Not A Good Update To The Free Run

Not a good update to the Free Run 2018 or the Free Run Flynit that are now sadly sold out. The heel is entirely too wide, and not even on both sides. It almost throws your gait off- you can slide your whole foot over by taking a step. Very tight on the ankle too, despite getting my normal size. They feel cheap. The old Free Run was a fan favorite- this is a really bad upgrade. People loved it for a reason. “If it ain’t broke- don’t fix it” applies here.

Lightweight Shoes

Fantastic lightweight shoe. Great for driving, casual every day wear and light gym workout. I get 2 pairs.

Better Looking In Person

Bought these a couple weeks ago. Fantastic shoe. Nice and lightweight. Comfortable. Looks even better in person than the pictures. Great summer shoe.

Please Keep This Show Around!

My favorite shoe on earth. Glad there was a restock. Just hoping they keep it alive with more colorways in the future. There’s no other Nike shoe even close to this. Low drop, light, and flexible.

Defective

My husband and I have loved Free Run for years. They are super light and well-fitted so easy to pack. They've been the best hotel gym shoes when we travel. After only 15 times of light workout, one of the eyelets fell off. They were only for travel, and were worn only in the indoor hotel gym. My husband has had more than 5 pairs of Free Run, but this is the first time they have broken so quickly and easily. I think they are defective. Can Nike help this?

Love Them

Absolutely love these shoes. Been a Nike free fan since the first ones came out. These don’t miss. Thinking about buying another set just for when I wear these out.

Great For Pt

Best running shoes. Personally I like a thin running shoe and this delivers that feeling, it’s just enough cushion to give you that spring without feeling like you’re not connected to the ground.

Comfy, But Won't Last Long!

Super comfortable, but the soles do not last long. I owned these for 6 months and only did moderate walking most days and the soles have been worn thin on the ball of my foot.

Comfortable But Don’t Last Long

Quality is trash. Shoes are comfortable and light but they wear fast with just casual use. So i can’t imagine trying to work out in these. Bottoms wore out in less than 3 months.. smooth with no tread. Not worth the price even on sell

Like I texted earlier I didn’t receive any discounts I was expecting to receive

Shoes are comfortable, fit just right and very light weight. Perfect for daily use.

Love the design and price but they make noise. A squishing sound. Both pairs I got do it.

Heel Way Too High

Could be 5* but for some reason the heel is 2 inches higher than the rest of the shoe.

Not super stoked on these shoes. Pretty unstable even when I tie the shoe strings tight. Probably wouldn’t recommend for anybody looking to move quickly.

Size Inconsistency With This Brand

Nike is very inconsistent with their shoe sizes. My previous purchase of 9 1/2 is very spacious and requires thick socks to fit, but then I purchased the same size on this guy and it's so tight it's almost not wearable. I'm too lazy to return it but this prevents me from purchasing regularly from this brand. This is the second time I experience size inconsistency with this brand.
