I have an older version of this same shoe in a 7.5. This one is way too small and it’s the same size. It’s such a waste of time when they change sizing for no reason! Will return.

This is a very attractive shoe and is pretty comfortable. However, the weird plastic part at the inner toe hit my toes weird and was pretty uncomfortable. Not sure why Nike decided to make this part of the design but it is not working.

I bought these shoes only for working out at Farrell's for 50 minutes a day. I do not like working out barefoot, so in that regard, these shoes fit the bill. However, I would never wear these shoes for longer than an hour a day. They are not that comfortable, and there is zero grip (a bonus for kickboxing though). As some mentioned the little plastic piece over the big toe does irritate my foot occasionally. I personally like a shoe for everyday wear that has more support and cushion. This is not it. But considering they cost half as much as my normal shoes (Brooks Glycerin), and they do work for my workouts, I'll take that as a win.

Around I noticed they are not
As comfortable as other nikes...

Weird shape and sizing. There is a strange seam at the front that your toes will catch on shoe is too big and conversely, will cut into your nail bed if the shoe fits/is too small. They will go back. Not Nike's finest day.

I was trying to find another light, less structured shoe to replace a pair that are quite tired. While the uppers are what I was looking for, the soles are a poor choice for an athletic shoe and are not comfortable. I will tolerate them for a little while and find something else.

Overall these are not my favorite Nike sneaker purchase. The look is casual, and they are lightweight so I think they’ll be great for warmer months. The sole on the bottom is curved at the sides, not great for my weak ankles. I have wider feet and was hoping these would be more comfortable but the right show in particular is a bit tight. No complaints on Zappos service, always the best

I bought the Flex Experience RN7 a few months ago and I am love. I decided instead of waiting until these wore out I would buy a new pair so I could make sure to get these great shoes again. They changed the sizing!! The bordeaux color is gorgeous but I wore a 9.5W in my current pair but the 9.5W in the RN8 seems too tight in the toe box. I'm not sure yet what I'll do

8.5med in Blue fit was okay. The forefoot was not lined inside and the tongue cameup to far on leg. Pretty but, not for me.

I am on my feet for 12 hours a day, sometimes outside, so I was hoping to make these my new work shoes, but they had to go back. They're cute and very light, but after wearing them for a few hours, the ridges of my feet were killing me. I think the soft uppers were just not good for my feet.

Super comfy - I feared they would really break down with very little side to side support, so I returned them. I've had other pairs similiar and the lateral support sucks. They are for casual wear, not athletic use in my opinion.

Went to size 9med as 8.5 was too short but, the 9 is too long and shoes are too wide in back of foot. Liked the look and color (Blue) of the shoes but, cannot get the size worked out so must return.

Bought these in a size 7 in gray , wanted to size up for my daughter, so I bought an 8. They are the same size, need to go back. So frustrating.

Cute sneaker and very comfortable however I purchased this sneaker in October and by end of December the sneaker started to separate near the side of my foot. There’s a small hole. I don’t wear sneakers every day and I didn’t work out. I would not recommend purchasing based on the quality.

They fit good other then the width. I need a wide instead. Unfortunately I’ve had to send them all back due to width.

Leather/Plastic part on the big toe is a nightmare. Really hoped they would work as the rest of the shoe is very comfortable, however the patch on the toe rubs really bad and I had to return

I normally like the Nike Flex sneaker but this version has a very awkwardly placed piece of plastic around the toes that pinches your feet when you wear them.

These are the worst shoes! They are unbearably loud and squeak like you wouldn’t believe. I love how comfortable and fashionable they are but I’m horrified to wear them to work because the noise. I’ve worn them hiking, etc so them being new isn’t the issue.

Have worn Flex version of Nike for years, but these feel like there is plastic used in the toe area between the inside and outside fabrics, I suppose as reinforcement. I thought there was still cardboard shipping stuck in the toe areas when I tried them on. Zappos is always wonderful and is switching these out for me with another Nike shoe model.

The size on these felt a whole size smaller. Normally a 9, these felt like an 8. Returning.
