Customer Reviews Nike Anodyne DS

As a loyal Asics customer my whole athletic career, I thought I'd try Nikes and I picked probably the worst model to try. I guess I got excited that they were a great price and that is really cheap for running shoes. I figured Nike has a reputation as selling quality products but you get what you pay for. I have a low arch and mild overpronation and these have very little support and feel hard to run on and I don't think they were wide enough. Mostly they hurt. They look really cool and they're probably fine for non-cardio days but they're advertised as running shoes. I'm returning mine.

I am very satisfied with this purchase. I need a lot of arch support (I have terrible shin splints) and have my own orthotics (only half-length, not full) that can make it difficult to find shoes that work. I used to buy Asics religiously, but I noticed them wearing out inside the heel very quickly and decided to try Nikes. These ones are in replacement of the Nike Zoom Structure+ 15s that I bought a year ago. The Anodynes are comfortable, easily accepted my orthotics (it was a bit of a fight with the Zoom Structures), and look great.

Love these shoes. Super lightweight, fit great, and good support.

I really like these shoes. They're very lightweight and a great color combo. Not a lot of arch support so I don't work out in them, but they're really good shoes to have to wear around...just not to run in.

These shoes are are so cute but the insoles cannot be removed to accommodate orthotics so sadly I had to return them. Otherwise they seem true to size and are very comfortable. Insoles are glued firmly in place though so not good for those of us with problem feet.

These are great shoes by Nike. There are few shoes by Nike that I would give a bad rap to. I mostly use these for working out and everyday use. They are super comfortable and colorful. I am an RN and always get compliments about my shoe style. This pair is no exception.

This is a great running shoe. I run on an indoor track and shoe was true to size. Also I do light weight lifting in this shoe.

I love these! I tried many shoes from Zappos before deciding on these. They are so comfy which is my main deciding factor but they also are cute. Many others I tried on weren't comfortable on the top of my foot, the heel or the pinky toe. I have a little bit of a wide foot but not crazy wide.

Love the colors and the support is great for jogging and walking - I hadn't bought new sneakers in a long time so these feel amazing to me. Still breaking them in but so far they feel great!

Very pleased with this pair of shoes. Comfortable, good looking, and supportive. So far, holding up well in my workouts. I also love the color scheme.

Nike makes good running shoes and this one is no exception. They always run small so up your size at least a half size. Love the bright colors of late. Hopefully it will help with being seen out on the road!

Bought these shoes to use in addition to the Dart 9's I purchased last year. The fit is perfect, as is always my experience with Nike, and the comfort is unreal! These are some seriously gorgeous tennis shoes too. I bought the purple (my favorite color) and I'm so in love with them and their support, I've decided to use them solely as my shoes for work as a waitress/hostess and to buy another pair of Nikes for running (just don't want to get these beautiful babies dirty!!). Don't get me wrong, they're great for running and training as well. Very impressed with the shoe and as always, Zappos' customer service and fast shipping.

These are true to size. When I run, it feels like I'm on a trampoline. These are the best running shoes that I have ever worn. The color is wonderful too.

Comfortable fit; great for my gait. I got these specifically because I tend to overpronate and they help. They are terrific for my needs.

Love them but I only wear them for short periods...to the gym and on walks with my dogs. Once at the gym I change into cycling shoes (with cleats). Fit is good a bit snug but ordering half size up would be too much I think. So wear thinner socks.

I will admit I bought these for the color, not performance. But I'm very satisfied. I also ordered the "Nike Lunar Forever 2" to compare. I liked these much better. The Lunars had a much stiffer feel that seemed to hurt my foot after only walking around the house. The Anodyne, on the other hand, was flexible yet with good support. I am an occasional runner so I don't need a shoe to be top-of-the-line. This is good all-around shoe with medium support. I also get lots of compliments on the color.

Wow, I just miss the old Lunartrainer. I can't wear a truly minimalist shoe and this seemed to fit the bill for modest overpronation control plus cushioning and support. But Nike has done something, in my humble opinion, to their last/upper design so that when the ball of my foot bends, a hard crease forms on the top of the shoe and my foot just can't take it. Also felt large compared to other 7.5s I ordered and already own. Returned.

This shoe was just uncomfortable. I wore them to the gym once and did a 20 minute brisk walk on the treadmill. The side of my left foot was numb and the soles just feel hard. I decided to keep them and put them on again for my next gym trip. Before I could even get out of the house the top of my foot was hurting from the shoe. I am returning these and ordering my Asics. One thing I have come to realize is Nike is just not for me. I have tried and tried to wear their athletic shoes and they are just not made for what I need. Cute colors and design. They looked good on my feet! But for my type of workouts they just aren't going to work.
