I just got them and look super cool and cute. I am intending to use them for cross training in the gym. They come with removable cushiony foam insoles. With the insoles, I feel like they are tiny bit small for my feet. I may have to exchange for a half size up but other than that, this is a great pair!

These shoes are very cool. I give them an A+ for style. However, they definitely run small

After reading other reviews, I ordered both a 6.5 (my straight up size) and a 7. Definitely needed the 7. Very comfortable shoe - but would not recommend if you are looking for a running shoe that adds stability. I wanted a comfortable walking/run around shoe, and this works great for that!

Have to admit I am impressed. Swore off Nike decades ago, but due to the other reviews gave it a try and am pleased. I like how lightweight and flexible they are. Don't really care for the aesthetics, but otherwise very happy.

Rarely do I ever write reviews, which I admit is sad since I myself depend so heavily upon them. These are great shoes, light, comfortable right out of the box. However, they REALLY do, run a FULL size too small. I ordered a half size up based on other reviews, but had to return them for another half size larger. At a half size larger, my toes were right at the tip or the toe box. So listen up and order a full size larger ladies!

Cute and comfortable. I'm not sure I like these more or less than the Nike Free Runs. There are both great shoes, just different. These are more narrow and run small. I had to order a half size up.

I was told by my friend these were the most comfortable shoes ever and perhaps that would have been true had I not just tried on Skechers Go Walk first. ;) So, I was a little disappointed when they weren't equally as comfortable. But, let me tell you a bit about these shoes: 1) They run very small. I'm a true 9 and my toes were scrunched at the end. 2) They are very light and not at all clunky like some shoes. 3) I found that my foot was wider than normal too (and my foot is narrow), so these shoes left me a bit perplexed. I'm going to order them in a size 10 and see what happens.

I've been wearing Nike Flex (2013-2015) shoes for the last three years and have loved them. I tried the Free RN this time around and found them to fit smaller than Flex. The toe box is just as wide, but it's not as deep, as if your foot is being stepped on. I also think they fit a 1/2 or whole size smaller. They're comfortable otherwise. I'd give them another try, but start with a half size larger. I have mid-rise arch and these gave excellent support and allowed space for my orthotic insoles once the original insoles were removed. I tend to supinate when I walk, these shoes were pleasant and neutral.

The Free RN is a great shoe that doesn't look too athletic, but you should size up half a size to keep your toes from being too crunched in the front. If you have high arches, the bottom felt supported, but the cut of the top of the shoe was uncomfortable after a few hours of wear.

I like these shoes but I wish Nike would stay on size. Every shoe I buy from Nike is different. I tried my normal size 9.5 and too small, went up to a 10 and fits ok but I think I would fit a 10.5 better, The shoe is very cushioned which I like and I will buy it again.

Comfortable, lightweight running/workout shoe, but not the best for flat feet due to lack of arch support. Also, order a half size to a whole size up from your normal shoe size to ensure a proper fit. (I'm a 6.5 shoe, but ordered this in a 7.5, which fit perfectly.)

Fun shoes! I have received many, many comments on these shoes, because of their neon colors. But, aside from eye-catching they are comfortable. I'm not sure I would be able to do long-distance hiking because they don't provide super support, but for everyday walking (about 5 miles) they are fine.

Super unsupportive. I ended up giving these away because I had worn them and didn't feel I could return. Wanted the blogger look but the white on this was too small and not smushy enough. The backs always felt like I could fall out at any second. Do yourself a favor and buy the lunarglide8 instead. Those are perfection

Well, I had high hopes for these shoes. I was so convinced from reading the reviews about the supposedly cushioned foot bed. The cushiony feeling lasted only a day or two and that was wearing them only about 8 hours total. I ended up putting in my own arch supports and taking out the existing ones. It doesn't accomodate the arch supports very well at all and my heel slips while wearing them. They'll be cute for wearing around as athleisure, but I'll probably get some different ones for real running.

I see that so many people love this shoe, and I do too - but heads up. I bought these shoes for casual wear/work in informal settings - and I wear them as part of my airport uniform. They are squeaky. Incredibly so. Noticeably so. Just a heads up. If you're running on a trail, I can see this wouldn't be a problem, but if you're walking down a hall or in a mall, people WILL hear you coming.

Unhappy Feet :(! Unfortunately a waste of $100 for me. I wanted shoes to run errands and to be able to wear with jeans. I have the start of a bunion so want to wear shoes wear my toes aren't jammed in. I typically wear a size 8 regular shoe and 8.5 or 9 for running shoe (to compensate for an athletic orthotic). I don't wear orthotics other than to run. The 8.5 were too short but felt fine otherwise. The 9s give me more room but they do not line up with the rest of my foot. Unfortunately I went with the 9s hoping they would mold to my foot. I even tried a Dr. Scholls orthotic but they are still so uncomfortable. Seriously bummed. They look cute on but too uncomfortable to wear.

Shoe was too short and too wide. Need to get a more narrow shoe. should have gone up a whole size. It is very hard to get a shoe to fit. I have a very narrow foot.

These shoes are ok. The inside of the shoe is made to come out easily.. However when you slip the shoe off the bed of the shoe comes out every single time. Also this shoe runs a little more than a half size small.. So order a size up.
