I recived the shoes a few days before I ran the Philadelphia marathon so I had them on ice untill I got that done. It's been two weeks since that race and since then I have been on a few easy runs with these shoes to get my legs back. At first I was skeptical because on the face the sneakers do not look like a serious running shoes. I usually use something simple like a pair of Pegasus for my easy runs but on my first day out I realized that these were great. I find the sole of the shoe to be both soft and supportive, somewhere in between the React foam and the ZoomX. I also like the upper, it's light yet supportive and it my feet didn't get cold in 30 degree weather. In terms of sizing I think you guys got it right, they fit great out the box. The most I’ve ran in ... MoreI recived the shoes a few days before I ran the Philadelphia marathon so I had them on ice untill I got that done.

The most I’ve ran in them is about 6 miles, not sure if I would do more than that, maybe like eight but it's a solid 6 mile shoe.

First thing first, these shoes are super comfortable in terms of their feedback and response. And since they are light enough, I was able to run more effortlessly.However, even from Day 1, I had a feeling of my foot rolling inward, even while standing, even though I am a neutral runner. This feeling got a bit stronger as the distance of my each run increases over the past 3 months. After putting about 200 miles on them, I decided to try some other shoes for neutral runners and such feeling just disappeared.The wear on the shoes are noticeable after 200 miles and I'd say the durability is good enough.I still love the response and feedback of my Joyride Dual, but maybe they are just not for me.

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I've worn. The impact on the heel is so soft, and I recoup quicker after running in these than I do running in other sneakers. I notice less stiffness in my body the day after using these, which I've attributed to the cushioning on the sneaker. I would say the most durable part of the sneaker is the heel and mid-sole, and the front is a bit less supportive than the rest, FYI. Like most Nike's, these run just a bit small so I turned my 11.5 into 12's and they fit perfectly. Looking forward to logging many miles with these, and seeing how long they last. So far, so good.

A little different from what I though when I viewed these online. Didn't pay attention to the sockliner fit. They are snug, running a little smaller than expected. They look great in pictures, but are a little boxier in real life. My wife said they look like old man shoes, which may be in this year. Pretty comfortable overall, but hard to get just right when wearing socks. Good ventilation throughout. No removable insole if you need orthotics.
I have a metaphorical 6th toe. Really, it's just a bone that protrudes from my pinky toe making shoe fit a challenge. There's always a small bulge there. Though these Nike shoes look narrow from the photo, I was able to fit into them comfortably albeit the bulge is still there (as it is with every shoe I wear). It will take several break in wears but the initial fit was comfortable.The cushioning is amazing though running with it may be a little awkward but that's my opinion. It's lightweight and seems durable. I'm curious how the sole will hold up in the long run but overall these shoes are comfortable even for wide feet.
I have worn men's Nike size 10.5 US for two decades but had to move up to a size 11 for this pair. I have a fairly narrow foot and Nike usually fits me really well; the 11's feel like they have more width to them than I have typically had in other Nike running shoes though. I really do like the feel of the shoes - very cushioned so long as I do not tie them too tight. While I would typically prefer a very tight set of laces, I have to back off on these or I really feel the laces on the top of my feet. There is also a strange feel just forward of the ball of my feet - as though there is a bump or ridge underneath but I don't see anything inside or out that would be causing the issue. COVID is causing long shipping times so I might have otherwise returned them for a ... MoreI have worn men's Nike size 10.5 US for two decades but had to move up to a size 11 for this pair.

The shoe is Athletic and lightweight. Pro FIFA began with the wright ball and the correct shoe. the shoe makes practice easier because of how comfortable. its affordability makes the buyers more likely to purchase other styles/ colors. If I purchased this pair at 50 dollars now I can purchase additional footwear to ensure a smooth practice. I wish school was open so I could continue laughing at this stage of FIFA. In the future I will have superior control!
Definitely some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Right up there with Ultraboost! I can wear them all day and they never bottom out! I've heard people say the beads under your heel can be an uncomfortable "texture", but I didn't really notice it because there is padding in the built-in insole. Also, even though there's no Joyride beads in the front of the shoe, the cushion in the front is extremely comfortable. It feels very squishy like react. The only downside I would see is they don't clean up very easy when they get dirty. Wouldn't call myself a runner, but these shoes go with pretty much any clothing, whether it be Jeans, Sweats, or shorts.
I was surprised how many problems I had with these shoes. I gave them two stars on the basis that they appear well made, but they had many fit and function issues. One star for fit and function, I guess.First, let me say I have a very average size 9 medium foot. Almost every shoe I buy is a size 9 medium, and the are generally spot on in sizing. These Nike’s were much too tight as a size 9, so I exchanged him for size 9.5. When I slipped the 9.5’s on, they also felt somewhat snug, but I went ahead and tested them. During a three mile walk with the dog, they proved themselves to be utterly unusable. Here are the issues:First, the toebox is much too tight, feeling as if there was a rubber band around my toes. Secondly, there is a strip of fabric that crosses ... MoreI was surprised how many problems I had with these shoes.

Secondly, there is a strip of fabric that crosses across the top of your foot at the base of the laces. That strip also into the foot top just behind the toebox. Third, the shoe bottom does not have sharp edges as most running or fitness shoes, but has rounded edges, As you walk, you feel fairly unstable with your feet rolling this way and that, depending on the contour of the surface you're walking on. This seems very dangerous to me. Fourth, there was a distinct lack of padding just underneath the ball of my foot behind the big toe.I would avoid these shoes unless you had the opportunity to try them on, use them, and still found them to work for you. They most certainly did not work for me at all, and felt fairly dangerous!
I bought these basing my purchase on the reviews. Most of the reviews say buy a half size bigger, which I did. You really need a full size bigger. I wear a 10.5 and bought and 11 and my toes were crunched in. The sole is not removable so if you use insoles for running it's impossible to get them on with the insoles. The sole they give you is flat as a pancake and I know will wear down I a few runs. Don't buy these for running. They would make a great shoe for every day wear but with high impact running it's not ideal. They're going back.
