My nephew loves his shoes. I gave them to him for Christmas. Service is great and the next day delivery awesome to.

My son loves these shoes and so do I! The bright colors are super cute and he loves how comfy they are. They run a bit wide, but that is perfect for him. The Neon Green does get dirty quite easily but other than that, this is a great shoe for an active 6 year old boy. I will be buying him another pair in a different color!

My two boys have been wearing these daily since mid-August (this and the smaller kid version with velcro). They are rough on shoes and we can normally see signs of wear within a month (if not sooner) and they get to 'ugly' by now. These are showing some signs of minor wear, but look great after daily use for four months and are still my kids' favorite go-to shoe for both of them. These flexible shoes (another thing I love!) are made to take whatever my crazy active boys do to them, and we will be buying more when they outgrow them. I highly recommend them!

These are good basic shoes for kids. I bought them for our son to wear to school. He has two pairs. They seem to wash well (in the washer and dryer).

"They make me run fast and feel like a cloud, Mom." I'm fairly certain that this is the reason we've converted to Nike Free Fun 5.0 shoes for our kids. They love them, they never complain about their feet no matter how long they run or walk in these shoes. Nike Free 5.0's additional cushioning (compared to earlier versions of Frees) make them a hit. They fit maybe a half size larger than other running shoes, so bear that in mind when ordering. I consider this room to grow!

These sneakers are great. My son loves them - they're very cool looking too! He slips them off and on easily as well.

These are the only shoes my kids love and wear without any complaints. These are the third pair I've purchased. They fit true to size.

My 7 year old son loves these! He swears they make him run faster than he ever has before. He picked the black and wears them for play, to school and to church. They're holding up beautifully and he often comments about them being the most comfortable pair of shoes he's ever had. We'll definitely buy these again!

I bought these for my 6 year old son to wear for his first day at Kindergarten. He loves them! They are very true to size and comfortable! We bought another pair in a different color because he loved them so much.

Great shoe. My 5 yr old loves them. They are light weight and are holding up well. Nike's seem to hold up the best for us -- we had Stride Rites that we just bought in the fall, and they didn't last through the spring. My 2 yr old is wearing a hand-me-down pair of Nike's so I looked specifically for shoes from this brand. So far, not disappointed. My 5 yr old wears these daily to daycare where they have outdoor play 3X a day.

My son really loves his new shoes! If he gets the smallest speck of dirt on them he immediately cleans it off which is saying a lot since he's only 12. I would recommend this shoe and specifically Zappos to anyone! It made finding the specific shoe he wanted, the size he needed, and the price I wanted to buy it, very easy.

My son has slightly wide feet and fell in love with this shoe as soon as he put it on. I think it felt the most natural of all the shoes he tried that day. They are very lightweight and he has been wearing them every day and has not looked back. He uses them mainly for running around at school, not for competitive sports.

I just have to share that my son has been wearing these shoes since school began almost 9 months ago!!! He wears them every day to school, basketball, baseball and piano recitals and they have held up better than any shoe I have ever put either of my sons in. He wears the pair that are not lace ups and getting ready to leave has never been easier. These are great.

I am purchasing my 3rd pair of these for my just-turned 5-year-old. He likes them because they are smaller versions of his big brother's shoes - calls them his fast shoes. They are very comfortable and have held up pretty well. Our first pair (that we currently use as back-up play/mud shoes) are finally starting to show wear (front toe flap is now loose, shoe strings fraying, treads wearing, etc. after about 6 months of hard play. If I had to come up with negatives, the only ones are that the shoe strings don't stay tied as well as I'd like (his preschool teachers don't love this part) so double-knotting is a must, and because the toe box is so round in the smaller sizes (11, 12) he can't tell which shoe goes on which foot so he often has them on the wrong feet (even I have to be careful about this because I have a hard time sometimes). But these are minor and we will continue to buy them.

Really cute shoes! They do run a half size smaller so I had to send them back for a bigger size. But the service was awesome and the shoes are great.

These look good and comfortable but not very durable. They lasted about four months of daily wear on my five year old. That is not unexpected since these are very lightweight running shoes.

This shoe is super cute and great for summer but don't be fooled. It is POOR quality. Within two and a half weeks (and my son hasn't even worn them every day) two of the lace eyelet busted and one more is about to give. I feel that the productive is either defective or just really flimsy. When spending the money on a brand like Nike I expect the shoe to be of high quality and last at least a season. Shame on you Nike.

This shoe was misleading. It came up in my search for girls shoes, and when it arrived there was a sticker in the shoe saying it is ‘Boys size 12” which is bigger than a girls size 12 and too large to fit my daughter comfortably, so I am returning it.

Don't waste your money. The quality of this shoe is terrible. They look great at first -- and my son always picks these for style, and wants the Nike brand. But they never last more than 4-6 weeks. We've been through several pairs of these and they fall apart at the seams every time. Terrible!

These are not durable. They fell apart after seven weeks. I called Nike customer service. They consider that "normal wear and tear." We replaced them with a pair of Tsukihoshi sneakers, which have lasted better.

Awful. I thought I would love these shoes but as an adult wearing kids sneakers, never before have I had a problem with shape. There was no shape to these shoes. It looked like a sack on my foot. Usually I love my Nike sneakers. I was very disappointed.
