I have worn the Free Runs for years and always wore a 10. I had to return two size 10s because they were too small.

I love the style of the Nike Free 5.0+. I am a little disappointed with the comfort of the shoe because I bought them to wear to work and I stand on my feet all day long. They are definitely stylish, and a good running shoe. I found that were a bit snug. I am usually a 7.5, and probably should have ordered an 8.

I have worn Nike Free 3 size 6 and they were perfect for Zumba. Ordered both the 6 and 6.5 and both are too small. Bummed...

My daughter loves these shoes. They do run about 1/2 size to a full size smaller. So order up. We ordered three pairs before we got the right size. Zappos is great.

I love the color selections and the wide foot bed. I don't love the sizing (must order 1/2 half size up) and the tongue is too short and the laces tie up on your foot instead. Nike needs to spend a little more time on thinking this one out. The lightweight shoe is very comfortable, but short in length so be mindful of this when ordering.

Very cute shoes. Normally I wear an 8-8 1/2 in sandals, and thought an 8 1/2 would fit well. But I definitely recommend sizing up a half a size, to even a full size larger because I'm going to send mine back for a size 9 (the big toe is getting cramped). Gotta love Zappos for the quick/free shipping though!

I loved these shoes to death, they are super cute and comfortable. I found that they were perfect for running and working out except for one minor issue. When it came to wearing them on the gym floor they had zero traction. I learned this the hard way, as I ended up actually tearing my ACL wearing these bad boys. I am not saying they are 100 percent to blame, but they were a big contributor as my feet were stuck to the floor. As I said, they are amazing regardless and I would recommend them for running alone.

Love the shoe but have to exchange it for a half size larger. I normally wear an 8.5 but have to get a 9.

Love these shoes. They are light weight and very supportive. I would definitely recommend ordering a 1/2 size larger as they do run small. I wear them as everyday shoes and feel that they are very supportive and comfortable.

This is the 3rd pair of Nike Free's I've bought and I love them. Lightweight and super comfy. I have severe bunions and hammertoe so the flexible fabric is great. They fit pretty true to size. I wear a 9 1/2. Primary activities in these kicks are uphill walking (treadmill), elliptical, and sidewalk walking with my dog. They're also great to travel with since they flatten out and are lightweight.

This is a cute shoe with a lot of cush and would go great with capris or jeans. The only problem I had was that the toe box was too big and the front of my feet didn't feel like they were supported. I always have to order a half size up with Nike, which I did and the length was fine. Sorry to have to return them.

Love them! Had to get 1 size up from my normal size but they look great. Wouldn't use them to run a 5k but they are good 'walking around' shoes.

Tight in the toes and thin under the ball of your foot even though I ordered 1/2 size larger than normal. Not good for me. I have recurrent pain there and these were uncomfortable in that area, right out of the box.

I have only worn these shoes once and the black is starting to wear off on the top of the shoes. They also run small. I bought Nike shoes similar to these and am a size 10 in the other and in these the 10 seems small. I already threw away the box so I do not know if I can return them...

My daughter likes these shoes. If I had it my way, I would have returned them because just after a few days, the tips of the shoes rubbed off and now have small white areas.

I already had a pair of these sneakers, in size 7.5 that fit me perfectly and I wear all the time, so when I wanted to buy a second pair I figured I'd be safe to get the same size. When my 2nd pair from here came in the mail, I immediately tried them on and they were waaay too small! I'm still ordering a second pair and returning the 7.5., but I'm getting an 8.

I normally wear a Nike women's 10. I tried them on in a store and they were super comfortable but too small so I ordered a 10½ and they were hard and the total opposite of comfortable! That was such a let down!

I won't buy these again. They are made for people with narrow feet. I had to buy a full size larger than I normally buy just to get my feet in the shoes and make the laces as loose as they can go. They did break in fast though.

I love the look of the free runs, but they are horribly uncomfortable for running. There's not a lot of support and maybe this is the point, but for me, it's not gonna work for running. I have another pair of Nike's with a lot more arch support that I'll use. I will continue to use these for running errands and walking though. For sizing, I normally wear a 9 in Nike and I had to size up to a 9.5.

Bought the "barely orange" & blue ones. Definitely were not barely orange, but more like barely yellow. They are much darker than the picture and shoes make your feet look wide. Keeping them a few more days to see of they grow on me but if not, ill be sending them back. Just make sure you google pictures before buying to see true color!

Runs small -- both short and narrow. the lace arrangement seems akimbo -- not quite aligned to the toe of the shoe. Nice color. Would be better with contrasting laces.

Great shoe; order 1/2 size greater as with most Nike's. But the atomic red is not red. It is the same orange color as Nike's shoebox. I can't find red sneakers. So sad these have to go back.

I have bought 4 prior versions of this shoe, the 3, the 4, etc. and have loved them. These shoes are much tighter than previous versions so beware. I am normally a 9.5 but always order a 10 in Nikes. I will be returning the size 10 I got of these versions and exchanging them for at least a 10.5.
