Nike Men's Free 5.0+ Black/Dark Grey/White/Metallic Dark Grey 579959-002 Review: Love these shoes!!! - 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. Review: Great Shoe! - 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.

Good. A bit tight on top
These shoes are very comfortable and light. My only complaint is a they feel somewhat tight on the top of my foot. I've only had them for a few days so it might be that I haven't adjusted the lacing properly. On the plus side I was worried they wouldn't feel as good as regular running shoes but they performed just fine. I will try and update my post once I have them broken in a bit more.

Straight Forward Comfort Shoe for Runners
Great show and meets all my needs. I've always wanted a pair and found Amazon to have the better values. Light weight and very comfortable. Others may wear these for casual wear, but I only wear these for exercising. I've had these for the past year (sorry, my review is past due), but perhaps my review is worth more now than when fresh out of the box. I've actually put them through the grind and these have definitely met my needs in terms of comfort and fundtionality. I would definitely buy these shoes again again and recommend these to anyone looking for a straight forward running shoe.

Comfortable shoes
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

Comfortable and versatile casual shoe
I have loved the feel and comfort of Nike Frees for years. This is my third pair, and they do not disappoint. Although they run a little snug, they are still comfortable to wear all day--they feel like a combination of sneakers and slippers. I especially like that they now have an unattached tongue, unlike my previous pairs. This makes them easier to put on. They are also handsome enough to wear in most situations as a casual shoe.

Still an excellent shoe at version 5.0.
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.

0 (previous version to +) and absolutely love those shoes
I am training for a marathon and have been using the Nike Free 5.0 (previous version to +) and absolutely love those shoes. Since I have a few hundred miles on them I decided to get a new pair and upgrade to the latest. Big mistake. These shoes run smaller than the originals and also are noticeably hotter than the originals. I am running in Virginia in the summer months so keeping my feet cool is a big priority. I have put about 20 miles on the 5.0+ and they seem to be stretching out some. I will try to wear them once the weather gets cooler and the heat is not such an issue, but honestly wish I had purchased the regular 5.0 ones like I had.

Ottime scarpe
Ottime scarpe, leggere e comode per correre alla perfezione sia sul cemento che su terra o erba, sono così leggere che sembra di non averle ai piedi

値段も安いし!
届いたので、早速、室内でため試履きしてみました。 サイズも丁度で、ぴったり。 軽くてとても気に入りました。 来週あたりから、屋外でウォーキングから始めて、ジョギングをしようと思います。 これでナイキプラスを始めてみようと思ってます。

Super
Seit 4 Jahren habe ich große Probleme die richtigen Schuhe zu finden,weil ich mir damals das Sprunggelenk gebrochen habe und täglich schmerzen im Bein habe. Meiner Meinung nach hat man in den Schuhen automatisch einen tollen geraden Gang und rollt den Fuß auch immer richtig ab, was für mich sehr wichtig ist, für ein einigermaßen schmerzfreies gehen. Dazu sind die Schuhe auch noch sehr bequem, leicht und stylisch...Rundum ein gelungener Schuh für den Alltag und Sport.

Great as expected
I had been wearing flat skate shoes (vans, converses) for years prior for pretty much everything including sports. I finely had enough of the pain and blisters and splashed out for these warlocks! Very very comfy, so much support and also very light. I despise going back to my vans.... Great pair, make sure to get exactly your size.
