I wear a size 10 shoe normally and so I bought a size 10 despite what everyone was saying about them running small, and I'm glad I did. They fit me perfectly! Absolutely love this shoe, my favorite out of all the nikes I've had, and trust me, that's a lot! I recommend them!

Very happy with the shoes. I do wish I had listened to the other reviews I read before ordering. They do run very small in size so I ordered half a size bigger. Still, I had to return them for an even bigger size. I wear a 6.5 ended up with a 7.5.

Bought these on a whim, and I am in love with them. I get so many compliments! The orange is a nice peach color, not to orange. I didn't they would look as good as they did in person. Fit like typical Nike shoes, a band across the top does make them a little narrower than my last Nikes, but they will stretch. I also got them the day after I ordered them online! Why I love Zappos.

This order was my first for Zappos, but it won't be my last. I like this shoe very much. I don't know what size I wear because styles differ. The reviews said it ran small, so I ordered 5.5. However, the toe box is narrow top to sole. Side to side fits fine. So I returned the first pair and ordered 6. The left foot was still a little small, but after breaking in, is not uncomfortable; the right shoe is perfect. I would advise ordering up at least a half size, probably a whole size would be better. The arch is in the right place for me. I use it for walking--briskly--and working out at the gym. I had a little problem understanding the return website, but called Zappos. A very nice lady helped me, and the new shoes showed up within a day! Great experience.

I always get Nike Frees. One pair a year, every time one pair dies I order a new one. These Frees are way better than the last few generations. Great support for all types of
movement, good cushioning (these are trainers, NOT runners so don't expect that level of cush), moderate arch support. Super comfortable, and your foot really feels stable. I totally agree with the other reviews, these run a half size small. I am ALWAYS an 11.5 in Nike, and I had to get 12s in these.
All in all a good shoe, and totally cute and flashy looking.

I love these shoes! A bit snug at first, I think it might be the material. However after after a few wears they are perfect. So I would say they are very true to size. They match with everything and I get a ton of compliments on them!

I love these shoes! I have looked everywhere for them online and Zappos was the only site that had them for a decent price! They have become my favorite workout shoes. They provide great support and are awesome for the squat rack, too!

I purchased these sneakers for my daughter to go out there and move. She loves them but had to exchange them half size up. She tells me they are very comfortable and she is out there using them. Zappos exchange policy was effortless. Thank you for making my daughter happy.

These are great for my narrow feet! Zappos is not currently carrying many minimalist shoes in narrow widths so I am happy I found these. The off-center laces are nice too- no uncomfortable pressure on the top of my foot. Toe box and heel are nice and snug. All in all a great option.

I love these shoes! Don't be scared to go one full size up. I was, but after reading reviews I ordered a 9.5 even though I usually wear an 8.5. They fit perfectly. I was able to run a couple of miles with no problems after breaking them in for about a day. They are great shoes, I didn't know what I was missing!

I am obsessed with these shoes! They are lightweight. I usually wear a 6.5 in nike. My husband ordered these in 6.5 as a surprise but thankfully they fit, after reading all the reviews to go up a size. Yes, they are more snug fitting than my other nikes. I actually prefer it! I planned on using these to run in. I like that they hug my feet. The length is the same as my others. They just fit more narrow.

I ordered the medium orewood. I usually wear about a 7.5 but ordered these in a 8 because of the other reviews, which ended up being the right size. These were tight at first and I almost sent them back. I decided to wear them gently around the house for 2 days to see if they stretched...and they totally did (and I have wide feet). I wear these for everyday and also for kickboxing class. Love them!

I wrote one review on these 5.0v4 already when I purchased the army green cheetah prints ones, but I've returned with a follow-up. I've come back and purchased two additional pairs (the black/magenta/green and the grey/aqua/zigzag). I've had problems during my fitness journey; shin splits, weird heel issues, knee problems. These shoes along with serious stretching immediately after my runs has helped my knee and my heel issues tremendously. It's amazing. Yes, they run a full size small, they are somewhat narrow but they aren't in the least bit too narrow for my feet and I don't have particularly narrow feet. I came back to purchase two additional pairs because I've finally found the perfect running shoe for me and wanted to have them last a very long while. Oh, and they absolutely have to be broken in. Straight out the box and running three miles is no bueno. But wearing them on a hard & steady long walk and then to make groceries did the trick. So happy. Thank you Zappos! (And if you get the rare burgundy cheetah print ones, I'll buy those too!)

Love these sneakers. Happy that I listened to other reviews and ordered a half size up. I only wear Nikes and always get a size 6, but went for the 6.5. The sneakers are meant to be snug, which I personally prefer when training. They look great too!

This was a shoe that I was looking for, like ever. I listened to others and went up a size. I am happy that I did. It runs a bit narrow.

Love these! They run super small, I got a whole size bigger but would even consider a size and a half for more toe room, I use thin no show socks and they feel great with those.

I ordered a whole size up and it was too big. I am normally a 7 in Nike's and a 7 1/2 would be perfect. I am keeping them anyways because the 7 1/2 is sold out.

These are very comfortable to work out and run in. The only issue was I needed to order a full size up. I am usually a 7.5 but these run really small and I had to get an 8.5.

This is my 5th pair of Nike Free. I am addicted! I generally wear an 11, but thanks to a friend, I ordered and 11.5 because she mentioned that the reviews said the shoes ran a bit small. I agree. I have a complex about my big feet, and was really hesitant to go up another size, but I am glad I did! Once again, I am loving my Frees! Highly recommend!

Bought the army green cheetah print ones and they're fantastic. I can never remember the specific names of running shoes so I always have to start over at square one. I tried numerous styles on in different stores and could not find the comfort I needed in a style I liked. I decided, based on the reviews here, to purchase these at one size larger. They're great. I have some sort issue on the outside heel/side of my left foot recently but when I where these the pain is only minor if at all. They do run one full size small. The free and flex of the sole is awesome in that it allows my foot to fall as it naturally would but because these are 5.0 I still have good cushion. I recommend them and plan on buying one or two more colors so I'll have them for a long while. And as we all already know - Zappos service is stellar. I only wish they had both the other colors I desire so I wouldn't have to go elsewhere.

I absolutely love these shoes! I ordered them in a size 12 (I'm normally either an 11 or 11.5) and other than the tightness on the top of the foot just from them being new shoes, they fit perfectly. So for sure order at least a half size bigger. They're super lightweight and flexible (without losing their shape) so in other words, absolutely perfect for running/walking! The leopard print is super cute and girly without needing any bright colors giving lots of different choices for outfit pairings. Just a fabulous shoe all the way around.

I wear Nike Dunks in 9.5 and ordered these in 9.5. They fit perfect lengthwise. That being said, these shoes are VERY fitted in width, but I like my shoes like that because I have long, skinny feet. If you prefer wider shoes, you may have to go up in size. They are a bit difficult to get into as well, but as I said before, I like my shoes fitted. They have great arch support and are flexible. Aside from their function, they are also very cute. I wear Dunks and have not bought any other style of Nike in years. I bought these for at home workout purposes and possibly the gym. I cannot say if these are for running or training because I'm just getting into physical fitness. Overall, these are definitely worth the purchase. Aside from the product being great, I received my shoes in less than 24 hrs from ordering them. This is my first purchase from this website. Thanks Zappos! =o)

After reading the reviews, I decided to go up one full size. I usually wear a 9.5, so I ordered a 10.5. I put them on and they fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend going up a full size. The shipping was so fast. I'm very pleased. I get so many compliments on these shoes!
