Customer Reviews Nike Free Trainer V8

Excellent workout shoes

I bought the all black version. These feel amazing. I wanted to get a shoe that I can wear anywhere including formal events , I do wedding photography and needed a comfortable black shoe. I love the feel of training shoes as opposed to running or court shoes. These are lightweight and comfortable, I have no trained with them in the gym yet but I can feel how they would be great training shoes to be able to do change of direction movements. They almost feel like wearing socks, light.

My son loves these shoes! He said they were very comfortable and they have held up great.

I was way overdue for new trainers as my last pair from 2013 was completely blown out. THESE ARE AMAZING. My first HIIT session with these was an absolute dream. Yes, they felt a tad snug at first try on, but by the next day at the gym, they were a perfect mold to my foot. And snazzy looking to boot. Go and get you some, I don't think you'll regret it.

Awesome shoes.

Great workout shoe.

I love these shoes! Going to order another pair in a different colorway! Love the expedited delivery. They arrived in one day! So cool!

Great Style! I typically wear size 15 in Nike and this was true to size. I am happy with the width as this has a nice toe box with plenty of room in the forefoot without being loose or sloppy. Padding is good and feels stable as a trainer should and does not have the cushy and foamy feel of a running shoe.

I love these shoes! Don't wear thick socks though, they are a snug fit. Insoles are basically flat, forcing you to find your favorite aftermarket option.

Very comfortable, stylish shoe.

Excellent sneakers and very versatile!! I where a 12 1/2 and these feel a drop big but still fit just fine. So far I've worn them for lifting in the gym, running and biking and they have been really comfortable with great support!

Stylish, flexible and comfortable gym shoe.

Good shoes. I would definitely but again.

super comfortable shoe.

Great fitting and comfortable. My feet are on the narrow side and these shoes fit well. Not super snug just fits well. Very good looking shoe.

Fit great

Great shoe - comfortable. Didn't last long for a teenage athlete -- about 5 months.

I've had these for about two months now: Pretty happy so far. The style is pretty cool and looks good in person. Haven't noticed any excessive wear or weak manufacturing at the moment. My one gripe is the fixed tongue. It is great once you have it on, stays in place, is comfortable, looks nice; but putting the shoe on is a slight pain. Really makes me wonder how long the back of the shoe will remain stiff since it pretty much requires you to apply pressure and bend it to slip your fit into the show.

I bought these as a gift for my husband and he thinks they're great. He has used them for working out and walking. They are a bit snug so one can't wear super-thick socks, but they do a good job supporting the foot while also mimicking being barefoot.

In terms of looks, it's not the best Nike I've owned, but its good enough and much better than v7. In terms of a gym shoe, it's probably the best current model available (from Nike, not sure about other brands), although I would have liked a different material used in the upper. But the biggest problem with this shoe, and the reason for deducted star, is the inexplicable quality control issues for this model, and I am not the only person to have commented about this. Most of these come with toe box crushed inward, making an already tighter-than-normal-for-Nike fit straight up unacceptable. Going up half a size or more solves this problem at the expense of correct fit elsewhere. I had to buy three pairs (THREE!) to finally get one without the quality issues.

Runs small

Ordered my normal size, 11, and they felt a bit too snug. Returned them and ordered up, to size 11.5, and they fit very well. They don't have a normal tongue so they're not very quick to go on. The "bootie" collar design could use a bit more stretch. I'll be using a shoehorn for a while.

Nice shoes fit tight

Not the best quality. These don't hold up that great with young boys running around in them all the time.

They are tight compared to other Nike Free's. A little disappointed
