Customer Reviews Nike Initiator

The Nike sneakers are pretty, but they hurt like the devil, LOL! The instep was so tight I have marks on the top of my instep. Every night when I take them off, I scratch because of the tightness of the sneaker. I thought I had ordered a WIDE, obviously not. I have been wearing them for approx. 3 weeks and decided to get a pair of FlipFLOPS, talk about relief! Overall the sneaker is fine, just too tight for me.

Other than the fact that the shoe was too narrow, it was a good looking shoe and ordering and receiving the order was fast.

I purchased these as just a casual shoe to wear around town. They look great and feel good. I couldn't be more satisfied with them.

Nice shoes, but a bit tighter than the Dart 9's I bought previously. I wanted to buy another pair of Dart 9's, but they were out of them, at the time, so I bought 2 pairs of the Initiators, thinking they would feel the same as the Dart 9. They do not. I'm sorry I didn't wait for the Dart 9 to be back in stock. Still, not a bad shoe. Very attractive looking.

A fairly good shoe for the price if you are just getting started in your fitness regime. Provides a bare minimum of cushioning...I put orthotics in mine and it helps quite a bit. A good looking shoe that you can wear out and about.

I should have read the reviews first. I am a SF Giants fan and thought I found the perfect ball park shoe with orange, black and white. However the "mango" looks more like neon pink in person. With Zappos I know returning will be a breeze!

Gorgeous shoe but not for true runners...if you need arch support, this is a great option for you. A bit too heavy on my feet for my running taste, but super cute with jeans and a tank!

Although Nike shoes are a lot heavier and bulky feeling compared to how they used to be, these are pretty comfortable. A bit less heavy than the purchase I made earlier. And they are pretty!

I mostly wear Nikes and generally love them. But I'm astounded by the great reviews these sneakers received here. I bought the white and papya and, although I love the styling, they are not comfortable by any stretch. The arch support is minimal, the back of the shoe keeps rubbing against my feet, but, worst of all, they are extremely stiff and feel heavy on my feet. I keep hoping that they'll loosen up and become miraculously more flexible, but no such luck. Moral of the story: I should have accepted that you really do get what you pay for.

Great fit! I thought the color was supposed to be red (note cherry) but it turned out being pink. I was really trying to coordinate with my work uniform (black, white, red)!

I have never been so pleased with ordering online until this one. My order was exactly as seen in the ad and delivery was almost immediate.

Like these shoes. My friend saw them and also wanted a pair. A little roomier than most Nikes as I always order a half size up. The fit is comfortable but do wish there was a little more support/padding at the ball of the foot.

I bought these for my mother-in-law as a birthday present. Normally, she likes all white sneakers, but I thought these would add a little burst of color. She loved them! They fit true to size.

Extremely comfortable and of course ordering and receiving from Zappos is easy and convenient. I have to wear these for work. I do a lot of standing and walking so these are great.

Love my new shoes. They look good and feel great. I would highly recommend these shoes.

Love these sneakers, this is my second pair in this color and I have a pair in black. I've had 3 back surgeries and these sneakers are so comfortable that's why I got a second pair and then I bought my best friend a pair too.

I have been walking a lot on my treadmill and I bought several different types of shoes and my feet hurt in all until I got the Nike Initiator. They feel great on my feet! I couldn't believe the comfort. Even the break in period didn't last long. These shoes are awesome!! I will definitely buy another pair! Almost forgot, but the price is very reasonable,too!!

I bought these shoes for my mom, and she is loving them. She's had several knee surgeries and was looking for something that would suit her physical therapy needs and be comfortable. She also has a rather wide foot, so the W sizing option was great for her. My mom is not an online shopper and had never used Zappos before, but when she saw that you could view a video of the shoe, she was thrilled. The shows also arrived super quickly. Great purchase overall. I love Zappos!

Zappos provided great service! They were out of stock when I first placed the order, but they notified me as soon as they were able to get my size. Love my Nike tennis shoes!

I absolutely love these. They are super cute and comfortable, with my job I am on my feet pretty much all day long and they don't hurt at all. They are a perfect fit. Love them!

GREAT athletic shoe all around. However, please know, as others have said, that the black color with cherry trim is more of a bright pink trim (but I don't mind, I like that color too). Other than that LOVE these! Fits is perfect, right out of the box. I breathed a sigh of relief knowing FINALLY I have comfy shoes! I will probably be ordering more colors too! Hard to find a sturdy sole these days and this is perfect for my needs. Zappos is the best!

I own a pair in white and decided they were so comfortable I needed a pair in black. Great fit & support for my feet.

I really like these shoes. Have worn them for a long time and then couldn't find them in stores, luckily I found that I could buy them through Zappos.

Love these sneakers...have them in 3 different colors. They have a high / moderately wide toe box which is what I need

I have chronic pain from heel spurs and these shoes are wonderful to help me to walk pain-free. I have orthotics and they are deep enough to hold the orthotics along with the insoles. It is a wonderful shoe and it fits true to size.
