Customer Reviews Nike Flex Experience RN 8

I wanted the Black/Red Orbit/University Red/White but was sent the wrong product twice and then told you are out of stock. I had to pick another color (blue) which are nice but not what I wanted. The shoe is extremely comfortable and your service has been great. I'm a little bummed I couldn't get the color I wanted originally.

Everything was great. However, I was delivered the wrong color.

They were true to size and I have a 4E width. Felt cheap and flimsy. You get what you pay for. Also, did not like the "patch" of whatever over the big toe that I could not see well from the main photo. My fault. Returned.

The material used to connect the sole and the upper made for a narrow fit over the toes. Fine for walking around. Not a true running shoe.

Super light weight. I’d compare them to water shoes. They are effectively a stretchy sock with a sole. I walked in them for a week an began to develop joint pain from the lack of any stability. Might be good for a lightweight racing application but not for repetitive trading or anything other than pavement or treadmill.

I bought these shoes for my 13 year old son at the beginning of the school year back in August. After six months the side of the shoe where the fabric meets the sole started to split. My son doesn't play sports and isn't hard on shoes. He only wears them to school and around home. I've bought Nike's for years but this style does not hold up. I would at least have hoped to get a school year out of them. I've had better luck with Asics

Fits fine, but there are casual shoes, not running shoes

They squeak! When I walk on a hard floor, they squeak. Everywhere I go. Heads turn when I walk into a store. I can't tiptoe around. My family is embarrassed to be seen with me. Other than that they are comfortable and fit well. So I continue to wear them despite the social opprobrium they bring.

I have always worn Nike shoes for running and I've always work NIke Men's shoes for running. These are the first shoes I've ever had to return because they felt just about a 1/2 size smaller. I love the color, and I think Nike makes the best running shoes, these just didn't work for me.

These shoes fit perfectly and were extremely comfortable right out of the box, but the treads on the bottom started falling apart within two months. Specifically the honeycomb print on the treads results in outmost rim not being attached to much. The outer pieces of the tread started flipping up and ripping off. Total waste of money.

Inside the back of the shoe has a hard plastic under the liner. Started to bend inwards and rubbing against the inside of my foot after normal wearing. Returned for refund and ordered entirely different sneaker.

This shoe is hit or miss. I ordered a few pairs and almost all (but one) of them had glue everywhere. It looked very unappealing, Nike needs better quality control and I don't blame Zappos at all because their service is always above and beyond. Almost EVERYTHING on the shoe is glued on which is probably why it was such a mess. If you get a good pair, it's a great looking and comfortable shoe.

Even though these are correctly labeled as having neutral support, I was hoping they would still be comfortable. But I found there to be no support at all. Would probably work better for someone with over supination. The style was also not as appealing once in hand.

No support, especially in the ankle and instep. Not comfortable.

Unfortunately, I cannot say that I purchased these running shoes to actually run in. That being said, I can't give a true review of these shoes for what their purpose intended; however, I will give a short overview on why I purchased these. I purchased these shoes to wear around on a daily basis thinking they would be similar to my Nike Trainers, with a flatter sole and decent arch support. These are definitely for running only. The arches seemed very pronounced, more than most running shoes i've worn and the sole to the toe is curved (for running, obviously). Even if I did order these shoes for running I doubt I would like them very much given that the arch seemed to press heavily into my foot when the shoes were laced up and it almost felt like my foot was uneven, or at an angle inside the shoe. I got the feeling that it wouldn't be the most fun shoe to break in...The positive thing is that the style of the shoe is great! That's primarily why I hoped they would work out for me. The slight color contrast between the sole (black) and the upper (dark gray) was very appealing and the quality seemed to be very solid on these shoes as well. Maybe these would be great for others to try out but they would not be my choice of running shoes.

Way to narrow, very tight along instep. Received damaged. Zappos was great as always. Even spent time helping with locating wide shoes. The best place to shop.

These felt really, really narrow.

I'm a huge fan of Nike and had many of their shoes. This shoe looks great, but felt horrible on my feet. The shoe's tongue is obtrusive and put uncomfortable pressure on my large toe joints. I wanted to like them due to their sleek simple design and look, but they simply were too uncomfortable to wear. I am returning them.

These shoes fit fairly well but were terrible to wear. The sole of the shoe had a pattern of dots that suction-cupped to the floor whenever walking. It not only made an obnoxious noise but was funky to walk in. We will not be buying this style ever again. These were returned because it was so terrible to wear.

I would like these shoes very much, if not for a really bad design change made from the previous model 7. Model 7 had a toe reinforcement that ran the entire width of the shoe. Model 8 changed the toe reinforcement to only cover the big toe area. In my case, that meant that my big toe popped through the shoe in only a few weeks, ruining the shoes and making them worthless. It was a dumb change that can't have saved Nike more than a fraction of a penny, but a change that turned a great, stylish comfortable shoe into a very poor value. I won't be back until Nike can make a new version that can last for at least a few months.

Ordered these 7 months ago. They felt good when new, but writing this review because 7 months later, they're falling apart—uppers separating from the footbeds in 2 places. I know Nike aren't known for durability, but this is ridiculous.

Delivery Delayed and its not even Christmas. What used to be next day delivery has drastically slowed down. Ordered on Thurs and as of Sunday, there still isn't a committed to delivery date. Just the fact that it will be shipped

Fit great, however after my son wore them for a week and a large tear appeared at the seam on the lateral side of the shoe. Would not buy these again. Luckily, Zappos has an awesome 30 day runlimited guarantee. So we just sent them back and they refunded my account.
