Great, stylish shoes. When working out or hiking, my arches tend to ache and I didn't find this to be the case in these shoes. Great support, I love that my feet can breathe and there is a skip in my step every time I wear them!

These run just a little larger and wider than most Nike's I've worn -- I actually kind of like that, as my feet are a bit wide. Now I have the beginnings of bunions as well, and the toe box of this shoe is very soft but not sloppy. I do wish they were a little cushier, although they're not at all stiff. I haven't decided for sure if I'll keep them...if I don't, I'm sure to keep shopping for Nike 'til I find the new, perfect pair. Please note that the Hyper Pink color is truly Hyper Pink. It's really bright. Retina-searing bright. Sort of like it.

These shoes are true to size at least for me, with a normal width and mostly average foot. I use them for, yes, running. I have run as much as 8 miles in them, and they are super comfortable. Much less cushion than traditional running shoes, but this isn't a problem so far; I have very high arches so don't need a lot of motion control, but usually some cushioning. If you need motion control when running, I don't know how they'd work. Very cool with the mesh upper. Training for a half marathon so we'll see how longer distances go as I ramp up. They are great for just walking too, usually I take off my running shoes after a long run, and hang them up until next time. These, I have put back on, the same day, for walking, they are that comfy.

Super comfortable, they feel lightweight and well cushioned when running. The only negative I've found so far is when using them in group classes at my gym, they tend to slide on the floor (when doing planks, push ups, etc.).

I previously wrote a good review, but after a couple of months, I have to change my review. These shoes have given me horrible foot problems. I have tendonitis in both feet now. I used them for my HIIT workouts daily, but the pain has gotten to be so excruciating that I am taking some time off. My guess is that since the shoe tends to be on the larger side (width/toebox), I needed to tie them tighter, which created big issues for me. Such a bummer considering these were kind of pricey and I didn't get much use out of them. I've honestly never had this much pain from a gym shoe.

This Nike is very lightweight. I always order a 1/2 size up in Nikes and it fits comfortably. Toe box is wide and roomy for average width foot. Insole is pure garbage. Definitely needs to be replaced with a good cushioned insole for any kind of support and or comfort for your foot. Foot feels supported in this shoe. Very comfortable with the right insole.

Comfortable and flexible. Lasted me 3 years. Learned this shoe is not good for me because of a small bunion problem, so for me I need a harder bottom.

Believe it or not, my partner recommended that I try these shoes because he has some similar in white. I ordered green, and love them! They're great for walking and running, I use the treadmill. They are lightweight and very comfortable, although at times they do start to hurt the top of my heel...not sure why. They may run a tad large, I toggle between 8.5 and 9 in all shoes, and kept the smaller of the two. I'd definitely buy another pair or recommend these to a friend.

I bought these shoes as a last ditch effort to save my knees which had been bothering me terribly all winter.I had to stop running for several weeks due to the pain. I already had bought a new pair of New Balance, and they felt like I was strapping bricks to my feet. Well, enter Nike. I had always been wary of Nike since they discontinued their Shox line (they were the ones I swore by for running). All their new shoe lines tend to run narrow and small so I avoided them altogether. But not these! I bought them initially because of the color, they were so bright! I bought them one half size bigger than my feet because I planned on doing a lot of long runs in them. They fit perfectly, not too snug and my foot wasn't swimming in them. Later I went for a run and wow, no knee pain! After two weeks I took them to Paris and completed the Paris Marathon in them. They were incredibly comfortable, no problems whatsoever! My knees were fine, which was a miracle. Since then I've learned that it was the arch support in the shoes that saved my knees (I have no arches at all, so the little it offered made a huge difference). Bonus, the bright color helped my friends spot me at the finish line. I'm just sorry it cost me more to find the right shoe, but oh well at least I took a chance and won this time!

This shoe is awesome. I have very flat, very narrow feet so finding sneakers is difficult. Ever since I discovered Nike Flex have been a happy customer. Highly recommend. I get my shoes a half size bigger because I have arch supports.

I love these shoes! I needed something that was lightweight to do plyos, but something that gave me enough support for running outdoors. These are perfect! I went with the advice that they ran a little large, and ordered an 8. I am usually an 8/8.5 and the 8 fit perfectly. Thinking about ordering the light blue color as well!

I ordered this shoe in three colors. I kept only the black. Pink is NEON, not the soft pink on screen. The purple is also super bright. The shoe itself is super comfy. Wish I could find a color I like.

Runs 1/2 size too big for me. Normally I take an 8 for Nike. Need to exchange for 7.5.

Have this in two colors and want a third. Toe box is wider and that's a good thing for me. I use them for cardio and gym training.

I bought these for my wife and she loves them. She said that they are the most comfortable pair of shoes she's ever worn. She liked them so much that she bought a pair for her mom for Christmas.

The only down side is the arch support. If you are flat-footed like me, you may need to get insertable soles.

I bought these because I had some Nike Flex 2013 and thought these would be the same. They are not. Loved and adored the 2013, Like and find the 2014 comfortable. They are comfortable right out of the box and I am enjoying the bright blue color. I also bought the bright pink and its neon, just a warning. Good news is that the soles are a bit different than the 2013 which used to pick up and hold gravel in between the pads quite easily (living in AZ where rock lawns are common, this was annoying) but the fit is just slightly different than 2013. I would try this one on in a store first to make sure. But I am definitely happy with the purchase and it fits my arch well and is comfortable for a long wearing -- 7 am until after midnight plus walking in 3 different airports! As always Zappos is wonderful, fast shipping, and although I did not need customer support, have in the past and it was always right on!

I was debating on buying these or the Nike Frees and I'm so happy I chose these. They have great support and they're equally light. The Nike Frees gave me a lot of foot problems after running in them, but these do not. They're breathable and much more durable. I have very high arches and Nike tends to run a bit small/narrow for me so I ordered a half-size up and they were perfect.

The best "everyday" shoe ever! I don't run but truly like/need comfortable shoes for going wherever. I was wearing an 8.5 but the last year it seems like I have to begin wearing 9. These shoes fit me well with enough room above the toes as well as the toe box in general. The width is good for me as well; not tight or constricting. I took out the insoles that came with the shoes and replaced with Spenco insoles. Nike flex anything, is a very comfortable shoe; I think it's due to the way the sole of the shoe is constructed, kinda waffle like. I selected the black/gray shoe.
