Customer Reviews Nike Kids Free Run 5.0 (Big Kid)

This is my son's second pair of Nike Frees and he loves them and wears them everywhere for everything. I'm excited because when he grows out of this pair, they will fit me!

I am usually a size 8.5 in womens but I couldn't find a pair of shoes that were as light as I was wanting! I bought a size 7 and they are a little tight at first but are slowly stretching out! Super light and definitely bright! I love them!

Great shoes! I wear an 8.5 in women so I got the 7 in boys. Snug fit at first and then stretched them out. I like the lightweight feel of the shoe but the insole is cheap so I changed them. Overall great running shoe and plan on getting another pair soon.

Both my sons love these shoes!! We order them every time they need a new pair... light weight, cushion, and easy on! Be prepared to replace if your son only wears one pair of shoes, as these can wear quickly with active boys...

I think these shoes are awesome. My son got a pair a couple of weeks ago and he loves them and they also look great on redheads with lots of freckles.

My son normally wears 5.5 youth in both Nike and Adidas. The 6.5 fit him (a little snug). I wish they had a size 7. I was surprised at how small they run but he loves them so we are keeping them. He is 11 and I am sure these won't fit next summer. Great quality shoe and lots of compliments.

I received the shoes much faster than I expected & my son loved them. Everything I have ordered as been correct and the shoes have been great! Thanks Zappos!

I have tried going up 1/2 a size, then a full size, but these shoes are entirely narrow. Even for a kid who has never been diagnosed with a 'wide' foot. Hopefully, Nike will get it right with the 6.0.

I ordered these shoes for my godson who is in a size 4 right now (his current shoes are DC's). I thought I'd get a 1/2 size larger so I ordered a 4 1/2 to give him some room to grow in. These shoes ran so small -- narrow and short, that I need to re-order him a full size larger. They are so comfy! I wear a 3 1/2 in kids athletic shoes and a 5 1/2 in women's, but these fit me perfect so they definitely run a full size larger than the average shoe! I think I will keep these for myself.

My son loves these mainly because of the slim style and being so light weight. This is huge because he normally wears the flat skater shoe that has zero support for his foot. We have tried many times to get him into a true athletic shoe and we would buy them only to sit on a shelf until they don't fit. :( So we highly recommend!

Sneaker looks great, FUN, BUT...way too narrow, to the point laces cannot even be tied. Returning this size, too small, and keeping larger size, BUT I need to purchase new laces to fit. Laces way too short.

My son is very happy with these shoes. They do run very small, so order a size up. They are also narrow, but he hasn't complained. He wears them every day.

These shoes are light weight, comfortable, and perfect for everyday use. I usually order sneakers half a size up so I could have room for socks and flexibility. I'm normally a size 5 in women's and 3-3.5 in kids. I had to order these in a 4 and with a little loosening of the laces they fit perfect!

Our son has average feet but these are too tight around the area between the instep and the heel. Such a bummer! It could be a great summer shoe! Darn.

These shoes lasted less than 3 months on a 10 year old boy! They are totally destroyed! Holes in the upper. I am sure the platform is fine but the upper continues to breakdown completely!

My 10 year old daughter loved the neon yellow (size 5.5), but alas, I did not pay attention to the other customer reviews...the shoes are narrow. She does not wear a "wide" in any style shoe, but these have to go back, as she could not even wear them with the laces spread full apart.

Great shoe. My son is very happy with this line of Nikes. The only problem is that they are light and get filthy pretty easily. They are impossible to clean. I recommend buying the Free Runs in a darker color. They have a large selection of colors.

These sneakers are not the best Nike product. The shoelaces are extremely short for the sneaker and one of them has already broken within the first month of wear. It's not as durable as some other Nike sneakers we have purchased. Of course my son lives them for their look and comfort but the quality is poor.

Purchased for my son in 8th grade. Fit well, and like the orange accents. Hard to put on. Really needs a tab at the heel to hold onto - prior versions of this style had that and made it much easier to put on.

My son has worn lots of Nike shoes and this is the first pair he has not liked. These were too tight...he tried them in a 6.5 and a 7 and both were too tight across the mesh on the side and the top so these went back. He even tried them in a sports store here and the man who helped us said they are getting a lot of complaints on these and returns for the same reason. The laces also barely long enough. He ended up with an Under Armour pair that were really comfortable.

These shoes look great but it was impossible finding a pair that fit my 8 year old because they seem to run very narrow and every pair we tried was very, very tight.

I ordered these for my son who is nine. He currently has a pair of Nike Free Runs so I figured these would work. They are much more narrow than his current pair and have really short laces that you can barely tie, let alone put in a double knot which he likes to do. I'm sending them back.

I bought these shoes for my active son a little over a month ago but they look like I bought them a year ago. The mesh has torn and frayed. The laces have frayed. The sole has worn to nothing. A very bad value for the money.

Worst sneakers ever! They fell apart so quickly. Will never buy Nike again - too expensive, poor quality.

I have purchased 2 of these shoes in the last 2 months the first pair I got the left front of the shoe ripped apart. I like the style of the shoe so I got another pair but to have the same problem within 2 or 3 weeks the left front of the shoe ripped off. Overall these shoes need some work but the style is cool.
