These shoes are so great (!) but they run a bit small. I have wide feet, but in other styles I see no difference. I would strongly recommend buying a half size bigger. Otherwise love! (I was a little surprised because my size was perfect in the 87s. Takeaway = 1/2 size bigger, you will love!

I have nueropathy in my left foot from a botched Achilles tear surgery. I have been through over 50 shoes to find one the is somewhat comfortable. This shoe has the heal support but it is not constricting around my foot or ankle. This is a great shoe for comfort and support.

I’m usually a 10.5 but had to get this in a 10 and they for perfectly. They are very VERY comfortable. Great for long walks and being on your feet for long periods like a trip to Disneyland for example. They’re a bit hard to get on because the upper material is this and the tongue is flimsy (but sturdy leather) but overall super comfy and light. The material makes them breathable too.

I have a pair of Elements 87’s and love them, so this purchase was a no-brainer. I was not disappointed. Beautiful colorway, construction and comfort. Won’t wear ‘em now, cuz it’s winter in the frosty Midwest, but spring will come soon and I’ll do some serious wearing. Another great product from Nike. Don’t hesitate, these kicks are the real thing.
Unbelievably light and cushioned shoe. The closest thing to being barefoot. Excellent cushioning, especially in the heel. Runs a bit tight, so I ordered a half size larger. I like the regular insole on these as opposed to the cork in the 87's. Pretty decent support all around, especially in the heel. Takes some getting used to for running, have to be careful how you land each step. Best for flat roads and track jogging. One complaint is the tongue, which is just a piece of suede: it keeps folding and sliding down. I ended up tacking the tongues in a couple of places to keep them in place.
The shoes are great, tongue is thinner than expected so don’t be surprised! People say you need to order a size or a half size up but that isn’t the fact, order your normal size. I had to return mine through mail and am proceeding to go ahead and order my actual size. Shoes didn’t fit and they still felt great! OVERALL GREAT SHOE
I love the color way of this shoe. I really only bought it because of that. I then realized that the show is beyond comfortable. The React sole feels like it is pushing up against my foot and transferring the energy back through me to make walking, running, and jumping feel great!
I had purchased these shoes in mid April and by the beginning of June there was a hole in the toe of the shoe and the sole was completely shredded. I wore them on and off (3 times a week) and even with such minimal wear they began to fray. I have another friend that had the exact same problem as myself and we shared similar problems. For the two months they were in good condition I enjoyed them. They fit well and looked nice, however I wouldn't recommend buying a shoe if you are in the market for one that will go the distance.
I had bought these shoes looking for a good looking comfortable back to school shoe. If I had know the terrible quality I would’ve never bought them. Within one week of regular wear I could already start to find the flaws. The midsole started to unattach itself from the upper mesh of the shoe. Then the worst of all the upper mesh ripped and left a huge tear during the fourth week I had them. All within less than a month it looked like I had them for over a year. The react sole is the only positive about this shoe because of the comfort. I would not recommend these low quality shoes.
The toe box narrows almost like a soccer cleat so sizing is going to be weird. If you have wide feet order a full size up and if you have narrow feet order a half size up from your Foot size. My feet are 11.5 and a little wide so I order a 12. I like to half about a thumbs width(2cm) of space Between my big toe and the edge of the shoe and my foot to sit “in” the shoe and i get this with size 12. When i got these in the mail my toe was maybe 1cm, maybe a little more, from the edge so a 12.5 would have been perfect. I think The upper is made of the same material as the exp-x14 and the element 87. I’ll edit this once they break in.
