As other reviewers have indicated, these sneakers definitely run on the small side. I'm usually an 8 but ordered the 8.5, and I'm now wondering if I should have gone for a size 9. Note that the sneaker tongue is thick, making the overall fit very tight, especially at first. I am still on the fence re: whether to return or keep.

These shoes are very nice. They are perfect for street shoes and mild activity such as working out. The weight and pressure of me wearing them a lot did make the back crease, but they still look fine.Great Nikes!!

I love these shoes! I have bad knees so I need a well-fitted shoe to prevent pain and these do a great job. They fit a little differently than other tennis shoes I've worn in that they are more snug, but the size is true. I really love the way the look as well, which is a great bonus!

The shoe is a nice shoe but runs small and narrow. My daughter normally wears a 6 and has room in it but we had to return and get a 6.5z the shoe is light, which is good and keeps her feet dry even in the rain. Overall we're happy with the shoe but suggest going up a size.

Decent shoe for the price. The ridges in the liner of the shoes are a bit weird and hard to get used too. Shoes fits right to size. Definitely wouldn't suggest for wider feet.

Comfortable but fits small. Get at least a 1/2 size larger than you typically wear in running shoes.

Love the design, but the shoe is a bit small in the toe for a size 6. I exercise with padded socks and the shoes are too small for the sock padding.

This is my first time buying Nike-therefor I wasn't sure what size I needed and the stores didn't have them in stock to try on...so I tried on similar shoes to was going to buy and winged it. They are a little snug, (my foot is 9.5'', and the shoes are 10.5) but I feel like they are manageable. I'm not sliding around too much in them and big toe has a half inch for space still. For a female, I'm an 8 Mens in Converse if this helps. I haven't needed to wear them yet as my current shoes are still going, but from wearing them to do this review, I think they are OK visually (not exactly my style. I like to look at Converse or New Balance more...actually the resemble swimming/water shoes a lot) and they are more flat than the pictured shoes which may make them more aerodynamic? The bottoms are very grippy and will make you stop on a dime. These could be great skate board shoes. Comfort wise they are satisfactory. They have a 'palate' groove inside them that feels weird at first but provides some massage to the feet. They are flat inside with no arch and full inserts will make your feet super snug in these so plan ahead if you need them. They don't provide a lot of shock while jumping or running and the top part of the heel doesn't dig into me when stretching.
For the price of these to-be work shoes, Id give them a thumbs up.

Overall these shoes fee comfortable, and look nice. I first seen these shoes at Famous Footwear. I am a size 8.5 but these shoes were way to tight. After reading the reviews on these shoes, I found that many people shared my opinion. I bought these shoes in a size 9, but they are still way to small. I'm debating on exchanging them for a size 9.5 or 10.

These are good looking shoes, however they gave me major blisters on the back of my feet (despite wearing socks). I've never had to break sneakers in, so I was a bit surprised. I'm hoping they'll stop hurting after I wear them a few more times.

Size up!! These shoes are great, but they run small. I ordered my usual size 8.5, and they are a little snug. I wish I had read the reviews before I ordered these, but I have worn them a few times and they are getting more comfortable. If I had it to do over I would order a half size up. They are so cute and have great arch support!

As per the other reviews I ordered these a half size larger. They fit perfectly. They are very comfortable. I will buy these again in a different color.

They definitely are snug! I usually wear a 7-7.5 so after reading reviews I ordered a 7.5. They fit great length wise but are tight width wise. Hoping they'll stretch out some after wearing them a few times because I love the style!

These were very comfortable shoes and fit true to size. However they were more bulky than I expected. I was looking for something more low profile, and these reminded me of busboy shoes from my restaurant days. I ended up returning these and getting a pair of Pumas which was more of what i was looking for.

Perfect for the athleisure look once you get the right size. I have normal width feet. Size 9. I originally ordered my normal size, definitely too small. So. I reordered a full size up. And even with that, they are narrow. I have to pull the laces out a fair amount more than normal.

So I really like these shoes, I would say they run a half size small. I wear an 8.5 and should have gotten a 9. I will keep them and not exchange them, but do order up a half size.
Super cute style though!

Love the look of these, and they are quite comfortable although a tad smaller than the marked size. I've owned several pairs of Nikes in the past, and ordered my usual size. With athletic socks, these were too tight for comfort. But with thin no-show socks, they are comfortable, light, and stylish.

I really like these Nikes. They are narrow, but I like the way they hug my feet. I bought an 8.5 and I should have bought a 9, but I'm keeping them because I feel like I walk lighter and faster in these shoes. Something about the soles. Overall a very good shoe. There's a good chance I am not an 8.5.

I ordered these shoes 1/2 size bigger because I read the reviews that they felt small. I have a wide foot and normally wear and 8 in Nikes, I ordered an 8.5 and think the 8 would have been fine - they feel a little long but are narrow and tight but will break in well. Comfortable but errand shoes, not workout shoes. Very happy with them

So I got the Nike Orive NM in black and I just tried them on. LISTEN TO THE OTHER REVIEWS AND SIZE UP! I normally wear a 5.5-6 in women's shoe size, and these 6.5's were perfect (I'm a petite person). The only thing I noticed (so far...I haven't worn them out yet) is that the back of the shoe is rubbing against my heel. However, I feel as I break them in, that problem will go away. They are also on the tighter side (they got very snug). SO AGAIN, SIZE UP AT LEAST HALF A SIZE!!! Design wise, I really like it overall! Only downside that I noticed on my particular shoe was that the white part at the toes came up a little to far making it look boxy. Quick fix: black sharpie :)I'll update on the comfort once I wear them out for a day! Planning on wearing the Nikes to Disney
