Customer Reviews Nike Free Trainer V8

When I first tried these on, they felt a bit snug (and I'm always a size 10 in Nike shoes.) But I must have eaten a lot of salted foods that day, because the following morning, I awoke with a renewed sense of hope and a much slender-er foot. It was quite the Cinderella moment – if Prince Charming had found Cinderella by having all the kingdom's women try on a sleek yet stylish athletic shoe with moderate arch support. Now they fit like an absolute DREAM. Speaking of absolute dreams, wearing these shoes feel like you're strolling among the clouds. Or on the beach, watching your lover swim towards you in the waves while your children build a sandcastle nearby. Or like you're standing on a mattress. But not your grandma's old mattress. More like one of those new millennial mattresses ex-Bachelorette contestants are paid to promote on the 'gram. I use these shoes for strength training and they help with balance and ankle support, much better than just wearing a typical running shoe. These are so comfortable, I've adopted them as a full-time every day walking shoe. I wish I had a third foot so I could buy these again.

Did not get the snug fit I was expecting from a training shoe... I am used to wearing Nike Free (Running) shoes and, in comparison, these shoes felt bulkier and much wider. Maybe half-a-size smaller would work better for me in this model but the same size Flex Control 3 was a perfect fit. On the bright side, they are very light and flexible.

I bought those for my hubby. He is usually a size 8 but after reading reviews I purchased a 8.5 and it fit perfect. He loves the ankle support. The shoes is really stylish with the sole being white and the dots black..really cool. He used them mainly to walk on hard surface and love them.

Fits really good, true to size, and feel very comfortable. The flexible textile material seems to hold up very well, considering I have worn these for about a month straight at a very physically demanding job; no signs of wear.

I bought these for my husband, and he really likes them. He usually wears a size 10, but after reading reviews I decided to order 10.5. They fit him great & said they were very comfortable.

This is my favorite Nike in a long time. Had to replace some older Nike trainers. Returned 2 different models before seeing these and deciding to give them a try. I ordered the Black/Navy ones first, they fit great right out of the box, very comfortable, the fit is perfect. I hate a sloppy training shoe (I haven't been able to find a Reebok Crossfit Nano yet that wasn't ridiculously large and sloppy in the toe box, for example), and these have a snug fit that doesn't feel tight. They were so great for my first training session in them, and so comfortable, I ordered a second pair in a different color the next day, in the matte silver/black/white. I think I like that pair even better, just because of the versatility of the color. Nike has really hit a home run with this shoe, I hope they keep this style for a couple of years, and continue to offer neutral colors. I got 2 thumbs up on the looks of them by my wife and daughter as well, and these shoes pack well on a trip. I've only had them a week, so I can't attest to their wear quality yet, but I am hopeful they will wear well and last. A great functional training shoe.

I have a safe 14 and have a hard time finding shoes in my hometown but Zippo seems to always have my size the shoe free really good so I have them in 3 different colors

My son wears these to school frequently. They are sturdy, good looking and comfortable. Given that they are pure black, they are also work at some events where bright athletic shoes would be inappropriate.

Love the shoe

Great pair of shoes. I wear them to the gym and I really like them. Good arch support and just all around good sneaker. I lift weights in them. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Zappos!

I’ve owned previous versions of the Free Trainer. I use them for weight and interval training with some jogging.

Great shoes. Best customer service ever.

Great shoe for lifting weights.

very comfortable

A perfect pair of shoes to wear for walking and training, extremely durable and comfortable with great support on the heel. Wear them for a day to break them in and they will fit like a glove. My second pair and couldn't be more happy with my purchase.

I LOVE these sneakers! This is the second pair of these shoes that I’ve bought. I’m a Beachbody fan and these shoes have been perfect for all of my workouts — HIIT, lifting, intervals, plyo. They have great, cushioned support. I always order a half size up in Nike and these weren’t any different. I also love the color. As a woman buying a men’s shoe, I’m always on the lookout for a neutral color.

Awesome shoe. Incredibly comfortable for all kinds of exercise, running, and walking around. High quality finish and great style. Lightweight. Highly recommended!

Felt so great this is the second pair I've bought!

I am a women’s size 9 and wanted this shoe as a cross trainer that could also double for treadmill workouts. I loved how the shoe felt today during my first workout in them. So comfortable and gave me tons of stability. I ordered the men’s size 7.5 based on the shoe size converter I found on Nike.com. Fits perfect! Really stylish too! Going to order them for my boyfriend too!

Bought them for my teenage son for gym. He loves them and says they’re very comfy.

My husband loves these sneakers! He purchased them to cross train, and says that he actually feels more energy when he wears them, because his moves become more effortless, and his "feet do less work" with them on. He recommends wearing thin workout socks with these. He's very pleased with the product!

These shoes look great and fit even better. So happy I made the purchase! My feet are now the best looking part of me at the gym

These shoes feel great and serve general training purposes very well. They do feel a little tight in the uppers, but that's a good thing if you're jumping around doing dynamic exercises.

Fits great...nice and snug - perfect mix between traditional crossfit shoe and HIIT workout shoe. More comfortable on runs than the Free Metcon and sturdy enough for lifting

Ordered a size 12, my usual fit for sneakers (Same with Puma and ASICS). Were tight for first 2 wears and then settled in great. The shoes feel good and so far happy with their performance in the gym.
