Customer Reviews Nike Free 5.0 V4

I bought these shoes for my daughter; she had another pair from a local store and loves them. They are great for wearing during the day (if you aren't buying them to run in). They are more comfortable than the full leather Nike shoe because they really let your toes move and breathe. Just comfy.

I bought these shoes because I wanted super-comfortable shoes to wear at Disney World. I saw them at the shoe store in the mall and knew I needed them because they were so light and flexible. The store didn't have my size; as a matter of fact the entire chain was sold out of this particular shoe. I came to Zappos hoping they had them and they did! I was so excited! When I got them, I took them out of the box and tried them on immediately; they were perfect! They matched (I got a black and natural gray pair) with everything and they kept me very comfortable the entire time we were at Disney. I am so happy I got these shoes; they are great walking and aerobics shoes and even better for running! Zappos, thank you so much! The ordering process was easy and I got my shoes shipped for free within three days of ordering them.

Great pair of running shoes. Almost as if barefoot. So far so good with no knee pain when running in these shoes. Good looking style too. Very satisfied.

I originally bought this shoe in a size 10. They felt fine on my foot in the house, but when I went walking, they felt tight - like I needed a wider shoe. Since I had already worn them once, I called Zappos and asked if there was anything I could do, I needed a larger size. Zappos was great! They replaced the shoe, although the original color was not available, without question, they fit much better and I've been taking daily walks ever since. Awesome company and very comfortable shoe, they tend to run about 1/2 size smaller than you would expect.

Was searching for a no-sock, hot weather shoe that isn\'t my rather cushiony, chunky running shoes. These are perfect: keep my feet dry, lots of support, and that airy feel perfect for heat wear w/out socks. Will be great through the fall too, with jeans/capris. Probably not for running, really, unless you have NO foot/leg issues or are very slim :}.

Wonderful shoes. I love them. I had been suffering from pain and shin splints whenever I walked on pavement before changing to these shoes. I do not run in these but have found them great for walking. You do not need socks with these shoes and they are as light as air.

I\'ve had these before and wore them out. They are very light and great to travel with. Make sure you order them one size larger than you normally wear. I love them.

Love these shoes! I'm 47 and today for the first time I can remember in my whole life I put on a pair of shoes new out of the box and they fit my feet perfectly! I have researched a lot about the natural stride we use for barefoot walking and tried to practice it, but modern shoes make it impossible. I go barefoot at home, but the rest of the day I have to walk in the heel-toe stride that causes so many foot problems. These shoes allow me to walk the way my feet were meant to, "forefoot strike," it's called. Love these shoes! (Just wish I liked the color selections better.)

Love it! It\'s fashionable. It does not make my feet look too wide like most trainers. It\'s a little tighter for the size though.

These are great shoes. They are flexible and incredibly light on my feet, yet supportive. Bought two pairs, and will never go back to normal sneakers that are so stiff, you can barely feel the ground beneath your feet. I had to order a half size up.

This is a great sneaker. I got the one in purple, and the color looks the same in person as it does on the web. I made sure to try the same style shoe at a local store (which did not have the color I wanted) to make sure I ordered the right size. I normally wear an 8.5 but went with the 9. I am glad I did. I wear these shoes to the gym, using them on the cardio equipment. They are very comfortable. The only complaint is when I tried a boxing lab class at the gym and realized that the extra rubber on the shoe hurt my feet more than helped them. But then again, these shoes are made for running and not boxing. I would encourage anyone who wants to order these to try them out. I am really happy with my purchase.

Got these in black for my teenage daughter. She got a lot of compliments on them at school and loves them!

I love the Nike Free! It is good for your feet, comfortable and stylish enough to wear casually. It runs a little small, so I would opt for the larger size. Overall, a great product and after searching many retailers, the best deal I found was on Zappos!

I ordered the light blue and gray Nike. They are really cute and are so light on my feet. They run narrow, but I have narrow feet so they fit perfectly. I use them for walking. Don’t really care for the other colors or I would order another pair.

These shoes are great! Extremely comfy and very breathable. I'm usually a size 9, but I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a size up and they fit perfectly. They're flexible and don't feel bulky at all. I would definitely recommend them. Thanks Zappos for the quick, cheap and pleasant experience!

I love these shoes. I have been wearing them for longer runs and they really help my feet. I do not recommend these shoes for people with foot strike issues. If you have a normal foot strike but are having knee pain or foot pain, go for it!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoes! so light and cool looking...unlike traditional running shoes. I thought the fit was pretty true to size. They also fold totally flat if you need to pack them. Easily my favorite running shoes ever!

I recently bought these shoes after reading more about the benefits of barefoot / minimalist running. They are extremely flexible, especially through the forefoot and seem to naturally promote running more on the balls of my feet instead of striking with my heel. I'm using them for all of my running (approx 20 miles / week, half-marathon races) and find them equally comfortable for long runs and speed work. They're not quite as good for walking when you would want to make more of a heel-first contact and for me they're a little narrow, but I've adjusted.

Awesome shoes. Love running in them. Inside lining is super soft and washable, so they\'re actually MOST comfortable with no socks, especially in the heat. They are also super light and the insides are designed to be shaped like your foot, so if you have the right fit, they are the bomb! Also, must add, got the wrong size first time, and had to return and re-order - excellent service from Zappos.

I love these shoes! They're great for running on anything treadmill, asphalt, trail, etc. The shoes are light, comfortable, and fit true to size. I bought the green color. Whatever you do do NOT let ANYONE tell you to wear them without socks, I tried it, blisters for days.

Zappos made my first buying experience with them a pleasure. Not only was shipping free, but they gave me a free upgrade which got my product to me quicker than expected. The Nikes were great, too! I am well-pleased.

Love these shoes - very comfy, not at all bulky. I have been walking and running short distances in them as a way of transitioning to a more minimalist running shoe style. So far so good after a few weeks. My only downside was that the green color is way brighter in person than it looked on my computer screen.

I have been using these shoes for about one week. I jog about 3 miles five days a week and these shoes are awesome! I have slightly wide feet which are also flat, and my previous running shoes made my feet ache excruciatingly. After much research, I decided that Nike Free 5.0 was the shoe I needed. It is designed to simulate "barefoot" running to engage the entire foot. Since I have been using these shoes, I have not had any foot pain. I ordered half a size up, as seems to be standard with Nike, and it is the appropriate size for running shoes. These shoes are extremely lightweight and comfortable and Zappos' service is top notch!

These shoes were just as reviewed. They are great. I did order them a 1/2 size up, but that wasn't necessary. However, the extra "wiggle room" in the toe box for my toes is nice. I just wear thicker socks. These shoes travel well, don't weigh a lot and can be squished down into a suit case easily so they don't take up as much space as other sneakers. Yet walking about town they were comfortable, supportive and light weight and they look good, too. I got them in black so I didn't stand out so conspicuously as an American. Love 'em. I will use them primarily for travel.

I love this shoe, very comfortable. Definitely order 1/2 size up. Only complaint is the stitching started coming out on the top of the left shoe after my first wear! Couldn't send them back because I had worn them!
