My son picked these shoes out based on looks and description only and they fit perfectly. He said they feel like socks. They are lightweight and exactly what he was hoping they would be. Well done, Nike!

Awesome shoe. Wear them everyday to the gym and around the house. The no tongue had me kind of worried, but I love it. So much more comfortable and you don't even need to tie your shoes. Btw, shoes did come with a minor scratch on them. Called Zappos and they sent me a new pair the next day and gave me a great discount off. Awesome customer service!

By far the most comfortable running shoes I've ever bought. I don't have wide feet, so it fit perfectly. They are light, and black finish is just "cool."

This is a great shoe for someone with no foot issues. My son has very flat feet and it just didn't give him enough stability. They are cool looking but, unfortunately, his doc said not to wear them anymore.

Great shoes, lightweight and comfortable. Bought for my 16-year old son. He's quite happy with them for daily wear. He does race with kids on the track team at lunch time. Most days so these are terrific for that.
If you need a lot of arch support, you'd need an insert. These are fine for typical feet.

Love these shoes! Comfortable and provide excellent lateral support both inside and outside the gym. Well worth the money.

This is a great gym sneaker. I would definitely recommend getting a half size bigger and even then the shoe fits snug but that's the point. It gives a lot of stability in the heel and over the foot so you can transition from a light run to weight training seamlessly.

Absolutely incredible. I can't believe how much cushion and support these provide considering how light they are.

Just bought these and luckily i read some other posts and went half a size bigger. Fit perfect, very comfortable and look great. Width of the shoe (when i first put them on) felt tight, a bit awkward but nothing a little wearing out cant fix. Overall, worth the buy.

These shoes are awesome. Take's a couple of wears to break them in but they really hug your feet. I don't even wanna take them off. I like them so much I bought 2 pair. The Greg ones first and now the black one, thinking about the black and red ones as well.

These shoes were broken in on our summer trip to Disney World so they were put to the test! They were super comfortable and looked great. They held up throughout the trip and still look new. The only thing to beware of is that they fit a little snug, not because they are too small. It is just that they are designed to hug your feet.

My friends gave me these shoes for my birthday, and I absolutely love them! It's a great looking shoe, that feels just as comfortable. They felt a little stiff when I first got them, but they just take a little time to break in.

My 4th set of Nike Free Trainers. They always work well for me. I was unsure about how I'd like the tongue being 1pc but I got use to it and now I like it.

Great shoes, I use them for Indoor Tennis. They are very comfortable and already broke-in right out of the box. Traditional narrow nike fit, but much more comfortable from the get go.
Not sure on durability, the rubber sole is definitely softer, time will tell. I normally slide a bit on the tennis court, NOT with these shoes.
I'd recommend these shoes, they are good looking and comfortable!

Ordered these for my son on Monday around noon, I paid for regular shipping and they arrived before 4 p.m. on Tuesday. Not only was the shipping amazingly fast, but he loves the shoe.

Right out of the box, the most comfortable pair of athletic shoes ever! So lightweight, feels like being barefoot. Only possible issue would be for people with high insteps - lack of a tongue may not allow easy on/off.

Great sneaker for the gym. Because of the type of closure not great for longer runs. Your foot slips around on the inside of the shoe a little bit and can cause some irritation. For everything other than running is very comfortable.

I use these for cross fit & plyometric workouts and they perform great. Stable while still maintaining comfort. I find myself turning to these over the latest free runs. Similar to the free run 2 with the tongue attached to the shoe rather than separate, which is a better design in my opinion for free style shoes. The aesthetics with the criss cross Chinese finger trap design looks awesome and performs well preventing rollovers on lateral moves. Overall a great design and I look forward to more color ways.

I bought these shoes for the gym and doing PUMP workout because my feet tend to cramp up when doing squats and laterals. These shoes have only seemed to make it worse. I found and old, and far cheaper, pair of Nikes and started using those instead and they are better but I wish these had worked out. I do like the shoes so I kept them and now use them for anything other than working out.

These are very comfortable as walking shoes but have taken them on a couple of 5K runs and realized they work well compared to my New Balance Minimus.

Great pair of trainers. I was able to use them for gym and running. Lasted me a good 2 years of daily use before the tread started to give out. The key thing for me was that unlike previous Nikes I have owned they didnt peel apart. But rather the tread just wore out.

Seemed a little smaller than true size. I received the shoes very quickly after I placed order. I had to return them for a 1/2 size larger though, but the return process was very easy and everything worked out great. Would recommend using Zappos - Free Shipping & Returns makes you not have to worry about how true a size fits on different shoes.

I've owned several models of the Nike Free so I knew going into this that there was a great chance I'd like it a lot. The only way it's drastically different is the lack of a tongue. It's all one piece. You're basically shoving your foot inside a tube. Easiest way to put them on is leave the shoe on the floor, loosen up the laces as much as you can, and pull on the heel tab as your foot squeezes in. Once in, you're shoes are snug. The "finger trap" design of the shoe helps keep your foot and shoe connected. I've worn these for the better part of a day (8+ hours) with no discomfort. If you can get past the no tongue design of the shoe, you'll love these. I'd advise against getting them if you think that'll be too much of an issue for you.
