Customer Reviews Nike Initiator

Huge Nike fan. Was very disappointed with these shoes. Not comfortable, very stiff and quite narrow. Minimal give in the material. Still buying Nike just not this style... I WOULD NOT recommend these for running. Not comfortable shoes.

The insoles of these shoes were incredibly hard. They also had a bump on the outer sides of the insole (to help correct underpronation I'm assuming) which was extremely uncomfortable. It's really too bad, I loved the style of these shoes but I am returning them today.

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.

This is not my favorite pair of Nikes. They are not cushy at all. They have quite hard insoles that hurt my feet. I do not recommend these at all. Avoid them!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 was the wost shoe I ever bought. They caused nothing but blisters every time I wore them, especially on the heels and between every toe. I was in morbid pain, but kept trying them, thinking it was going to adjust. I even tried walking in them for a day and felt almost crippled afterward. Please do yourself a favor and pass on this one.

I love these shoes! These are the most comfortable shoes I have. I am on my feet all day and these are perfect for me. Perfect sizing as well.

These run short. My toes in my usual size hit the front of the shoe, even just standing. I have other Nikes in my usual size that work, so think it may just be this style.

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.

Good looking shoe and comfortable, always get compliments when I wear them!

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.

Great shoe, but even better- GREAT ZAPPOS! Never easier - never better. These folks are the best!

Size 9 seemed to run small. I normally wear a 9 medium in Nike and I returned these for a 9½. It is a cute style, but they are a bit stiff and they do not feel as much like I am walking on clouds as my last pair of Nikes did. I wish they had a bit more of a cushiony feel.

I'm returning these. I need something for vacation. We will be doing a lot of walking thru zoos and pike place market. They immediately squeezed my feet when I put them on. I do not have super wide feet, I can usually order average width - but for Nike I would only get wide from now on. Thankfully Zappos delivers so quickly as I can get a replacement pair before we leave!

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!

I was really looking forward to liking this sneaker. I was very disappointed when I tried it on and my foot was squished! I bought an 8 wide and it did not feel wide at all. They are going back and I am off to try another pair.

Lovely sneakers, comfortable slightly bigger than I thought but they are fine for running and gym work.

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

Okay, I should have listened to the other reviewers! I liked the look of this shoe, but I can tell you that it is awful to wear. I wore them to work and my feet hurt within two hours. I might have dealt with it if I had been wearing heals, but these are running shoes! Very disappointed and they are going back.

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.
