Love these shoes - I walk 5-8 miles per day and these last me ~6 months. The shoes like all Nike shoes are 1 size larger than typical i.e. I normally wear a 10.5 but in ALL Nike's I wear an 11.5.

I ordered these shoes in a 10 originally and they wound up being too small. I printed the return label and dropped the shoes off, for free, and had another pair that fit literally the next day. Great shoes too by the way.

My 12 year old son loves these. The yellow does get dirty quicker than the other colors (which he and my 15 year old daughter have had in the past. My 67 year old mother actually bought some for tennis (white, of course). All 3 say they are light and comfortable.

Toe piece rubs off very quickly making the shoes look old and tired when they are new. My middle school son loves the comfort though.

I love these shoes. They are super comfy, a soft ride without being overly cushioned, and decent looking.

Great, great shoe! I got mine for a percentage off because nobody liked the bright yellow. If you are a runner these are your race shoes. I train in the Nike Flex 13 and run in the Nike Free 5.0+. Personally, I don t see any need to go any higher on the price scale when these shoes are available because you are not going to get anything better quality wise and no buyers remorse on this purchase.

Bought these for back to school shoes for my 11 year old son. Found them in the store but they did not have his size in the color he wanted, went to Zappos - Bam had them the next day!

I bought the shoe because I had an older pair of the same kind that was worn out. The shoe fits true to Nike sizes and is exactly what I expected. They provide good support but are still very light. I trained for a marathon in my last pair and will be doing the same in these. They are comfortable for long runs or just to wear around casually. I also like the fact that the colors are pretty subtle, so if I wear them when I'm not running, they don't scream, "running shoe". Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great shoe. Had to go up a full size. Fits like a glove, literally - I need to keep my socks thin. I have flat feet and enjoy a shoe that mimics a bare foot.

This is my sons second pair of these shoes. He outgrew the first pair. He just loves them so much - wears them every day. They are very light and I have even tried them on to see if what he says is true and they are extremely light and comfortable. Strongly recommend. Great shoe for a not a Nike lover.

Great running shoe. Didnt realize how bad the old ones were until I put these on. I ordered mine about a half size small for a tight fit and I got it. Sizes are right on. Its nike.

Love this shoe. Extraordinarily light and comfortable. Looks good enough to be worn casually with jeans or khakis. Left shoe insole contains slot for pedometer, this seems to squeak a little bit.

Hoping to return and get a 1/2 size smaller. great comfort just a bit too long hard to tell when going from women's to men's size. The women's 12 too short and men's 12 too long. Going for men's 11.5 hope it works!

My son loves these since he has narrow feet. It's his third pair, but he wears an inset for his flat feet. There's not much support for this lightweight shoe.

I am so glad that I ignored the reviews that stated that the Nike Free 5.0s are somehow not true to size. These are absolutely positively the best fitting size 9½ men's running shoes that I have ever worn! I would bet anything that those making those not true to size claims have super high, chin splint prone feet. The issue is not the sizing of the shoes. The issue is your particular feet so stop misinforming people or at least point out your foot type. If you have normal to low arches the Nike Free 5.0s should feet your feet fine in the size you typically wear. These are running shoes not Johnny on the block casual shoes so they are supposed to fit snug as running shoes. If you are looking for shoes that you want to feel super comfortable all day long in look else where. If Nike actually listened to the sizing feedback here they would end up making shoes that only properly fit high arched, shin splint prone people. The bottom line is that if you have really high arched feet consider different shoes. Claiming these shoes are somehow not true to size without pointing out your foot type or understanding how running shoes should fit does nobody any good. There are plenty of shoes available for folks with high arched, shin splint prone feet. Nike made the Nike Free 5.0s to fit optimal for people with normal to low arches.

As with most Nike sneakers you will want to buy 1/2 - 1 whole size larger than you would with other companies. Once in the correct size, they are AMAZING. I've worn mine every day since they showed up.

I found these at a store but not our size. I went straight to Zappos and ordered them and had them the following day and no shipping. Great shoe, great service!

This is my 5th pair of Nike Free's. That should tell you something! Love these for their light weight, flexibility and bright color combos!

Make sure to order a half or full size larger than what you normally wear - I had to return a pair because they were too small. I love these shoes - so light in comparison with my regular running shoes. Very easy to clean after muddy/trail runs.

Very nice running shoes. Light weight, comfortable, good support... As far as running shoes go, they look fine. I use them for track, and they work rather well, and I guess everyone else likes them too, because there are some 14 people on the team with the same shoes.

Just a tip: these are actually a half size smaller (depending on the brand of shoe you're used to). I generally find EU sizes to be more accurate. I'm generally EU 46 which is US 11.5 in most brands. However, for this model, EU 46 = US 12.

Great shoe. I wanted something a little more substantial than flip-flops but very light so that I could pack for my Harley trips. These are great. Crazy light and comfortable. I leave the laces loose to relax - but the shoe tightens nicely for working out.

Super light, very comfortable, feels like wearing nothing. They seem to fit a bit tight around the foot, but my toes have plenty of room to spread out. I bought them in the Total Orange and get compliments on them all the time at the gym.
