Customer Reviews Nike Free RN 5.0

Perfect

Great shoes! The upper construction is stretchy and pretty comfortable overall. Really like how different these look. Fits well going TTS.

Bought for husband’s indoor hiit type workouts. They are light weight and comfortable, per him. He has preferred the Nike Free type shoes for these workouts and this latest edition did not disappoint.

I have to admit it, I have wide feet. Sometimes I wear regular sizes and it just works for me. But this one was so narrow for my toes. Overall, they look remarkable on my feet, but I had to return them back. If you wear narrow shoes with an arch in your feet, then this pair of shoes is just right for you; lucky you, I guess.

Best running shoes ever!!!

Lightweight and stylish - they provide cushion for those who run/are active!

A lot of reviews are saying either the shoes were either running too big OR too small? Thats weird, so I went ahead and ordered my size and the shoes fit true at least for me. Nice running shoes that fit snug and tight without even lacing them up, so when you do tighten them you are ready for whatever. I like them.

Definitely runs small - ordered a half size up after receiving the first pair that was too small.

Light and very comfortable, stylish

I love it Buy how could be possible after receiving my shoes are more cheaper than I paid

These are quite comfortable but run a little larger than other Nike shoes.

I don’t like how hard they are to slip on.

love the shoe! super comfy and cute. just ran really big. i am a 7.5 and they felt like an 8 or 8.5 so i’d recommend sizing down at least half a size.

It is a bit snug and the seams take some getting used to. A definite change for the Free’s. If on clearance pick up a pair.

It feels fine, comparable to my last shoe which was the FREE RN 2018. Same shoe size. Compared to the FREE RN 2018, these shoes have less material around the ankle and look more sporty in toe/heel shape. The lower design around the ankle is starting to bother me visually as a pair of shoes I wear every day.

I bought these for my husband. He wears a 10.5 shoe but an 11.5 in Nike, we had to exchange for the 12. The 12 is working in length, but he is still debating the width. He does not have a wide foot, but these are snug. He loves the soft heel of a Nike Free, that is why we might keep them. Good looking though!!

Fit on the foot was great and snug but the stitching in the lower part of the shoe was hard and wore a sore on little toe

Typically Nike size for me but if you have a wide foot, you will have to allow for break-in.... These were extremely tight but fit like a sock after about a week of wear.

Best sneakers I ever bought. But, Nike sign will fall off. The one on the front.

Too narrow for my foot. Felt like the top of the shoe was squeezing the life out of my foot.

Honestly these shoes are not as bad as ppl claim they are. Really only ordered to confirm size and these were the cheapest but the colors actually grew on me. They’re not for ppl with wide feet, obviously. They are a relatively snug fit but not too narrow. They also are a quarter inch longer than your typical Nike shoe. As you can imagine, they are a minimalist type of shoe and the application you use them for is really dependent on your overall physicality. Most athletic shoes today have pretty high offsets with loads of cushioning because the average person doesn’t have the proper strength in their arch and supporting muscles to wear a minimalist type of shoe for extended durations. I am in relatively good shape but even wearing these shoes for 6-8 hrs I started to feel some discomfort. If you’re in great shape and know you have a strong foundation and proper posture then you will have no problem wearing these shoes for working out, training, or short distance running. If you’re in decent shape like me then you may want to purchase some soft foam/gel inserts for a little extra cushioning as there really isn’t any apart from the ‘free’ sole itself. If you are not in the best of shape and are not accustomed to Nike Free’s or minimalist type shoes with low offsets then I would highly advise against these shoes or at the very least wear them sparingly until you gradually build strength in your arches and supporting muscles. From my standpoint, I actually love these shoes even though I know my foundation isn’t strong enough to wear these comfortably all day. I love them because they actually look amazing on your feet. It’s by far the biggest change in appearance Nike has made to the free run line up or any running shoe for that matter and I personally love it. I just hope all the negative feedback from consumers that don’t understand their body and the purpose of these shoes, doesn’t cause Nike to scrap this new style of free’s because they look the best in my opinion. Maybe add a more cushioned insole and tweak the exaggerated heal but other than that, I would love to see them roll out a 2nd & 3rd gen model of these in the future. Now that I know the feel/fitment I’m definitely picking up a couple more pairs in different colors and so glad they offer NikeID so I can customize a few! Overall, I hope this review helps you make an informed decision whether or not to purchase. My first ever order with Zappo’s and I am more than pleased! So glad I noticed their “Free 1 day shipping on Mobile App” before I ordered off the website. I was skeptical at first cuz Amazon is my go to and often times they deliver later than stated and mobile apps can be buggy but Zappos is everything they’ve claimed to be and more! The mobile app works seamlessly and has so many features it’s quite impressive. My package got to Htx from the Midwest literally overnight for FREE! Zappos - you guys are awesome!

Contrast to some reports, the size is correct compare to my other Nike shoes. Keep in mind, the shoes feel bit narrower due to sock like stretchy/elastic material that warp around top of your foot. I need few days to break it to reduced tightness.

Some say that this show is larger than normal, but I wear a 12 and their 12 left my toes jammed. Will try a 12-1/2". Also, the elastic opening takes a "lot" of pressure to push one's foot into the shoe, and I hope the 12=1/2 might give a little more give.

Nice looking shoe but runs small and no support

This is a running shoe (obviously) and by that I mean it is designed to support that function. It is less comfortable for everyday use like I was hoping. Fit is tight and the sole is contoured for running support. Ended up returning the product.
