Customer Reviews Nike Flex Experience Run

These look great and are very cushy. I bought them for long walks and hikes and very light running and they're comfortable, though I quickly started to notice that they pinch in the back of my right foot. I attribute it mainly to the fact that my right foot is a tad larger than my left, and am hoping that with some squashing it down and some easing into them they'll get more comfortable.

Sadly, I had to return these. I love Nike for their durability so this brand was my first choice. And while I was excited to receive my shoes so quickly, it was very disappointing that I couldn't even tie them up! I do have a wide foot and high arch, so perhaps it was just a mismatch of attributes. But the moment I put them on, I noticed they were so tight at the ball of my foot that the seaming where the tongue is sewn into the shoe pressed into my foot, and I wasn't even standing yet! I had plenty of room in the length of the shoe, so the actual sizing was correct. Hoping to have better luck with my exchange!

I love these. They are SUPER light weight. Not a ton of arch support but I put my Spenco inserts in and now they're great (you have to tug on the original inserts to get them out, but they come out without hurting anything). I used to think Nike's weren't true to size, but I'm wearing my normal shoe size and they feel fine.

This shoe is super comfortable and feels like slippers on my feet. It is very different than any running shoes I have typically worn as it is much more flexible and less rigid. I tend to pronate a bit, so time will tell whether or not it provides enough support. Since I'm not logging as many miles as in the past I hope it will be fine for walking, light running and cross-training. Also, it is a tad bit big (I always size up in a fitness shoe) so I put in a foam pad and it now fits perfectly; the 7-1/2 would likely have felt too tight. The shoe is cute as can be and I've gotten many compliments! Love the berry/blue color combo!

I wanted these to work so bad (I almost kept them because I loved the way they looked and felt...super light). Let's be honest...Nike's shoes don't work well for wide feet. Too painful to keep. I'm an 8 in any running shoe. I have to go up 1/2 size in Nike.

I bought them in blue and they've been my 5k training shoes. I loved them so much I just bought them in pink, too. :) Good cheaper shoe.

Great for walking around and running errands. I have wide feet and at first when I put them on they seemed tight around the widest part of my feet. I then adjusted the laces and I wear them everywhere now! I love the look of them!

These are really nice shoes. They are very comfortable, with a little support for underpronation and plenty of cushion. They are lightweight and seem to fit true to size. I still had to return them because I just didn't like the way they looked. With a white sole on a white background in the picture, I couldn't tell how much white there was.

These are not comfortable for me. After a few hours on my feet, my back hurt, and I had sore feet. They were just as bad during a run, so they would not work for either purpose. They may be good for others, but not for me at this point. I always have to order up in Nikes.

These shoes are very lightweight and felt comfortable at first, but after a couple hours my feet really ached especially right at the toe box where the material is a little bit tough. If you have a wider foot or bunions, I'd suggest getting a wide width in these or trying a different shoe. The arch support wasn't very great. They look cute and would be good for people who have narrow feet.

These shoes are so cute and got many compliments. I have to give them a bad review because they hurt my arches really bad! I'm pretty sure I have almost flat feet, so that could be the problem.

More fashion than function. The arch was too far back on my foot, although overall the sizing was correct for my 8.5 size. Not a lot of cushioning either. Cute but not that serious of a shoe.

I found these shoes just your average running shoes. I've had them so far for about 2 months and I've found that they feel like my old Adidas that were pretty cheap. I didn't think that the shoes were particularly bad or good but some things I did like were the grip is pretty good on them and they don't get too hot when you're running. I also own the Nike revolution shoes and I expected these to be slightly better than them but they ended up having pretty much the same feel and same weight. (I use these for hs track.)

These are the most uncomfortable shoes to run in. They give me shin splints. For just walking around they are great and good looking. I would not buy these again for running.

I love the way these shoes look - they are so cute and stylish. I bought the gray with the pink accents and I love the colors. However, I was pretty disappointed with the cushioning and support. I bought these mainly for cross training (like lifting weights, using the elliptical, doing some cardio classes). I just walked around my house in them and jumped up and down a little, and I feel like the cushioning is virtually non-existent. The shoes feel like walking on cardboard to me. I'm surprised that other people have written about the great cushioning on these shoes. I guess I'm used to Asics, which have a ton of cushioning and support. As much as I love the look of these shoes, I'll probably have to return them. I'm bummed.

Not happy with these shoes, I would rather pay a little more and get the Nike Free Runs that I know are comfortable and last. These felt cheap right out of the box and the tongue is positioned funny.

Great looking shoe but sadly have to send it back. The seams on the inside of the shoe at the bottom of the laces are so bulky that they are excruciatingly painful. I will try one more pair but I think this may be a problem with the shoe overall. We'll see.

Holy cow! Ouch! My foot widens out across the ball and these totally squeezed it! I sent them back and got the Nike Flex Experience Run 2, and my feet are much happier! (FYI -- I underpronate, have high arches, and am a substitute teacher, walk my dog 3.5 miles a day, and spend lots of time on my feet. The shoe arches don't snug up against mine, but that is good for me.)

I did not like these shoes at all. first pair of Nike's i haven't been satisfied with. I would not be able to workout in these for longer than 10 minutes. They felt awful on my feet and actually hurt when i put them on. Yes they are very light weight which is good but i felt if i did any jumping in these then they would fall apart. I ordered the dark grey and bright pink and i noticed the sole and shoe laces were two different colors. It looked tacky and cheap. Going to have to return them. Only good thing about them is they were TTS.

I was excited about trying this style of Nike shoe, however, I was disappointed to try them on and feel how stiff the sole and bottom of the shoes felt. They provide little to no cushioning. This might be acceptable to anyone who prefers the barefoot running experience. I prefer a little more cushioning, so I sent these back. I would say though they run true to size and the colors are more vibrant than the pictures provide here.

I got this shoes this week and just started using them two days ago for running. Love the style, but boy it doesn't have much support. The back of my ankles started to blister. The size do fit perfectly and I am a true size 6.

These look fantastic but they're not really comfortable. The area where the laces begin digs into my foot. Unfortunately, I'll have to return them.

i would repurchase this shoe only on the basis of it being very fashionable, its a really pretty shoe but personally I wont use this shoe for running at all. its too soft and offers little support.

Horrible. Just like another customer said. The way the laces are designed, the bottom lace sits right on the bone and causes PAIN. Hate this design. I still like Nike, but not this one.

Moderate to serious runners beware! These are by no means real running sneakers. I'd say they're one step up from converse. I'm not a hardcore runner; I run about 2 miles 3-4 times/week, but these are still not the sneakers for me. They're cute, but more for the "I look like I worked out but I really didn't."
