These are my new favorite shoes. They're the most comfortable tennis shoes I've ever owned. My heels always get blisters, even after I've broken in a pair of shoes. My heel bones stick out and shred the back seam of every pair of tennis shoes and hiking shoes I've ever owned...until these. The heels in these shoes have a stretchy panel right at the sensitive & sharp spot on my heels, which makes all the difference. I'm considering buying three more pairs right now, just so I can always have these shoes. They're pretty low-profile, as far as athletic shoes go. I like my shoes to be more understated, and these fit that bill. I got the black with white soles, and they're very classic & go with everything. I can wear them to work out or take a walk, or go to work (I have a casual dress office). Because of the lockdown, I haven't been in a situation yet where I have to wear shoes all day, but I expect these would be winners for comfort at that, too.

VERY comfy - and that's saying a lot for me because I have a large foot, but mostly due to my toes - - so usually shoes don't fit right. These, however, have a kind of funky toe - -lots of space in the toe box, so there's too much material there, making the shoe look wrinkly. The color is cool - - but I'm returning these because of the wrinkles.

Loved the color and style, but it was very tight. I have small, narrow, bony feet and this still felt extremely small.

I owned an earlier version of the Flex Experience and liked it very much. This one seems like much poorer quality - far less satisfactory. And there are no longer any pull-on loops on the back. Please, Nike, leave well enough alone!

I was disappointed to have to return these. I have worn Nike’s for years and these were more of an aerobic shoe than a running shoe. It is very light weight , flexible, and comfortable, but not well cushioned and lacking in quality .

After only 45min in these shoes outside in a work-out, these shoes look like I had them for 5yrs. They seem to lot the shape. As I looked down at the shoes, they really looked like I had them a very long time. And I had just gotten them to wear from you all. So, I think I will not purchase another pair for a while. I do have three other pairs that I have no issues at with. So I'm good. Thnx :-)

My experience with Nike in general is that it runs narrow and smaller. Through years of wearing Flex and Free models, they are notorious for that. Recommend ordering 1/2 size larger than normal. Very lightweight and comfortable shoes for walking and casual use but limited for running based upon any personal foot issues and type of running as not much arch support or cushioning. I go to Asics for my daily running.

Daughter got them first. Then father. Then mother. Ridiculously comfortable. We'll see how durable they are, but man, you do fall in love with them out of the box.

Runs Small. Needed 1/2 size larger, and they size I needed were no longer in stock. Boo Hoo! I loved these shoes, they are beyond adorable and had I had the right size I think they'd be very comfortable. Love the styling. No wonder they were selling out. Ended up going with the Nike Roshe One, which I still really liked but these would have been my first choice. Still love zappos though, great free 2 way shipping and wonderful customer service!

These sneakers are super cute. They don’t make your feet look bulky which is something that bothers me about other running shoes. I would recommend going with a wide width for that extra comfy space especially if your have wide feet or like wearing thicker socks!

I never have to buy wide width but I did with this pair. Otherwise super comfortable with lots of support and lightweight almost feel as if wearing nothing.

I normally wear a size 8 US and it felt a bit tight at first but as I wore them through the day, they molded perfectly to my feet. They are very comfortable and I can match them with everything!

The toe box was not roomy enough for my foot, but it is a nice looking shoe and I think it is probably a nice shoe for someone without weirdly shaped feet. If it had not been for that issue I think they would have fit well. I wear a size 9 wide and have had back surgery which causes my feet to hurt. My feet may be hypersensitive but it felt like the shoe was pressing down hard on my great toes.

Liner was too small for the shoe and was hurting my daughter's feet as she walked. If you place hand on the inside of the shoe, you can feel the gap between edge of line and the shoe. The gap was approx 1/4 inch around the entire toe box of the shoe.

I found these to be too snug even in the ‘wide’ selection. I’m sad I have to return because other than width they felt great.

8.5 med in Stone Mauve was too short. Also not cushioned enough and looked cheaply made. Not what I expect from Nike.
I'd also recommend:

I've been buying Nike Frees for both running and walking for years. Now that it seems difficult to find them I decided to try these. The one good thing about them is that the sole is flexible like the Free. Unfortunately, they feel really flat and have no cushion and really minimal arch support. I wouldn't even go for a walk in them.
