I've bought Nike Free Runs before but I think this will be my last time. These ones I couldn't wear for more than an hour. I was walking around in the mall with these on and at the end of the day my feet were killing me! I was disappointed because they were so cute too!

These shoes are horrible compared to the Nike Free Run 2. I think all the positive reviews are from people that have narrow feet or don't run in them. The older generation of Nike Free's were more flexible and had a bigger toe box. The 5.0 Have a wide toe box, but it's shallow causing my bunion to scream. Shoes were a big disappointment to me. I bought a pair of Altra Torin's and prefer those. I still would like to see the Free Run 2's return, I would gladly pay $200.00 for them.

I was really disappointed in the look of these shoes. They looked like cheap knock-offs. They were also made a bit short. I'm a pretty true-to-size 8, but my big toe rubbed the inside of these like they were made too short. If they didn't look cheap, I'd exchange them for a half size bigger, but...you know.

I've worn women's' Nike athletic shoes for twenty years. I wear a size 6 in street shoes and a 6.5 in Nike women's athletic shoes. Always. This pair was so small I could barely fit my right foot into them. I felt like Cinderella's ugly step-sister trying to cram my too big foot into a slipper. I've over 50, and never owned a pair of size 7 shoes, so I can't imagine buying them bigger. Something is wrong with these. I got the bright pink color. Maybe other colors fit differently?

Worst shoe I've ever worn! I am a Nike brand through and through user. But from all the recommendations online, I was hugely disappointed. There is no support to be found on or in this shoe whatsoever. If you need a shoe for high or even low type impact, do not order this shoe.

Well bummer. I was really excited to get these shoes, then very disappointed when they arrived. They looked so cute in the photos & I loved all the fun bright colors, but... the shoes I received definitely ran a full size small. Based on other reviews I ordered 1/2 size larger than I'd normally wear in a running shoe, and they still just barely fit. I'd have been one big blister for sure had I actually worn these to run. Odd fit overall for me... I need a wider toe area due to a foot injury, and these look wide to the point of being bulbous (gah), yet somehow still rubbed & felt narrow in the toe. Not sure how that happens, but for me these just did not work in any way. Had to return.

First of all it is a very small cut shoe. From the sole to the top of your foot it is sparse. It is a very comfortable shoe and it would be if it were cut better. I sent for three different sizes and finally kept one. However, I need to put my shoe stretcher in it now because it tightens up on me. It is a a lot of money and I wish I had sent it back and not worn it out.

First, let me make it clear, this is NOT a running shoe for sports like track. I made the mistake of getting these, and I got shin splints like none other. Everyone on the team has had the same experience with these shoes, its a nightmare.

When I opened the box, the first thing I though was the shoe is very wide. Then I looked back in the box, and found there was a wrapper for cookies in the box! Then I found the shoe was slightly used. This is unacceptable. Returning these shoes and never shopping from Zappos again. Seriously, a cookie wrapper with crumbles everywhere?
