Great Shoe!

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

I recently experienced some knee issues and had to work with a coach to change my gate. After a lifetime of leaning forward and kicking my legs out, transition to a more upright "shuffling gate" has been challenging but very effective in terms of anatomical comfort. It has also allowed me to rely less on heel striking....and thus opened up some new shoe possibilities. I have always liked Nike's fit but have been hesitant to go with a "barefoot" style shoe in the past. I gave these a try and they have been GREAT. Very light weight, but cushioned enough that I feel like I don't need any other shoes. (I am a 10K-ish guy.) I have put about 100 miles on them so far, and they seem to be holding up very well, as they should. When it gets below freezing, I usually leave these at home. Not much fabric, so toes get cold. I ordered my normal size. They are snug, but comfortable. Overall a great shoe.

I usually wear a 9 and for some reason not paying any heed to the previous reviews and comments I went ahead and ordered a 9. Alas, I was left to rue that these are made a bit too small. I went half a size up and that sorted all the 'get the foot into the thing' problems.. I am usually a big fan of nike shoes especially for the comfort it provides. I always feel that it has been tailormade to my requirements. This shoe doesn't disappoint. Decent grip and perfect cushioning. I hate to go on long walks with bad shoes but these are so good that I ran across the blocks twice as much. I was heaving and puffing at the end of it but my feet felt just fine. I can't comment on durability as I finished two weeks with these as of now. So far its holding its part of the deal. If it goes otherwise, i'll post an update. There are a bit pricey but if you can afford these go for it. Just remember to order half a size up.

Comfy but a bit tight

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a very comfortable pair of shoes. I like to use it not only for running - but also for my everyday go-to shoes for almost every activity. As advertised, it's not hot at all with its breathable surface and I love to use it for running. I'm not an athlete or hardcore runner so I can't say how it'll feel for experts - but I personally feel it's comfortable.

Although, it is a bit too tight for me. I usually use 10.5 sized shoes and I ordered size 11 for this one because I read other's reviews before purchasing it. And they're right - it is a bit small and I highly suggest you to purchase 1 size bigger than your normal size.

I bought a pair of Free 3 several years ago mainly for the fact that they're super comfortable and super light - they take up way less space when you travel as well (which was another BIG selling point for me). I did think the first pair I bought was a bit on the snug side and after reading many new reviews stating the same thing, I decided to just bump my new pair up a half size (from an 11 to 11.5) they fit beautifully and I'm just breaking them in now before I go on a lengthy vacation in Europe where I'm sure the shoes (and me) will be put through their paces.

Completely satisfied customer

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

Grip: I wouldn't run through mud or wet grass in these, as they don't have much grip for those conditions. On dry concrete or pavement, though, they're good.

Comfort: I wear these very frequently, and have never had an issue. The material is comfortable and can be worn straight out of the box. I get blisters fairly easily, and these gave me absolutely no problems on that front. I wouldn't wear them if I were going to be standing for long periods, but if you're going to be walking around they're right up there with anything I've ever had. They can be worn comfortably with or without socks, and the insole actually does appear to help reduce odor and sweat.

Durability: I wear these all day probably 4 times a week, and I've also gone running in them. They're holding up really well. I am surprised at how sturdy the soft midsole material holds up, as it also makes up nearly all of the outsole.

Still an excellent shoe at version 5.0.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

Still an excellent shoe at version 5.0. Good fit, good quality construction, and very light. This is my 5th or 6th pair of the Nike Free: my first pair was purchased in 2008 or so. I'm always a little concerned that a newer version of a product will sacrifice quality for profit, but every version of this shoe has worked well for me. One ding against it: the "waffle iron" tread picks up rocks easily, but it also provides much better flexibility than other treads. So I can live with stopping to dislodge the occasional rock.

Comfortable shoes

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

These shoes are comfortable but they're a bit snug so you may want to order a size up. The only other thing is that find out how much support you need in a running shoe before purchasing this shoe, for instance if you need knee and ankle support these shoes aren't for you because the way these shoes are made is that they're so light and thin that they make you feel as though you're bare foot. So I just wear these if I want to go run errands or don't have to get dressed up or anything like that. Personally for running I bought the Nike Lunarglide+ 5 running shoes and they're incredibly comfortable and supportive. So just know that these are great shoes but just figure out how much support you really need

Super bequem! Hat sich definitiv gelohnt!

Ich habe mir diese Schuhe auf Empfehlung mehrerer Leute jetzt schlussendlich gekauft. Ich bereue nichts!
Dieser Schuh ist federleicht und einfach nur mega bequem. Normalerweise tendiere ich extrem dazu blasen zu bekommen, bei diesen Schuhen war das nicht der Fall. Man hat zum Teil das Gefühl gar keine Schuhe zu tragen.
Was an dieser Stelle dennoch erwähnt werden muss: Ich würde, so wie bereits mehrfach in den Kommentaren gesagt wurde diese Schuhe definitiv ein bis zwei Nummern größer kaufen. Normalerweise trage ich 43-44. Habe mir diese Schuhe aufgrund der Bewertungen in 45 gekauft, passt jetzt sehr gut, dürfte aber nicht wirklich kleiner sein. 44 wäre schmerzhaft geworden.

Deshalb: Kaufempfehlung auf jeden Fall, aber größer als die eigentliche Schuhgröße.
