Zappos: Swift delivery. Love them. Shoes: Comfortable. Well Cushioned. I tend to walk on the outside of my feet and this ruins my shoes but I feel well cushioned with these shoes.

They are super comfy. I am obsessed with them and the color. However, I recommend getting a half size larger than your normal size.

I am a first time online shoe buyer and I was really hesitant to buy the product because of the shoe lace reviews and sizing. I bought them anyways, so here goes. Appearance: style and color were exactly as pictured. Gorgeous! I bought the navy blue with neon lime green Nike accent Fit: I bought them half an inch bigger from my usual size like what a lot of reviews suggested when it comes to buying Nike products, plus I have wide feet. The shoes fit perfectly with enough room in it to have that airy, light feeling when you walk. (I'm normally a size 8, and i got it it in 8 1/2. ) Comfort and support: it is great for walking and running since its very light, but when you stay standing up, it doesn't give you that much comfort. I'm a nurse, I use it for work, and it never gave me problems. It might be because I rarely stay standing for so long. But, when I used it one time to watch a concert, my feet hurt after like 15-20 mins in. The arch support is just moderate, not good enough. The laces: For the shoe laces, yes it did hurt the first time I used them. I decided to give it another shot but loosened the ties a bit this time, and it worked! Never had any more problems afterward. Overall, it was a good product, very stylish, light and comfortable. The support is moderate, but depends on the person's lifestyle. ;)

These look great and are very cushy. I bought them for long walks and hikes and very light running and they're comfortable, though I quickly started to notice that they pinch in the back of my right foot. I attribute it mainly to the fact that my right foot is a tad larger than my left, and am hoping that with some squashing it down and some easing into them they'll get more comfortable.

I love these shoes and I love Zappos. I am fascinated by how awesomely amazing this company is. It runs like a finely tuned clock. I'm just really happy because I got my shoes really fast. Oh, and the shoes are nice too. I'm an under-pronator. I have really high arches and run on the outside of my feet. These feel much better than my last pair. They are really well cushioned and they make my feet look a little wider which I like because I fell like my feet are weirdly narrow and long.

I love this shoe! I'm normally a 7.6 to 8 in sneakers and the 7.5 fits great. The color is awesome and exactly as pictured. This shoes are great for running errands or light workouts at the gym

Sadly, I had to return these. I love Nike for their durability so this brand was my first choice. And while I was excited to receive my shoes so quickly, it was very disappointing that I couldn't even tie them up! I do have a wide foot and high arch, so perhaps it was just a mismatch of attributes. But the moment I put them on, I noticed they were so tight at the ball of my foot that the seaming where the tongue is sewn into the shoe pressed into my foot, and I wasn't even standing yet! I had plenty of room in the length of the shoe, so the actual sizing was correct. Hoping to have better luck with my exchange!

I love these. They are SUPER light weight. Not a ton of arch support but I put my Spenco inserts in and now they're great (you have to tug on the original inserts to get them out, but they come out without hurting anything). I used to think Nike's weren't true to size, but I'm wearing my normal shoe size and they feel fine.

I just bought these shoes and I love it. its super light and comfortable. I am flat footed so my foot has no arch. This provides the support I need and I love the color and style. I wear a 7.5 but got this in a 8 and it fits perfectly. I recommend that you guys get it a size bigger than your original size. Trust me, you can't go wrong with these shoes.

I'm obsessed with these shoes. I work in the Emergency Department so I'm on my feet all day and they are super comfortable. I see other staff including RN's and EMT's wearing the same shoes and they all love them. I just ordered another pair for work out shoes.

I love this shoe! I bought them to wear during the day when I wanted a comfortable, walking around shoe. I have used it to workout as well and really liked the arch support the shoe has! This is a very practical shoe and I love it! Definitely recommend this color and shoe to anyone!

I love the way these shoes look - they are so cute and stylish. I bought the gray with the pink accents and I love the colors. However, I was pretty disappointed with the cushioning and support. I bought these mainly for cross training (like lifting weights, using the elliptical, doing some cardio classes). I just walked around my house in them and jumped up and down a little, and I feel like the cushioning is virtually non-existent. The shoes feel like walking on cardboard to me. I'm surprised that other people have written about the great cushioning on these shoes. I guess I'm used to Asics, which have a ton of cushioning and support. As much as I love the look of these shoes, I'll probably have to return them. I'm bummed.

Brands I'd also recommend: Asics, Saucony

Bought these shoes for my daughter, whom is on a high school track team. She loves her shoes and and her teammates do, too. She has flat feet, so she wears shoe inserts and has no issues. I am considering getting a pair for myself!

Not happy with these shoes, I would rather pay a little more and get the Nike Free Runs that I know are comfortable and last. These felt cheap right out of the box and the tongue is positioned funny.

Helped my mom order these shoes because she liked how flexible and light my Nike Frees are. She loves them! They fit well, are true to size, and she wears them all the time. She did change out the inserts for her own, but other than that, a great buy.

GREAT Workout shoe!! I got these for the gym and they were perfect right out of the box. They are so lightweight and comfortable and very cute. Be sure to order a half size up! I'm getting more of these in different colors.

First of all, I have to say I feel like a rockstar when I wear these to the gym. They're the perfect accessory. They make me feel like an actual athlete rather than someone who has to drag herself to gym, and they make me want to go more as well. When I first got these shoes (as a Christmas gift) I wondered if I might have to go a half size bigger. I ordered the 8 since I'm normally a 7.5. However, after one week of easy, light use (aka I went to the gym twice, and walked around the mall a bit) the shoes fit perfectly. I've been using them consistently since Christmas and they're holding up very well. I'd recommend this shoe to my friends.

Brands I'd also recommend: New Balance

My first pair of Nikes and they are great! I've always worn Asics and I just really liked the style of these so I figured I'd give them a try! I wear an 11 and they fit perfectly.

These shoes are not attractive, and I could deal with that if they were comfortable. The shoes are stiff, and there is no cushioning or shock absorption under the foot. These shoes have very minimal arch support, and running in these shoes would most likely result in very sore feet. I have a pair of barefoot shoes (Vibram) and I find them to be more comfortable than these. I am sending this pair back.

These look fantastic but they're not really comfortable. The area where the laces begin digs into my foot. Unfortunately, I'll have to return them.
