[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall these sneakers were so comfortable between wearing to the gym and wearing to work all day I love them! The design is so cool too! I’m only giving a 4 star review because the tongue of the sneaker and the back of the ankle left some irritation on my ankle! I think it’s because I don’t typically wear sneakers with higher ankle support! Overall awesome sneaker if this is something you typically wear

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit of the shoe was true to size maybe borderline snug. If you’re looking for a little more room then I would size up a bit. This is probably suitable for narrow to medium width feet. The shoe is very lightweight! I was quite surprised. As someone with high arches and who needs arch support, I will be swapping out my insoles so that I can have the support I need. Before trying them on, I wasn’t so sure about the design - it seemed too busy to me. When I put it on, I was pleasantly surprised! All the lines in the design gave my foot a flattering appearance. Very breathable mesh, perfect for these hot summer days. Overall, pleased with the shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are really comfortable. I’ve gone on plenty of long walks with these shoes and my feet or legs never felt tired after them. They aren’t too heavy and they are soft and comfortable to walk around in. The zoom cushion on the bottom of these shoes makes them even more comfortable. They are stylish enough that you can dress them up or dress them down. Sizing wise I went up half a size and they still felt really good and not too big. If you have wider or flat feet you should be okay with going up half a size and still feeling comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love these! I wore them one day leisurely for 10 hours. I went to the gym and wore them for the rest of the day at work. They are so comfortable. I love the cushion inside the shoe; you can feel the support. That alone sold me. These shoes are very well made and I enjoy the design. If you have to be on your feet for hours, whether for a run or looking for comfortable shoes for work, definitely go for these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Zoom Skylon 11 has a great retro runner style and is perfect for casual wear. It's very similar to the Zoom Vomero 5 which I love and has a similar look and feel. It's comfortable but I did find it to run a little narrow in the toe box. It has grooves in the midsole that allow for a lot of flexibility similar to a Nike Free shoe. While it's a great stylish shoe for casual wear, I wouldn't recommend it for long runs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Nike in general and this shoe is no exception. I really like this black on black color way and also the reflective moments on the tongue of the shoe. I appreciate how light this shoe is and how airy it is also. It’s really hot here and the breathe-ability of this shoe sets it apart from the others for sure! This shoe runs true to size, but if you have a more narrow or thin foot I recommend a thicker sock for walking long distances. I was able to wear these shoes for several hours and they proved to be very comfortable. They are very light, cool/breathable, and cute. I plan to not only walk in these for exercise but also add them to my daily rotation for everyday wear as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: these shoes are very lightweight and sleek. The mesh honeycomb design is very breathable especially easy for me to wear for 8 hours straight as a nurse. The sole is very flexible which is again great for a nurse who has to bend and move. The design is eye catching with the symmetrical detail on the sides. The laces are rounded and stay tied which is great if you are running around. Cons: the toe box is slightly tight which can be uncomfortable for wider feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are lightweight and breathable. You can feel your feet make contact with the surface providing stability. I wore them during my work shift and after work workout, and was comfortable in them all day(12 hours of wear). It is a mesh shoe so I wouldn’t advise running or walking in them in the rain if you don’t like to get your socks or feet wet. I can see myself purchasing multiple pairs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve enjoyed wearing the Nike Zoom Skylon 11. They fit true to size and were pretty comfortable right out of the box. They do rub on my Achilles in the back so I wear socks that come up in the back to help. I’ve mostly worn them for everyday errands and walking, and they’ve stayed comfortable even after being on my feet for hours. I love the retro look—it stands out without being too flashy and goes with almost everything I wear. The materials feel well made and durable, so they seem like they’ll hold up over time. My favorite thing is the stylish, retro look. If I could change anything, I’d make the material on the top of the heel softer, but overall I’d definitely recommend them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sneaker itself is really comfortable. It fits nicely, true to size, and has a high level of cushion which helps while running, especially for pronated feet people like me. I also enjoy the mesh material. It makes the shoe feel more breathable and lightweight, which is exactly what you want while training. The function I have no issues with. Unfortunately, the design is where a majority of my critiques fall. While I do like the reflective bands on the tongue of the sneaker for contrast, the black on black design in combination with the shape of the shoe makes it appear either like a sports cleat, or like a shoe I would wear to serve tables. As a former server, I can honestly say that this would be a good option. Unfortunately, that means comfort is prioritized over aesthetic. I’d love to see this sneaker in a different set of colors. Any contrast rather than black on black would personally make it a lot more appealing and more wearable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These sneakers remind me of vomeros in terms of style not comfort. They have similar bottoms styles which makes them look really nice. I took a run with them which wasn’t the most comfortable, they don’t have a lot of support like a lot of other running shoes have but I did love them for when I went on a bike ride and ran errands. Wouldn’t recommend for running, maybe just casual walks/errands. Not uncomfortable just not a shoe made for long term running. Run true to size!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not a fan of the look of these shoes, especially the all black color, but the fit is the worst part of this shoe. While it looks like an athletic shoe, it is made like a sneaker. There is very little cushion for the sole of the foot and absolutely no arch support. I wouldn’t recommend these unless you just love the look of them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are very fierce. They might even be a little stiff however, it might just be my ankles/feet. The only area of them that wasn't flexible or fit my shape very well was the back on either side of my heel. They didn't cause any blisters or anything they just pressed into my ankle a little more than I'd like. I wore them golfing for 18 holes and I really enjoyed the structure of the sides and the sole. They kept my feet from sliding as well as my ankles from twisting and sliding swing after swing. I really appreciated the structure in my heels, they weren't rounded or felt like the air pockets were too much and could cause me to shift in my shoes while swinging my club. I also wore them while lifting weights (leg day). The solid platform the sole provided was ideal for me. I was able to keep my feet flat and have even balance while squatting and lunging. I don't think I would wear them running, again, just because the backs were pressing in on my heels. The material of these shoes is super solid and I really liked the design of the rubber that runs from the toe up to the laces and down the sides with the swoosh cutting through the rubber. They are very stylish and they do have reflective stripes that run up the tongue so if you were to run at night you would be noticed. They are a thick mesh like material allowing for air flow which for me is super vital on those hot days being active outside. I can't wait to spend a little more time breaking these in, I think they could become my turn to lifting shoe, but they would be great to just chase kids in as well as grocery getting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Zoom Skylon 11 is a light weight shoe and very comfortable. I love the style and look. Definitely an everyday shoe. The only downside is I normally wear a size 8 in Nike and still have decent room but on this shoe I could have went to a 8.5 to have the same feel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are soo comfortable. Even right out of the box, they fit perfectly and even after my first cardio session at the gym my feet didn’t hurt. And the all black is perfect to match with any workout gear
