Customer Reviews Nike Initiator

Love my new Nikes. Inexpensive and delivered in just a few days. No returns from me!

I love my new shoes. The mango color is quite unique and fashionable. I've received many compliments. Thanks for super service and lightening speed shipment.

I purchased these shoes because of how they looked. If you're looking for a wide shoe made for under-pronators, the selection is rather limited. When I got them I thought they'd be great to wear just around town and maybe even for light work outs. After I received them and tried them on I was very disappointed. They were uncomfortable and offered no arch support. They felt so poor that I couldn't even keep them just to wear to the grocery store or while running other errands. As usual, Zappos amazing customer service was more than accommodating of my request to return and get a better pair of shoes. Overall, these shoes are really cute...but if you have every had a decent pair of sneakers on your feet I can't imagine you'll like these at all.

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 love these shoes! I'm a nurse & on my feet a lot. These are the most comfortable shoes I've found in a long time! Amazingly, my feet don't hurt at the end of the day. Definitely recommend!

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!

These are very sharp looking shoes. They are perfect for summertime with shorts or jeans. They provide excellent arch support, very comfortable, and the perfect fit. I absolutely love Nikes and these are up to their great quality as usual. They were sold at a good price and the shipping was super fast. Zappos rocks!

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 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.

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.

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!

This is a tough one. I always wear 11W. In the 11W, my toes feel they are rubbing up against the bulkhead more than usual, the 11.5W feels a little big... Gr.

Wonderful shoe! Usually I wear a 8.5 wide (C) and I knew Nike runs more narrow for me so I ordered a 9W. Perfect, lots of cushioning at ball of foot.
