My boyfriend found these to run really small. He’s normally a size 10.5-11, but even the size 11 was way too small in these. He does have wide feet.

This shoes are great, but they fun a full size smaller and they are hot. The neoprene insert traps heat. Sure miss the first few versions.

Don't ignore the comments about Free RN sizing. Order 1/2 size larger!

The soft rubber soles wore away too quickly. Other than that these are a great shoe. I run 25-35 miles per week and the road/pavement was too much for them. A stronger sole and tread and these would have been worth the purchase. Alas NIKE... you were so close.

They changed the materials/style. Now they r built from this stretchy material for support. it always puts some tension on my foot. I liked the old version much better. I will return these.

Don't care for the new model of the Free RN. Been wearing for years and with the new updates- I need to change to a different style

These shoes squeak like crazy because of the new strap through heel pull tab design. It's too bad because this shoe is otherwise very good looking and comfortable.

Liked the all black look, unfortunately Nikes don’t make them like they used to. Always relied on Nikes for athletic shoes, but quality is obvious right out the box. It’s never a good thing to see the glue marks on shoes even if they are made in China. Seems like they sped up their assembly practices. And I purchased two different pairs and both had visible glue marks. Plus overall shoe material feels much cheaper then Nikes bought from two years ago. Sadly they don’t make my old ones.

Dissappointed with these. They are comfortable but there is little support. The material is flimsy and not what I expect in a running shoe. Feels more like a slipper. I'm keeping them because they are comfortable, but only using them for walking around, not running.

Ridiculous shoe to get into because of the odd two-piece elastic heel straps. You need a shoe horn to do it easily.
AVOID THIS SHOE. I returned the first one because of the size (small) and the second because I gave up on the convoluted heel design.

I pretty immediately starting feeling pain in the arch of my foot when using these for running. I live in a city and thus run almost exclusively on concrete. I had Nike free’s before in 2012 and loved them. They were great. Don’t know if the design is different or the material, but i didn’t use these shoes for ver long before i ended up abandoning them.

They seemed cheap and very tight, most of the shoe is soft and the outer rim was hard unlike a full fly knit shoe, I didn't like them at all besides the look.

THESE ARE NOT MADE FOR RUNNING OUTDOORS. I had to return these. I have been purchasing Nike brand shoes to run for the past three years. I generally wear a 10.5 or 11 in shoes, but with Nike shoes I purchase size 10. These shoes, however, seem to be made half size smaller. I should have purchased 10.5. The biggest disappointment of these shoes is the bottom sole. The "chevron" treads or holes allow any pea-sized gravel to get stuck. If you buy these, you will spend about five minutes after every run picking out tiny rocks from the bottom of your shoes.

The bottom has absolutely no tread. It’s not useful for a gym class at all.

Love how the shoe feel on every step, it looks awesome too! its very rare to find this two thing on a shoe now a days. This feels like it will last for years. But just one problem... Im a size 9 and the shoe if very very tight wen i put in without socks, it does not fit as expected, i recommend a half size bigger than your size for it to be very comfi. But after all i recommend it!
I'd also recommend:
adidas, globe, vans.

If I could return them I would but I have worn them outside. These are way too small like everything else nike makes. No more nike for me.

Ordered this and New Balance Mens Arishi v1 ASIN: B06XRTS628. Both have a similar style and are light weight. However, I was surprised how flimsy the Nike material was. It had no rigidity at all which made it extremely difficult to put on. Also, the bottom had relief cuts in the sole which looked like they could tear further during use. It almost seems like they took a washcloth and made it into a sneaker.
I returned the Nike and kept the New Balance.

I would not recommend these. I have worn Nike shoes for years but these got holes in the fabric and began separating from the sole one month after I started wearing them.

My son loves how these shoes look and feel, but they are not durable and two pairs have now fallen apart within a month of purchase. He plays basketball and I believe it's this wear that has caused his toe to push through the front of both pairs in just a few weeks.

My son killed these shoes in about 2 months with regular wear. They are not durable at all. He loves how comfortable they are, but don't plan to wear for athletics.

I’ve had these less than 8 months and they have fallen apart on the sides between the rubber and the cloth.

Very high material near ankle bone, rubs and causes blisters. No need for that extra material as my other bike shoes have more of a curve rather than straight line across the bone.

These shoes fell completely apart in 5 months. The sole separated from the rest of the shoe so badly that it was a "flap". Additionally, the sole wore oddly, falling away in chunks at the ball of the foot. Kind of disappointing, because my son said they were really comfortable.

Upon receipt, the shoes fit very well and my son found the sneakers to be very comfortable. My problem with the shoe is with the lack of quality. I purchased the sneakers in mid September and here it is mid December and there are holes on both shoes on the toe box. Shoes that cost $100 should not tear apart in 3 months. Also, after about 2 months, the sneakers lost all support and stretched & contorted into over sized clown shoes. As long as consumers continue to pay outrageous prices for name brand junk, companies will keep selling us crap! Just saying.
