Customer Reviews Nike Free 5.0+

Cute shoes, but other order up at least 1/2 size. I normally wear an 11.5 in a running shoe, but had to order 12 in this shoe. This is my first pair of Nike shoes in a long time, so I'm not comparing to other Nike running shoes.

I love these shoes! I'm a CNA and am on my feet all day so they work great. The only reason I gave it a four star overall is because I feel the sizing runs small.

This shoe is lightweight, narrower than my New Balance 10v2 trails, and have more cushioning in the arch and heel cup. If you are not fully engrossed in minimalistic shoe culture, this is the shoe that will easily aid in that transition for you. I intended to use this for Zumba since I saw many soccer moms getting jiggy with it, but it turned out to have too much traction for rapid zumba pivoting. Alas, I still use it on my short, yet trying, runs. There's enough support and my arches aren't on fire after I'm finished.

These actually ran a little small but are great shoes. Zappos customer service took care of the problem without any hassle. Wonderful service!

I really wanted to make these work, but the sizing wasn't right as I moved up in sizes. I usually wear an 11 and had to order a full size larger. When I tried on the 11 in the store, the width felt good, but my toes were hitting the end. After sizing up twice via Zappos, I finally found the right length, but the toe box was so roomy they no longer had that lightweight, svelte feeling I had been impressed with initially. I ended up going with a Merrell lightweight cross trainer that stayed narrow in the larger sizes.

I wear 8.5 and they fit me perfectly. I ordered size 9 at first based on reviews in the internet and they fit ok but felt bulky and were slipping from by foot. My size was tight for a couple of hours I wore them at the house, and now they are perfect. I have to add that I always wear thin short socks. I have a neon yellow and they are awesome accent especially for my monotone colors wardrobe (blacks, grey, white and jeans). I never like to run until I purchased New Balance minimus and these are also great for running and doing chores like groceries etc.

Very good looking shoe. I own 3 other pairs of Nikes (athletics and kicks), and am typically a 6.5 in Nike. However, the 6.5 is just a bit too tight in these if I wear socks. I'd suggest going up a half size from your typical Nike shoe. For reference, I'm generally a 6 or 6.5 in other brands.

Nike Free's have had various stars in my closet but I bought these because I needed a lightweight, black sneaker for travel that could be used for running, beach, not melt when wet and coordinate with my outfits. I was only carrying on luggage for a 2 week trip so was looking for versatility. The shoe performed well although I had to go back and forth on the proper size. I am normally an 8.5 but in NIKE wear a 9.0. Had to go with a 9.5 on this model to accommodate my toes. In case you don't know, FREE's tend to pick up rocks then deposit them on the floor when you come inside.

A little more narrow than the previous Free runs but they break in pretty fast and are quite comfortable.

This shoe is really comfortable! I use these shoes a lot for when I'm in the gym instead of running only because they are lightweight and good for cross-training. However, they don't have a lot of arch support which is why I don't use them to run long distance. They were a bit small and I had to size up.

Hard to rate, as I was looking for a barefoot shoe, and this was way too much support and not flexible enough in mid-sole. Based on other reviews, I ordered up 1/2 size, and that was the right size for me.

These were a near-perfect fit in my Extensive search for a comfortable barefoot shoe. The Only thing that kept me from buying was they still cut their toes narrow, and my big toes now insist on having their space. Nike, take a lesson from Merrell and some of the other companies out there! I wear a size 11A in a perfect world, can often get by with a B. I ordered the 11. Did not like the black, no other colors available.

I've had Free Run shoes in the past and always wore a 9 but needed a 9.5 in these. I ran in them a few times and they were fine but then I tried the Brooks Pure Cadence and liked how they felt better (they have a little more support) so these became my gym shoes.

We bought this shoes to fit stringent school requirements. Overall, the fit is true; however, the quality could use improvement. Boys are rough on shoes and my boys tend to wear holes in the toe area of this style from Nike.

Love these shoes - cute and comfortable. Definitely run slightly small as some other reviewers mentioned - I usually wear a 9 and these were more comfortable in a 9.5.

I bought these shoes for my wife for Christmas and she loved the armory slate/dark blue colorway. The do fit small so I would go with at least a half size bigger if you're going to wear socks with them.

I got a pair of the 5.0's as a birthday gift in the atomic pink color - they are very cute and vibrant! I would recommend ordering half size up, especially if you have wider feet. Even though they are a bit tight on my feet, it's still comfortable.

I actually bought these for my wife. Her Brooks running shoes are a 12; size larger than her shoe size. These run a bit lg. She likes the style and feel. She's mostly doing treadmill work in these and using her brooks for outdoor running because of the extra support.

Nice shoe but had to return becuase my daughters toe was touching the end of it. It runs small!

I love these shoes but I accidently orderd my normal shoe size so make sure you order at least half a size up.

I can't really review these because they run so small, I have to return them. I've worn many a Nike running shoe in my life (probably go through 2 every year), and the Free always runs small. Size up, my friends!

Although I really like this sneaker I should have read the prior reviews more closely. I definitely needed to go up a size in these. I didn't realize it until I had them on for a complete day and now will have to wear a super thin sock with them since I can not return them.

I just printed my label to exchange these shoes for a larger size. I always wear a 9 and for running shoes I usually order 9.5. In this case the 9.5 was not big enough!

Cute shoe. Ordered it more for something cute to wear when sight seeing. Would not use it for working out because I don't think it is very supportive. I also had to order a full size bigger than my normal size. I usually have to go up a 1/2 size in Nike but this shoe runs particularly small.

These shoes are comfortable and stylish. I ordered a half size up (normally 7, ordered 7.5) and I'm glad I did, because they're still a bit snug. Also if you're not familiar with the materials used on the Free styles: it's more soft, cushion fabric rather than rigid construction. You cannot slide these shoes on and off as the heel will collapse under your foot. But they are so comfortable, I'll gladly spend the extra 10 seconds to tie them on. They grey/people color is perfect with jeans and the winter time, just enough pop of color without having to worry about them getting dirty in the rain/snow/slush. My new go-to shoe!
