Customer Reviews Nike Flex Experience Run 4

I was enamored with my Nike Flex Fury and trying to find something similar without all of the funky colors. These shoes were perfect. I especially like how the soles are rounded. Some running shoes have an edge, making it slightly uncomfortable if you're resting your foot on its side. These feel great!

My son loves them. He wanted something different that none of his friends had. So I found these for him.

I searched Zappos. They had what I wanted in my size.It ended a frustrating store search. I love it.

Big disappointment! Bought these for my 11 year old and they ripped the first day he wore them. Granted he is active and was playing soccer at school, but I expect more from Nike, especially for the price I paid. Have had better luck with other Nike styles, I think it's just too much mesh. I won't be buying this style again.

Great shoes. Very comfortable and very light. I would suggest going a 1/2 size bigger they tend to run smaller than indicated!

So, got these for my 13 year old son. So far, he's worn them all three days he's had them. Reports they feel comfortable, fit just right and look good (probably the most important consideration if you're a kid). Even his fashionista older sister says they look okay. As per usual, Zappos is quick and sends exactly what was ordered.

Really light, snug, and comfy. The color is a bit darker than in the photos but a nice looking sneaker still.

Thank you Nike for making WIDE shoes! My 13-year old son has trouble finding wide shoes that look cool. Nike is the only brand he will wear. They are super comfortable and look good.

Narrow, narrow, narrow. These run narrow. I do not require wide shoes, but these were too narrow. Another 1/2 size up would have made the shoes much too long. Other than narrow, the shoe seems well made and looks like the outsole would hold up well.

Nike now all seem to run a little narrow for me and I don't really have a wide foot. On these, I just loosened the laces a little more than I normally would and they are fine. Love that they are pretty light weight and with comfortable sole. I think they did come in a wider width option. Maybe next time I'll get that. Love Zappos...always great service!!

These were cool looking and I really liked the flexible breathable materials. More gray and less white than they look in the picture. Unfortunately I couldn't keep them because I couldn't find a size that fit. I'm almost always a 10. The size 10s were very small. The 10.5s were the right length but still felt like they were squeezing my feet on the sides.

I like that the swoosh is gray so it does not stand out as much. They are not as supportive or cushioned as real higher end (and pricier) running shoes, such as New Balance, Saucony, etc. But they are good for everyday wear. I bought a wide to accommodate a bunion and so far so good!

Strange structure, they have kind of duck nose and are a bit too narrow. I wear size 10, this size was to small for me, i sent size 10 back and ordered size 11. So size 11 feels OK, but I have a bit extra space in front of my toes. My advice to avoid size issues get a half size larger because it was too narrow a bit and it caused a problem.

The shoes are extremely comfortable and are good for running, cross-training and weight lifting, but also great for just casual wear. The only problem is that the inside-back of the shoe (behind the ankle) starts to wear out after just one or two uses and the fabric starts to tear. I don't think it'll affect the actual shoe or its performance but it is slightly annoying that the fabric is this weak.

I have had a few pairs now. It has a minimal, slipper feel that I love for running and cross training equally. It stays comfortable in heat and cold, especially since it isn't constricting at the toes, allowing blood to warm your toes well. When cross training, it is in-between a wrestling shoe and a running shoe, so you can still use your toes and foot flexibility for balance. The sizing is strange, narrow for 4E around the mid toe-box, and I have to stretch them out before they are comfortable and the heel stays put. Speaking of the heal, the inner fabric pills and breaks easily, regardless of what kind of socks I wear, although thin synthetic or thin long fiber socks, as compared to ones with more padding and longer-than-no-see will damage it more slowly. Once a hole digs through the heels, they are unbearable. I use them more for cross training than running, and will go through more than 2 pairs a year only because of the heel issues. I prefer them anyways over traditional running or x-training shoes because it feels closer to barefoot without any discomfort.

These are great shoes but they were not half a size short like some other reviews suggest. I ordered the correct size in the medium width (11D) and the shoes were very very narrow. I returned these for a half size larger and the very wide width only to discover that the 11 was the right length. Maybe I was thrown off by how tight they were as well as a few reviews. In my experience, it is not the length but the width that needs to be considered if you have anything other than very narrow feet. Hopefully this is the end of my flex Goldie Locks dilemma.

I'd had been looking for a new pair of Nike shoes. Couldn't find any one's that I liked. These Nike Run 4 are so great, because I have a wide foot and wear an ankle brace. Only wish they had them in blue.

I liked the way that the 3 felt for comfort and size/width. The arch support is a lot better with these 4 but they are not comfortable for hours of wear.

Nice looking shoes. Get lots of compliments on them. Just a little too small.

Fabric ripped in the heel really quickly

Feels like a midgrade shoe, very light, comfortable but I am not too happy with how the tongue of the shoe sits, it seems that no matter how you position the laces it pokes out.

Length wise this show was great but width wise no. I have worn Nikes for years but this pair was really narrow. I purchased a 4e as I have really wide feet and it was really snug on my feet.

This shoe is entirely undeserving of its "flex experience" name. These shoes are so inflexible compared to so many other products out there these days with the light weight soles that practically let you fold the shoe in half. This sole has none of the grooves that allow for movement, and thus it is very stiff. This leads to a secondary problem; as you move through your stride you get that annoying little sensation of the heel of the shoe moving on the back of your foot. Again, because the shoe doesn't flex well, so the shoe wants to remain straight while your foot flexes. I got horrible heel blisters on the first pair I tried because of the rubbing. I went down a size but the uncomfortable sensation still didn't go away. Speaking of which, I first took the common advice to order a half size larger in Nikes, but as stated, that just led to an over sized shoe with even worse heel slippage. The style is pretty nice, and as someone who needs 4E shoes, the width felt good, but more would always be better.

These are decent shoes, but I have a few complaints. For one, I have wide feet. Usually Nike makes wide shoes, but these (even in the 4E size) are a bit narrow. I am hoping they will stretch out a bit. My other complaint is that they do not have removable insoles. I use special insoles with extra support usually, but I cannot fit them in. Otherwise, these shoes are light, and if you don't need different arch support, will fit.
