Customer Reviews Nike Free 5.0 V4

Enjoying these shoes. Very light construction and great for cross training. Order full size up. Also, the tongue comes up high, so you need to wear a full sock for comfort.

I ordered these in a 6.5 (I'm usually a 6) bc I read all of the other reviews, but I'm going to have to return them and get a 6. Maybe these fit differently in larger sizes, but if you have a small foot, stick to your size!

These shoes run a bit narrow and I ended up returning them for a larger size. Normally I wear a size 10 but had to get the size 11. I love the grey color and they are sturdy.

I am normally a 12 in Nike's, and these were too small. Really cute, though. Did take some work to get on, but felt good once I got them on. I have narrow feet, though...

Nice shoes overall, very similar to the other Nike Free 5.0 predecessors. Unlike the others, has a separate tongue (not an all-one-piece stretchy liner). Tongue is attached to shoe all along one side, is only open on the other side. Not a bad thing. However, the shoe fits very narrow. I normally wear A to AA width, and this just fits me. Feels a bit tight even. And I almost don't have enough lace to tie a knot. As usual, it runs short in the length also, by a half-size or a tad more. If you don't have narrow feet, I don't see how you can fit in this shoe. Ought to be on clearance due to the size issue.

I had really high expectations for these shoes.. they are very cute but just not very comfortable

These shoes are not comfortable! I l own 10+ pairs of Nike and I use Nike almost every day bc my job requires me to stand / walk all the time... These shoes feel too rigid. Did not like. I am returning them

Cute running shoes but they are more narrow and tight. I have a fairly narrow foot. I hardly wear them. I prefer other Nike Free styles to this one.

I REALLY wanted to love these because the design is absolutely adorable. However, these are way too tight (they feel like a narrow width) and feel like they are a half size small. In addition, when trying to put these on, the tongue kind of rolls inward and doesn't flatten out like a traditional sneaker. Sadly, these are going back. Too bad because they are REALLY, REALLY cute.

Felt much smaller than normal Nike sizes. I wanted to love these and kept wearing them to try and break them in but no luck. They look cute though.

This shoe is strangely made. The tongue and laces are slightly off center. The tongue is a soft fabric with a surged edging, which rubs against my foot and makes for an uncomfortable wear. Wearing thick socks did not help. The shoes run really small (I normally wear a 7.5 but wear an 8.5 in Nikes.) The pale gray leopard print against the white is cute.

I love the design but they were way way way too small for my foot. Narrow and short. I had to give them to my mother. I bought my size (9.5) but they fit like an 8 (my mother's size).

These are super cute shoes with good side support but absolutely no padding on the bottom. After two weeks I developed terrible pain in my left foot from the running and jumping that I do in classes. Adding inserts helped but not enough and also further drove up the cost of the shoe. They are quite narrow - not just at the toe - but the whole shoe so that I felt like I was walking on the side of the shoe. Finally, the tongue is askew which is cute but actually makes if difficult to put the shoe on and the tongue comfortably in place. Because of their narrowness I ordered a full size up to get a decent fit.

I will be sending these back. They give no arch support, run small, and narrow! I tried 7.5 and the 8. The 8 felt great but something in the make on top of my foot when walking would pinch. Very odd!

I was pleasantly surprised as the leopard print of these shoes is way nicer than the online picture. The shoes look odd because the placement of the tongue and laces is actually not centered as almost every other pair of sneakers is. These are quite a bit off-center which I missed from the pictures. As a consequence the sewing on the inside of the tongue and the wide tongue itself rubs against the side of your foot and baby toe, as opposed to sitting on top of your foot. This made the shoe really uncomfortable. These shoes are narrow, which is ok for my narrow foot, but if you want to wear a thick sock you may be uncomfortable in your typical sneaker size. The cushioning on the bottom of the shoe is great but tapers off by the toe. So while the shoe feels great support-wise when you're standing still, it's almost like walking barefoot on your toes which does not feel good. Returning these. Oddly, purchased 2 other pairs of Nikes and those are not true to size...

Awesomely cute shoe! Good arch support, but narrow and I had to order a full size larger than I normally wear.

I have a narrow foot and these were very snug. I also usually wear a 7.5 in Nikes but after reading the reviews, I ordered an 8 & they still didn't work. Not only were they snug but the fabric pulled in certain spots which I could imagine them being permanent wrinkles. In a nutshell...they were very awkward.

These shoes run small. I wear a size 5. I always order 6 in tennis shoes; but I really needed a 6.5. They are not very comfortable but if you replace the insole with a gel sole you are in business. Nice looking shoe.

Okay, but not what I was looking for. I normally wear a 7.5 and ordered a half size up. While the shoes did fit, they felt extremely stiff. They are not anything like my soft Nike Free 5.0s that I purchased in 2013. While I do like the color, I do not like the fit enough to keep these. I am also not a fan of the asymmetrical design. It feels tighter on the inside of my foot, and it feels very weird compared to my other Nike Free shoes.

I bought these because I needed an all white shoe. I liked the style, but they were a bit snug all over and I did not have enough room in the toebox. Something funky with the arch support that I felt would bother my plantar fascia.

These shoes run small with less support than regular Nikes. The verdict is still out on whether I really enjoy walking with them on my feet. The customer service at Zappos is amazing though! They sent me the next size up next day without even receiving the other smaller shoes!

I loved the subdued animal print - a little goes a long way for me (so Snooki, please take note). I am typically an 8.5; however, I have the Nike Free 7.0 in a 9 (I bought that pair at an outlet store so who knows why I bought the 9?!). But Based on my "Previous Nike Free Experience" I ordered an 8.5 and my feet hated me (super uncomfortable). So I exchanged them for a 9, which are still too small. I am a Physical Therapist so I am constantly on my feet and these shoes failed me miserably. I even had to take out the "insoles" of the sneaker halfway through my shift in order to be remotely comfortable. However, Nicole (a wonderful Customer Service Rep) made the exchange policy so pleasant and easy! Pretty sure we are friends now and I've never met her in my life. Style is great. Comfort is bad news bears. My advice - Order at least half a size up from your normal size.

These are great shoes, very light weight, great for traveling, but maybe not the best running shoes. I like the simple but chic style. The fit is not the complete best for narrow feet since they run very small! I needed a full size up. But at the end of the day, they are comfortable and cute so I will keep them.

I bought the neutral grey/white/acthracite as I thought they'd be an alternative to the sold-out-in-my-size grey and white leopard print version. Ladies the ones I bought are not nearly as funky as the leopard print. They basically look like plain white tennis shoes with a touch of silvery grey, nothing that would stand out like the leopard. Also, as many people have said they definitely run small - I am always a size 7. I ordered the 8 in these and they fit well.
