The shoe stretches out with use. I wear a 13 and bought these in a 12. They form to your feet in about of week of just walking around.

The shoes run small, so I would suggest you order a half size bigger. Zappos delivery and return is impeccable. Great service. Will order from them again in the near future.

These have been great for me. They are very comfortable in spite of my genetically inferior feet. They have a lot of cushioning and, while they are not meant to be used for this, I wear them for indoor baseball practice. They have enough lateral support to work for that. I like that the material used in the shoe is mainly solid surface yet flexible and it doesn't attract/hold dirt. Plus, I think they are very nice looking. I think that they are true to size for an athletic shoe. They are a keeper!

I looked at various Nike running shoes and settled on these 5.0 after a few friends highly recommended them. They are very light and comfortable. The light weight does make them feel a little flimsy, but I’m not worried about the long-term quality. If you are looking for a heavier and more substantial running shoe, check out the Nike Air Max line.
The 5.0 comes in a lot of color options, and most of them tend to be pretty bright or flashy. Fortunately, there are a few designs that don’t scream out. I settled on the combination of Armory Navy/Chilling Red/Armory Slate and find it to be conservative with just the right amount of subtle bright color.
Like others have stated, order a half size up. I normally wear 10.5 in Nike but had to get these in size 11.

Love these shoes...light, comfortable. Size wise they run small, so I went 1/2 a size larger.

My son loves these shoes. This is his 3rd pair. He runs not only cross country in them but also the 3200 in track as well.

Son loves these - very comfortable with good support. The color (black on black) is good too - as he likes to be low key.

Cool, light and comfortable; but did have to buy a 1/2 size up from my normal size. Great shoe for casual wear and for light duty running.

Great shoes, awesomely comfortable. They do run a little on the smaller side so definitely size up at least a half size from what you would normally wear in Nikes.

Ordered these shoes for my grandson; they were here within a few days and he loved them. They fit perfectly! WWe have told our friends about this site and we will definitely order from Zappos again.

Most comfortable sneaker ever. Running, the gym, around the house. I have 2 pair. Won't wear anything else. Zappos customer service is the best. Free shipping both ways. Delivered 2 days after I ordered them. Best online store ever.

Love this shoe. Just ordered a second pair.
Light weight with just enough structure. Breathable and flexible.

I received these as a gift and I'm happy I did. They are comfortable and I like that they are black with white soles. The bright colors aren't for me.

Great shoe. Bought for my son and he has worn them nonstop. Last pair held up for 9 months. Still were in decent shape but he outgrew them.

What can I say about these shoes that hasn't already been said? These are the BEST running/workout shoes I have ever owned. Period. I could sleep in them they are so comfortable. The support/comfort they offer is simply unmatched. I only discovered the 5.0+ a year ago, but I already have 3 pairs. Most of the criticism's are right though, as they are very narrow, but all Nike's are.. as they are no more narrow than say for instance a pair of Free Runs (which don't even COMPARE to the 5.0+). These are expensive, and deserve to be worn as much as possible. Some people honestly may be better off sticking to a cheaper alternative - but if you spend 6+ days a week at the gym, investing in a shoe so perfect is worth every penny.

Super fast delivery. I ordered shoes 2 weeks before Xmas. I wasn't sure if they would be delivered by Xmas. Turns out, they were delivered 3 days after I ordered them. Couldn't be happier with that kind of service!

My brother purchased these shoes and just wouldn't shut up about how comfortable they felt. So I ordered a pair for my husband and now HE won't shut up about how comfortable they are. So I guess they are pretty comfortable.

I got these shoes for my boyfriend for Christmas. He says they are the most comfortable and lightweight sneaker he owns. He is a surfer and drummer with a large flat foot (size 13) so his style is usually either Vans, converse, Sanuks, or Clarks. He typically never wears Nikes outside the gym except for this particular sneaker. He wears them with jeans too because he says they are so comfy. Yay! I also have the female version of these and I wear mine almost every single day.

These shoes are great for working out! The delivery was on time and the shoes are just as expected. A heads up to anyone ordering, these shoes fit a bit small. Order half a size up or a full size in some cases. Enjoy!

Great shoes. I have owned 3 pairs and have ran 1/2 marathons and marathons with them. They are the only shoes that I run in and this is the first shoe that I have never had a blister in. I order them a full size larger than my foot size.
