Had I gotten my correct size in a running sneaker, this would have worked. In Nike running shoes I need a 8.5 or 9. I liked the rose gold swoosh and it was fairly light. Wanted to use for plyometrics, but not enough cushion. Would be cute for errands, but I’m not in the market for that currently, so back they went. Love Zappos and their return policy.

I had the flex rn 2016 and they were great. Bought these and while the width and length in terms of size, is fine, the height is NOT. It felt like my foot was in a C-clamp...so tight on both feet.

I like the looks of these sneakers, however, they run small so the 11 is even too small, wish they came in wide.

Although I'm an old lady I can't stop buying shoes based on their style. Now that I'm retired the only place I go regularly is the gym. I enjoy working out more if I'm color coordinated, so needed a shoe to compliment various colored tops. This one filled the bill. It's very attractive and lightweight. The downside for me is that it's a little too flexible. I have arthritic toes and need a little more rigidity in the sole to be truly comfortable. However--I bought it for it's looks, so I'm happy with the compromise. Have only worn once, so cannot speak to how will it will hold up.

This is not the first time I've owned a pair of Nike. This is the first time purchasing a Flex Run sneaker. It is really tight in the laces to get your foot into the sneaker. First time around, I ordered my usual 5.5 and had to return bc I couldn't get my foot in without completely unlacing the sneaker and I have a really bony foot (and I wasn't even wearing socks). So I ordered a size 6 and loosened up the first 2 spots and easy as pie with my feet in athletic socks time around. Very comfortable support - although I've worn them around the house and not outside. I would recommend people to go at least a half size up when ordering this shoe.

I like these, they're just what I was looking for: something comfortable and simple that I can throw on with most things.

I have a fairly wide, short foot. These were a bit tight; though felt more comfortable after I walked around a bit. I don't trust how well they'd do with my planed vacation w/ a lot of walking so I returned them.

I had to return these because they were a little too small on me, even though I have always fit well in size 10 Nikes. They were very lightweight--a little too lightweight for what I was looking for. I liked the black/grey color.

I’m so disappointed with the color. I ordered black, but it’s more of dark blue. Not as comfortable as I was expecting.

Super cute but not at all comfortable if you are on your feet a lot.

I love the shoes… Unfortunately I have to return them because they are too small. I usually wear a 9 but ordered 9 1/2 and its still too small.

I really wanted to love these sneakers! Especially the rose gold color accent. However when I received them they definitely run a little large. Since they are "flex" I could tell they were going to stretch put too much. I have a pair of nike flyknits and these are just like them. I never wear the pair I have because they stretched out too much and now flip up by the toe. These will definitely do the same. Had to return them.

Don't fit me as well as the Nike Free run and although I ordered same size in both, the Flex is shorter. Doesn't offer same amount of support as the Nike Free does.

If you are planning to run in these, they will not last long. Lightweight & cushiony for a few runs, then they are done. They break in & wear easily. I felt like I was running on clouds for my first few half marathons, but now they are duds. The top of the foot is too tight now, & the sole of the shoe is worn or "flat", you could say. I think these are cheaply made.

Loved the style, but it was way too tight. My foot is a little wide, but haven't had any issues with other Nike styles. There was no cushioning or support in the sole. They were not comfortable.

I want to love these shoes but they're just not that great. I do Crossfit 3x a week and they are uncomfortable, not a lot of support. the heel squashes down when you try to take your shoes off or put them on. the footbed is just weird, I thought they would break in and I would get used to them but I don't like them at all. It almost feels like they are going to give me a charlie-horse but it hasn't happened... that's the best way to explain how my foot feels in them? They're also kinda tight over the top of the foot and I have long skinny feet... so I'm not sure who these are made for? I usually love Nike tennis shoes but this makes me want to try another brand.

I don't run in my sneakers. I walk in them all day. Initially, I ordered in a 5.5 - I have a thin, bony, narrow foo w/moderate arch & instep. The 5.5 required that I unlace the top 3 eyeholes to get my foot in. I ordered up to a 6, laced loosely and walked around the house for about an hour. The lacing felt so uncomfortable, it probably meant I had to size up again. The rest of the shoe felt good inside. I'm not confident that sizing up to a 6.5 is the answer.

I don't know what happened to this style. I have a pair from a few years ago that finally wore out. Ordered my usual size (7-1/2), couldn't even get my foot into it. Sent back and, on the advice of Customer Service, went a FULL size up and now they are too big but still not wide enough. Nike makes great shoes but they are so inconsistent in sizing. Sending back.
