First off, you definitely want to follow the sizing recommendation and go a half size up from your non-Nike shoe size. I am an 8½ in all other flats and bought a 9 in these. Secondly, you should know that these shoes are not for people who want a lot of support in their footwear. These shoes are super minimal and great for people who are doing a lot of lifting or plyometrics and like the feel of a barefoot workout. I took these for a spin today, and while they were not totally comfortable out of the box, I think that was largely due to my not being used to such minimal support. I usually wear Nike free runners and these have significantly less cushion than those. After wearing them for a full training session, I can definitely say that they are worth a try for anyone who is drawn to things like five finger or other minimal training shoes but want a different look.

I had previously purchased the first open market barefoot shoe and was marginally pleased with the results. I just received these today and I am blown away. I love the support in my heel and the ball of the foot. I took them for a test drive walk/run, just like any shoe it takes a bit to no longer feel every teeny difference in the shoe, but so far, I am in love. This shoe is exactly what I was looking for. Can't wait for my Zumba class tomorrow. This is going to be perfect for me for that type of exercise. If you need a barefoot feel with some support, this is the shoe for you. I have an average arch and the arch support is perfect for my foot type. I have an irregularly shaped foot and this type of toe design is also perfect. The 5 toe type of shoe is entirely too general, this takes that element away.

For me, this shoe was just not comfortable. It's a shame because I love the look of it. I felt like a ninja. A gym ninja. But the shoe wasn't flexible, which is a problem when there's very little padding or arch support. The netting material around the toes was also very inflexible and too tight for my toes. My feet were actually aching after a couple of hours, especially in the toes. Maybe I have strangely shaped feet, but I decided againstthese. Again, a real shame because they're really cute!

I just wore this shoe today for the first time. It was not what I thought it would be. The toe box is not deep enough. The edging above my pinky toe was cutting into my foot. This is not a great shoe. Nike needs to back to the drawing board with this shoe. I thought it would be like the Nike Rift (great shoe I must say).

I bought these shoes for the pure value of laziness. I love the Mary Jane look and the Velcro on and off was very attractive. Well the benefits of comfort and overall quality far exceeded my expectations. I would expect Nike to be great but these shoes I now own in all colors and wear to shop, walk the dog, my airport travel is now palatable I stuff them into my bag after I land or when I walk into a meeting. I love theses shoes!

I wanted to love these glasses. I love the look in the picture and the color, of course! Once I tried these on I found they were too square at the bottom for my tastes. They are very nice glasses and I was tempted to keep them, but I really liked the fit and look of the Arnette Swingplate that I ended up keeping.
