where I got them. Wear them mainly for CrossFit gym. I normally wear women's size 11, and the men's 9.5/ women's 11 fit perfectly.

Great, light weight shoe. Like every flexible and minimalist shoe, if your feet are not used to the flexibility, you need to 'work up to' running in them. Otherwise, you risk injury.

I'm not a runner, just want shoes that are light and breathe well. These are the lightest shoes I have ever had! They are 4.5 ounces each and have a breathing hole up through the sole. As stated, they are designed to only last about 100k...or approximately 60 miles. We'll see, since they are casual shoes to me. I use Zappos exclusively now for all my shoe purchases. I tell everybody I know about Zappos.

No frills in a good way. These shoes seem to get more comfortable with each mile. I've only run one 5k and one 10k in them, but I never even thought of my feet/shoes during the race; that's uncommon for me. Light as a feather (almost)!

These shoes are amazing! I got these shoes for school because we run every Wednesday but when I received these I decided to test them outside. I sprinted as fast as I could around my property and they were comfortable and light. These have got to be the lightest shoes I have ever owned! If you purchase these shoes they will arrive with a signature Nike Mayfly bag to carry them in. But make sure to stick to dirt and not Gravel because Gravel punctured several holes in the soles. But those were nothing serious.

These shoes are amazing. They are the lightest shoes I have ever owned. And they are very comfortable. I used to get "shin splints" when I ran in my heavy running shoes. But now that I have started wearing these, shin splints are a thing of the past. These are by far my favorite running shoes.
