Made with at least 20% recycled content, the Nike Free is designed for your runs, workouts and everyday activities. With a breathable mesh upper that incorporates at least 87% recycled content by weight, it combines the flexibility you love with reliable support that keeps you close to the ground, as if you were walking barefoot. The new cushioning is lighter, softer and more dynamic than previous versions, so you'll be more comfortable with every move, whether on pavement or track. This redesigned model features a more responsive, lighter and more flexible foam than previous versions. Laser-cut grooves on the sole provide exceptional flexibility. Rubber in the forefoot and heel provide added durability. The upper is made of a breathable mesh material that gives your foot room to expand as you run. Flywire technology is integrated into the laces on the side for optimal support. As with previous versions of the Free, the heel offers the same cushioning you love for a comfortable fit. The heel tab makes it easy to put on and take off the shoe.

These shoes do the job! I use the black versions for work. As an overnight Inbound Operations Leader. It requires you to be on your feet running around non-stop! I use the white version for my gym time. From lifting, running & playing racquetball. They allow me to move freely cutting back & forth, side to side with ease.As far as maintaining cleanliness. I have even thrown in the washer & dryer. Works great. The only complaint about these shoes. Is the small swatch of cloth on the heal. Gradually after time it breaks down & rips. If they would have used same material as the rest the shoe. It would have been so much better!

Love these shoes. Very comfortable. Feel super snug on your feet without having to tie them very tight. I have been a long time fan of the Nike Free and these feel very similar to previous shoes. I would say they feel even lighter than previous iterations. Only thing is that the laces are very very thin so harder to unlace and feel like the dig into the shoe a bit more. But once I started running I couldn't tell. Would buy again.

Has great style for both exercise and even wear in the office.Compare to Free Run 2018:- lightweight- improved shoelaces reduced the likelihood of loosening- have reinforced pieces on the soles making them more durable- less likely to stick small stones in the soles- less likely to make a loud noise when walking on the ceramic/marble tiles

I ordered these based on their aesthetic and positive reviews. I’m so glad I did! My husband has an old worn out pair of Nikes in a different style that has been his favorites over any other shoe in his collection for their functionality and comfort. He loves these because they’re lightweight, comfortable and easy to put on. He described them to me as feeling like he’s wearing socks. Shows them off to people, refuses to take them off for work, errands and going out! It makes me happy because he’s not at all a sneaker connoisseur and solely judges things on their performance. I was hesitant at first because I saw the pictures fro other reviews of disintegrated pairs but Nordstrom’s policy is amazing and so far no issues for us. Highly recommend :)
Maybe the most comfortable Nike running shoe I ever bought. And stylish!!! Loved this show so much I bought 2 additional pairs in different colors. And then I started to wear them and the same issue happened with all 3 pairs, which is consistent with many other reviews. They fall apart. The mesh area around the heel rips from the sole of the shoe. Happens after only a couple months. Very disappointing. I've filed claims direct with Nike.
I bought these about a year ago and they are so comfortable and light and I just love to wear them and walk and run in them. Only problem is that the tread design allows little rocks to get stuck in the sole. Lots of rocks! I found myself stopping every couple of miles to clean them out. Worse yet is that the rocks in the Ozarks have sharp edges and will burrow their way right up into the tread, actually getting inside the tread and sticking into the soles of my feet. You see, the outer tread is pretty tough, but the material under it is very soft, almost like sponge rubber. So, sharp rocks cut right through it, and sometimes even stack up to push each other even deeper. Strangely, both shoes had this "hole in the sole" right under my heel spike, which caused me ... MoreI bought these about a year ago and they are so comfortable and light and I just love to wear them and walk and run in them.

Now I can't even take them on a road run because every rock goes up into the tread. They are still good for the treadmill though!
Really love these shoes! Thought the box they came in was empty because they are so light. Got them as just indoor/treadmill shoes and so far so good after a few weeks. Super comfortable, almost feels like you are barefoot. Got a half size larger than normal after reading some reviews and they are snug but toe has a little to much room, the way they fit makes them a little tough to get and and like I said snug but I'd say they run pretty true to size.
I actually just bought these shoes today 4-8-22. I absolutely love them, they fit my feet like they are slippers. Believe me, I LOVE my slippers. I have 2 pairs of Nike Pegasus and hate them both. Pegasus are very narrow at the front, these, they are wide where my toes don't get crushed. The lightness of these shoes, once again feel like slippers. I'm actually getting ready to order any pair, this is how comfortable they are. I'm not a runner, so they will be for casual and work. If any one had bought a pair from Dick's sporting Goods and you had problems with them they will take them back. I have return Nike shoes before with no questions asked. Why I didn't give them a 5 star review, I never give a 5 star review on anything.
PLEASE keep making these (I'll be excited for Run 6.0 too I guess). Like the other reviewer said, these are amazingly comfortable. I was semi-interested in the minimal looks of them when I saw them on the shelf but then tried them on -- seriously felt like molasses softly compressing around my feet. I like how they aren't overly chunky like so many modern runners too. I've only had them for a week so far so can't comment on durability, but I'll probably get another pair in another color just because they are that comfy.I usually wear a 10.5 or 11 and this felt just perfectly snug in 11, so it's between "runs small" and "just right."
I am 67 years old, 78 kg weight, 1.74 meters height.I run for pleasure about 20k a week, 1 long run and 2 short ones.Externally, the shoe is beautiful and attracts attention. This shoe is supposed to replace my Hoka Bondi 7 shoe. The sole and the shoe are slightly narrower than the Hoka. Because the shoe is narrower, the laces need to be spaced more, so that the foot feels comfortable in them. The laces are rough and didn't open during my first run. The tongue is padded and comfortable, although too short for my taste. The first impression of the footwear, is the softness and the soft return when stepping. I felt a little unstable, due to the narrower shoe. During the run itself, I had to get used to the slightly different running which is different from a shoe ... MoreI am 67 years old, 78 kg weight, 1.74 meters height.I run for pleasure about 20k a week, 1 long run and 2 short ones.Externally, the shoe is beautiful and attracts attention.

I don't know if it's the shoe, or because of the improved weather, which was today at 6 am, less hot and less humid, but I finished a 9.4 km run, in a good result, that I haven't achieved for a long time. And I have no problem attributing the improvement to the shoe.In conclusion, a shoe that was easy for me to get used to relatively quickly. My confidence will surely increase in the next runs. One thing you should pay attention to, I think the shoe is less resistant to wet surfaces.
