These shoes are very comfortable. I have narrow feet so these work for me! I ordered my size 9 and they fit perfectly. They are very lightweight. I love the color!

I love these shoes. I had the Nike Free Flyknits before but I had to throw them out after I walked through a creek in them and they smelled foul. These are the same but I can wear socks with them. They look cute, almost like little slippers. They do run small as I usually wear a 6½ and I had to get a 7.

Shoe runs SMALL. I wear a 9.5-10 size in regular shoes. Buy and 11 for working out. These were too small. They were short..my toes were almost at the end. I love the look of the shoe and it is lightweight. I'm re-ordering an 11.5. Hope it works out!

I love these shoes! I have a pair of Nike Free 3.0 and they are worn completely out but I still wear them. I have ordered several different Nike tennis shoes since the 3.0 and cannot find anything as comfortable - until the Nike Free 5.0. I am getting ready to order a second pair and save them, just in case Nike quits making these very comfortable shoes! They are great for running, walking or just everyday wear. I am a teacher and stand on concrete floors all day. We can wear tennis shoes on Fridays and I am thrilled that these feel great on the concrete floor! Thank you, Nike, for making shoes as comfortable as the 3.0 was!

I really like these shoes. I am normally an Aasics fan but these shoes are so comfortable! Sometimes I have problems with the backs rubbing but these are awesome, can't even tell they're on and very light weight! Also love the color, would recommend!

These shoes are super comfortable and super light and the color and style are absolutely beautiful. I suggest ordering 1/2 size bigger than you're size. If they are a little tight in the toe areas, just loosen up the laces a little bit in that area and they will fit just fine. Zappos is the best place to buy them. They cost more on Eastbay! I wear a 10 1/2 and I ordered the size 11 and they fit great.

I'm training for a half marathon and these shoes have been excellent. They're definitely minimalist, but feel like you're running on a cloud.

I've always worn a 9 in Nikes, but feel like a 9.5 would have been a better choice on these. However, I didn't return them because it wasn't a big enough comfort issue to warrant the effort. Style and the rest of the shoe are great.

These shoes are wonderful! I wore them while on a touristy vacation. I got NO blisters, and they were comfortable from the minute I put them on!

This is my second pair of Nike Free 5.0 and this pair was a tad more snug than my last pair (I have noticed a few tweaks, like the back is now white instead of black). I typically wear an 8, and bought an 8 - I probably should have gotten an 8½.

This is my second pair of Nike free 5.0 running shoes. This style works best for my feet- not much of an arch. I have tried shoes from nine with More support and from several other brands and this seems to be the best option for my exercise habits. I am not a distance runner (no more than 3 miles) a few times a week. Most of my workouts are boot camp/crossfit style outdoor work outs and these shoes are perfect for that. Love the color and price too!

I've tried many Nike running shoes and have never found a great fit until now. I love the fit of these shoes (I went a half size up). Super comfortable, and surprisingly supportive for a minimalist shoe. I love the color, too!

I bought these for my wife's birthday, she was happier than I have seen for a long time. After wearing them all day at work, on her feet, she said all but the seam over big toe was fantastic. She concluded maybe she should trim her toenails, and I tried to break them in a little. We shall see!

These shoes are what I landed on after a long search for the perfect shoe to wear with HIIT workouts, weightlifting, T'ai Chi, and lots of walking with occasional running. I had recurring problems with pulling the arch of my foot, and as someone who normally wears super light, minimalist shoes, it was hard to find something that gave me just a bit more support in the right spots to eliminate pain without being clunky and heavy and, frankly, ugly. I also needed something with a slightly wider forefoot without being a wide shoe. These shoes fit the bill- they are the best! They feel like slippers and work great for all the different activities I needed them for (the design of the sole does great for lateral movements). I have not pulled any muscles in my foot since I started wearing them. They rock for running, too, and actually made me feel like I want to run more. Nice!

I am like the Princess and the Pea when it comes to running shoes, and Zappos has been very patient with my numerous returns of shoes that weren't quite right. Finally, finally, I struck gold. I paid attention to other reviewers and ordered a half size up. Was able to wear them on the trail right out of the box! Light as a feather, no rubbing anywhere, perfect amount of support. Thank you Zappos.

I just recently ordered these shoes and I can honestly say that I love then already. They are so lightweight but so comfortable that breaking them in isn't even necessary. I highly recommend!

Very comfortable shoe but Nike is making them smaller this time, I have had 10.5 for years and now have to return them and order another 1/2 size up. I suggest getting a full size more than your usual dress shoe.

I love these shoes. Extremely light and comfortable. Loved them so much, I had to order two pairs. I always order a half size up in Nike shoes.

Very comfortable shoes, even for my long, skinny feet. It's my second pair of this brand and style. They arrived as scheduled. Might order another pair in a different color. :-) I wear Sport-thotics for jogging, and the built-in arch support in the shoe was no problem.

I just ordered a second pair in a different color because I loved my first pair so much. I am not a runner but needed a pair of shoes for gym workouts. These shoes were the best for me for balance exercises and overall comfort. They are lightweight, flexible and neutral. The other day when running for the bus, I also discovered that they offered just the right amount of cushioning on hard concrete - I did not feel a thing!

We ordered these shoes for my daughter and bought her a whole size up based on some of the other reviews. She is typically a 6.5 so I got her a 7.5. They were too big. I had to return them for a 7. For us, a full size up is too much...half size was sufficient. It is a very soft soled shoe with little to no arch support, so if you require that, this may not work work for you without some sort of an insert. For my daughter's needs..to have cute, stylish shoes...they worked great.

I had a pair of the Nike Free 5.0's awhile ago, loved them, but got a great deal on a pair of Brooks after those wore out. The Brooks offer more support, but are not nearly as light-weight or comfortable. Glad to be back in the Free's! Fit is so comfortable, super light, and can go short or long distances -no problem. (2-10 miles, several days a week) If you need a lot of support, these are not for you. These are designed to help you hit mid-foot, vs a heel strike. Definitely my go-to running shoe!! Love the color options as well!
