Sadly, these are the two pairs of shoes that I have to return. It is no fault of Zappos, nor is it Nike's! These particular shoes are just not right for one of my feet! I am so sorry that I have to return the shoes. They are so cute and stylish and a great color!

I have been wearing these at work for about a month now and they are great. I am on my feet for a majority of a 12 hour shift, but my feet still feel good at the end of a shift. They also hold up well to a bleach wipe as needed. I cannot speak to them as running shoes since I only wear them to work, but I imagine they are still as comfortable after a long run as they are after my shift at work. All in all, you cannot beat the price. They are definitely a great value.

Just purchased my third pair of these shoes and love them. I walk 5 miles every morning and I can wear these right out of the box and be comfortable. Great mid-priced, light, comfortable shoe for walkers.

Very comfortable and perfect fit. This sneaker is perfect for anyone who does a lot of walking or spends a lot of time on their feet.

This is the first pair of Nike that I have ever bought that hurt my feet...but they are so pretty, so I will wear them anyway.

Super cute! Supposed to be red but it is more of a hot pink! Which is okay, I'm still keeping them. Good for the gym!

Nice comfortable shoe for moderate runners. Not much if any arch support so you have to add a gel pad or some kind of insert if you need it. Wider at toe area than my other Nikes.

I love these shoes. I've been looking for a pair of turquoise shoes for a while, and these are just perfect. They seem a tad shorter than I expected, and the ball of my left foot gets sore after walking over 3 miles, so I put a gel pad in the shoe and works fine now.

Excellent shoe for me, the underpronator, I've gotten another pair now and I plan to keep buying them when they wear out because they completely solve my knee issue which was partially caused by my foot rolling outward. I got them initially because I was going to NY and I planned on walking around a lot and was really worried about my knee acting up, but I was a walking superhero and the shoes were brilliant. Nike's always are a half size too small to me, so I just always get a half size larger than usual.

I just purchased these sneakers and I love the way they looked. But I bought the 10W and they felt narrow. I would suggest that you go up half a size. I called Zappos and exchanged them. They provide wonderful service. I will recommend you to friends.

I have always purchased Nike...for the last 30 years but anymore they feel stiff and uncomfortable. Toebox too narrow. Big toes pushed against shoe...would need a half size larger than you normally wear. Sending back for a different brand.

Comfy sneakers for the gym. Feet don't sweat, and great traction when running. I normally wear a size 8 1/2 but after reading other reviews decided to go up with a size 9.

This was my first time irdering from Zappos. I like the fact that Zappos had the shoes I wanted and not out of stock like other stores. The packaging was done with extra precaution. The biggest down side was the delivery time which took longer than expected (weeks). I wa Ted to give the 5 stars but the delivery time really disappointed me.

Wow, these were really hard, not much cushion like I needed. Have a lot of hard surface flooring at home and need support but lots of cushion and these made my feet ache. I'll look at Reeboks a little closer.

I normally wear a size 10W, but ordered a 10 1/2 to compensate for the Med width. They were too small and I am exchanging for a size 11. They seem like a great sneaker for the price and other than being too short, they seemed like they will be comfortable to wear!

Great looking shoe, have had so many compliments. Mostly comfortable, but I find that after a few hours, my feet are aching. I don't think the arch support or cushioning inside the shoe are the best. Overall, not bad, but could be better.

This is my second pair of the Nike Initiators. First pair was comfortable from the start and lasted well over the usual six - seven months with daily walks of about 3 miles. Good value for the price. Kudos to Zappos for their usual fine service - I had these the day after I ordered them.

I think they run 1/2 size big. I have a narrow feet and they feel too wide, but the shoe is beautiful!
