Originally wanted to get a bright colorway as this is a running shoe, you need to keep it fun. I ended up getting the grey colorway and it still stylish and great for all around casual shoe even though this is a sports shoe. I gave it 4 star for style as it doesn't look nice looking down but from a third eye perspective these look sweet! It's only looking right down at your foot that it doesn't look that good. The comfort of these shoes is like nothing I've ever experienced. It's super soft and it just snugs your feet in. Once my pair came in I didn't even adjust the shoelace that much I just snugged it right clean in and started walking away with style like it's nobody's business. These are a bit on the tight size but Nike never failed with their shoe sizes for me as I'm a narrow foot and the fit is just perfect.

Wow! These are easily the most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn! These shoes fit really really well. The people saying that these shoes are somehow NOT "true to size" must be wearing extra thick socks are something. I've worn a size 9.5 since for the last 19 years and these Nike Free 5's fit just as good or better than any size 9.5 I've ever worn. I guess some folks don't understand how running shoes are supposed to fit, they're supposed to fit a bit "snug" not "loose" like everyday causal shoes. So I really hope Nike doesn't screw up the sizing next time due to ignorant reviews coming from people who either don't know how running shoes should fit and or just plain never knew what size shoe they should wear in the first place. So for the love of God please understand that a running shoe should fit snug & aren't designed to be worn with thick socks. These Nike Free 5's actually feel great WITHOUT socks, they where designed this way. So do yourself a favor and don't under these a size bigger than you normally buy unless you want a running shoe that's too large for your foot.

Just bought these and it's like walking on air. I have flat narrow feet and have a history of shin splints so I wanted a shoe that was not only lightweight but also offered arch support. These shoes don't even feel like they are on my feet, they are so lightweight. Can't wait to test them out on a long run. If you wear a 10, get an 11. They run small and are narrow.

I only run 6-10 miles per week. I typically wear a size 10 and had to get the 11 to fit correctly. This shoe is also a bit narrow. The shoe feels great standing or running. It's light and has great support in the heel and arch. I got the blue/green style and it is very bright. Good for running on the road, but too flashy to wear around for me. Overall a good sneaker and it looks like it will hold up well.

Love free shipping & quick turn around. :) Very happy I knew the size ran small so got size larger. Only an issue with the new Nike 5.0's but all other Nikes are about .5 too small.

These shoes were great for running while they lasted. I bought them in 2013 and it is now 2021. I don't remember when I threw them away but they lasted a very long time and were as light as a feather.

I am training for a marathon in the fall. I have been running for about five years. I have been through many shoes including Asics, Brooks, and other Nikes. These shoes are the best shoes that I have ever ran in. I will continue to get this model for as long as they make it! They are my favorites.

Great shoe. Felt a bit tight at first but broke in after a couple of runs. After reading some reviews, I also bough same shoe a half size bigger than my normal size (just in case) but ended up returning it.

These shoes have helped with my back pain. I'm a master painter and have always had back problems due to the fact that I'm always on my feet moving. After years of dealing with heel and back problems I finally decided to try these out and bought a pair for work. These shoes changed my life. I'm already on my 4th pair and have not had any pain in my heels or back since I bought my first pair. I would highly recommend these to anyone. I spend a lot of time on ladders and would get a lot of foot pain from it. Not anymore! Now I know these running shoes which I do run in them but I've benefited so much from using them at work that I felt compelled to share my experience.

These are by far my favorite running shoes. I run 4 days a week 3-5 miles. I have flat feet and struggled for years to find the right shoe. I switched to minimalist running with the Nike free line and have never looked back. I run in these without socks so I went with my normal size. After a few runs they broke in great and feel comfortable. Personally I wouldn't change from whatever size you wear in Nike.

I've been running on the streets and trails for over 35 years and these are the best shoes I've ever run in. If you are looking for cushioning and firm support these shoes are not for you. if you like to feel like you are nearly barefoot then give these a try. They run at least a half size small. I have had both my knees replaced and have R.A. but I get through the day in comfort. I have 5 pairs that I use in all phases of my life. Oh, and yes, very stylish. I get compliments all the time!

One of my favorite all-time pairs of shoes. They are so comfortable they make all my others shoes less desirable. And they really motivate me to walk and run more. I wear them *too* often, even if another pair of shoes would look better with what I'm wearing. And they are durable as all get out. I've put literally hundreds of miles on them and they are holding up fabulously.

Great shoe, the ratings from others is what sold me, the fit is true to size, had the shoe the following day after ordering, great service, competitive pricing, have purchased from Zappo's in the past and will continue to do so.

Great shoe, feel outstanding on your feet and Zappos is excellent. Also I ordered my first pair and they run small so had to return them. My replacement shoe was delivered before the ones I sent back were sent off and it was only three days. The second pair fit great - a little tight at first but you get used to it. They were so comfy I ordered a second pair. The colors are great. I use them in the gym and working out at the beach. I am also 63 years young and love the shoe.

These shoes are outstanding for work, especially if you are in the medical field, and you do not want to wear your Danskos/Crocs/whatever every day. They are lightweight, comfortable, all around great kicks. I got a shipping upgrade to boot, so the shoes came the day after I ordered. That was awesome.

Size 14, Black: Great shoe, as always. Nice transition from previous models. The lace "strings" that run down to the sole make it feel nice and snug/close to your foot.

Love my Nike Free 5.0+. I bought a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear. I've had several people tell me they like my shoes. The only drawback is they got dirty, wore them after a rain, I washed them, but couldn't get them like new clean . My chiropractor recommended Nike Free because they allow your feet to move the way they are meant to move and arch supports may make your feet muscles lazy.
