Great looking shoe. When worn with socks, it was TIGHT and kept yanking at big toes making for ingrown toenail. UNCOMFORTABLE.

This is my third pair of Nike frees. I bought my second pair about two years ago and they are still in great shape. Some small holes in the toes starting to break through but other than that, no problems. I have had my new pair, the 5.0, for one month and a piece of shoe under the ball of my right foot has already torn off! I coach volleyball in these shoes. That is it! The base of these shoes feel like they're made out of yoga matting. Soft and comfortable yes, but if you intend on doing any actual movement or god-forbid, pivoting, be ready to have these fall apart. The very first day I wore them, the stripe that separates the fabric over your toes from the base literally rubbed off in spots. I'm so disappointed. The cost for a pair of athletic shoes that I can't do athletic things in without destroying is such a bummer. Now I need to hunt for a new favorite pair of shoes.

These shoes were cute but I couldn't even get them on. They didn't run true to my normal size/width. They are incredibly light weight which was the appeal, and if they fit, I am sure I would have enjoyed them.

These are absolutely terrible. There is very little support and the heel broke down immediately and they look warn out after a couple weeks. My feet ache after wearing these for any length of time. I put orthodics in to add support and this was not even enough. I do not recommend these at all.

I ordered 2 of this shoe, just to have a back-up. Unfortunately, it is not the exact model I have previously worn. I usually wear a 1/2 size larger in Nike, but this one runs extremely small, and would need to go a full size larger. I am so disappointed that Nike changed the fit and look for the Free Run.

I have had great success with Nike Free shoes in the past and was excited to get my new pair. Unfortunately the size ran small - the size that was fine for the two previous pairs was now different. I just don't understand why a manufacturer would do that. Very unhelpful.

I love the look of these shoes! I usually take a size 11 in Nike's. I ordered an 11 and they were so small I couldn't put them on. I returned and ordered a 12. The 12 is so small my toe is crammed up at the end and have to return this pair. Sad they run so small. Thanks for letting me return, Zappos!

The laces on this shoe, particularly the left shoe are weirdly off center. I have bought two pairs and they were both like this. They are not inexpensive and I am not happy with a defective looking product. Sorry, Zappos! I have to return them again.

I have been very disappointed with Nike's quality. What they refer to as a 'light running shoe', seems to me to be poor quality with no support.
I love Zappos!
