Customer Reviews Nike Free 5.0 V4

I was so excited to get these shoes, because I have been looking for a while. Love the pattern on the mostly white style, but the fit is not like any other Nike shoe I have had. I have worn Nike's forever and love them for their fit and comfort. This particular shoe is so narrow and loosening the laces did not help. The tongue is attached on one side and doesn't allow for as much adjustment as a regular style of tongue. The sole of the shoe gets very thin from the ball of the foot towards the toes. When walking, it seems like the sole is very uneven. I even went up half a size from my normal Nike size, after reading all of the reviews. Since those didn't fit, I ordered another pair in an entire size up to see if that would help. They were still just as tight throughout, but longer in length. Very disappointing for a Nike shoe, but I will try other styles for better fit and comfort.

These sneakers run small. Order half size or full size up. They are very uncomfortable and not flexible as other Nike Free styles I own.

I really loved the look of these shoes.. unfortunately they were so uncomfortable my feet have been hurting for days. I wore them around my house thinking I just needed to break them in, but my heels ached and my feet are so sore. I have narrow feet so the sizing really wasnt off, but I feel like they did run smaller than my other nike frees. I really was only going to wear them as a cute casual shoe, but my feet cannot take it. They look super cute and im really hearbroken because they cheetah and silver is such a nice looking shoe. Oh well...

I really like Nike Free, but this version wasn't that comfortable for me. The shoe doesn't seem to have as much cushion as other 5.0 versions. Also, the tongue is attached to the shoe on one side, which I found awkward.

Like almost all of the other reviewers, I found these to run incredibly small. I am a 6.5 and ordered a 7 since I have very narrow, tiny feet. No way did I think I would ever fit into a 7.5. Well it turns out I should have gone a whole size larger rather than just half of a size larger. I don't understand why Nike sized these this way but it is very frustrating. I am slightly pigeon toed and these curve way inward so they felt and looked very odd. I put these sneakers on and they were just plain old uncomfortable which was a bummer since I love the style. They look like more of a burgundy pictured in the photo, but in person they are much more of a dark magenta pink which I did not care for. The fabric does not stretch and they are a very confining shoe. I have a pair of Nike 3's that I love and I was hoping that I would love these just as much. As much as I like the style I will not be exchanging these for a different size. Nike missed the boat with these.

These shoes are great for casual wear but that's about it. I have always been a size 7 in Nike and these barely even laced up on my foot. They are extremely tight and narrow even though I have a narrow foot. They almost feel like I've squeezed my foot into a tight sock. After wearing them for a few days, they have already lost some of the structure and support.

Runs small and narrow!! I wear a size 9, and this shoe is about a size too small and very narrow!

Shoes aren't true to size for Nikes. They run small especially by the toes. I normally buy an 8.5 because they fit me comfortably but this shoe I definitely needed a 9.

I got these to wear for TurboFire, and they were awful. I had my podiatrist cousin look at them, and she said they have no support. They should only be worn by those with perfect feet. They didn't even feel comfortable just to stand in. Returning them. They are cute though.

I ordered these because I had a pair of the same model from a few years ago that I absolutely loved. While this newer version looked cute on my feet, they were too narrow in the toebox for me, even though I ordered the same size as I had in my old well-loved Nike Free 5.0 v4's. A bigger size will be too long so these are going back to Zappos and I will select different shoe.

I ordered three pairs of Nikes in the same size, 6.5. Two of the pairs fit perfectly, but I couldn't even get these on my foot. I'd say these run at least a full size small. Can't comment on overall comfort since I couldn't get them on!

This is one of the worst running shoes I've ever tried. It is mis-sized (need to size up one size), is tight on the top of my foot (never happened before) and the bottom of my foot burns when I try to run. I tried two sizes and I am done with Nike. I am going back to Brooks and Asics. They are more reliable and great quality running shoes!

I have another pair of older Nike Frees that I liked, but these turned out to be pretty horrible. There is a flap of foam fabric in the toe that is not secured down and after just a couple of wears started to bunch up. Now I get blisters any time I try to wear these. I have had them for about a month and can no longer wear them. Additionally, despite sizing up half a size as I usually do for Nikes my toes are right up to the end.

I have worn Nikes for over 30 years and never had a problem. This shoe ran small and the tongue is ragged on one side. It hurts! So the quality assurance guys fell down on this one. I finally covered it with moleskin but am not happy with the results. What's up, Nike?

I am not happy at all. I ordered the Friday before Christmas. The shoes did not come by the Tuesday before Christmas. The representative lied to me on the phone instead of checking with UPS and said they would be here Christmas Eve. They did not arrive. I called back again and got a lady that actually cared and checked. The shoes never shipped. She refunded me and said the shoes would be at my house express shipping the Monday after Christmas. The shoes finally showed up on Tuesday. I ordered a 9 and they came size 8½ so a little too tight. Overall, I am definitely not happy and I do not think that I will ever order again. I have a two and one year old daughters and I did not even have a Christmas present to open with them. Now, these shoes are too tight and not what I ordered. I am pretty upset about the whole situation.

I don't know how these can be called a "free" shoe. I just got them and the heel is huge and they are all padded. If that's what you like, fine, but I ordered these as a minimal shoe to replace my Nike Free TRs. I'm sorry but they will have to go back. They are cute and they do fit me but not my kind of shoe.

Very cute shoes, but after ONE week of school they are showing wear so badly! toe area is color has worn off. Most cheaply made shoe I've ever purchased! Ever!

I didn't notice when I ordered these that the laces are diagonal on top of the shoe! Not sure what the intention of this design is, but it made my foot look crooked and silly. Also, there is no toe room. They look great from the side, but looking down from the top, they are not attractive.

These are the worst pair of Nikes that I have ever owned. The stitching on the inside of the tongue rubs your foot raw. Don't recommend!

I've owned all of the previous versions of Nike Free shoes all in the same size. I was really disappointed in these shoes. They very right and uncomfortable. My feet hurt after working out in them.

So I always wear a 10 in Nike shoes. I have owned Nike shoes and run in them for over 5 years now, and with over 10 pairs of Nike shoes in the 5 years, I have never not bought a ten. When I bought a size ten in these shoes, they were so small. Way too tight, I returned them for a 10 1/2, and they were way too small again! Kind of ridiculous. The fit felt really nice, but I have never worn a 10 1/2 or 11 in my life. Make sure you listen to the reviews, so you don't have to go through what I went through, they run so small! I don't really get why Nike did that with this style, makes me feel like I have extremely big feet. Having to exchange them twice was not fun so take my advice and order a way bigger size than you usually wear.

Originally I had bought the size I normally wear, then ended up sending them back and getting a half size up because my normal size was way too tight. My advice is not to do this. A month later and they are really stretched out to the point where my foot is sliding around and off of the insole. These shoes which were really comfortable at first have now become something I wish I never purchased. Money out the window as I search for a different pair of shoes now.

I was so excited to get these in the Dark Armory Blue, but when I tried them on they were so tight and uncomfortable. I was so disappointed. I always wear a 8.5 and have plenty of room, but these felt like I was trying to shove my foot into a size 7. I did not order in a larger size, there was not enough cushion for me in this style.

Love the shoe, hate the fit! I wear Nike all the time. This shoe doesn't even come close. I normally wear 8 1/2 - 9. The 9 1/2 is too small.

This is by far the most uncomfortable sneaker I have ever put on my foot. It might be marked a medium width but I have a tiny narrow foot and this didn't fit me. They actually hurt!
