I really love this shoe, and its so fun to run in. After running in Hokas for years, this Nike is a pleasant change and with some real advanced soft plush ZoomX cushioning, but with plenty of rebound too. I have now said good bye to the narrow Hokas. The Invincible has plenty of room in the forefoot with a normal mid foot and heel shape. Also has a great tongue and wide comfy laces that lock everything down nicely. A Flyknit padded collar upper with no hots spots, I have nothing bad to say about this shoe. Its even stable enough for easy trails and running on grass or dirt roads, thanks to the very wide platform. Unlike other shoe companies that released shoes with narrow torture chamber toe boxes and tight fitting uppers with thin or rigid tongues and dated mid ... MoreI really love this shoe, and its so fun to run in.

It was very well thought out before it was released. Good job Nike, and this is also my first Nike shoe.

Fits true to size - comfortable upper and wide toe box. The insole is only 1 mm. I modified by adding a half Spenco Thinsole to lower the drop to 6 mm, and raise the forefoot stack to 30+ mm. Used on damp grass, dirt, and asphalt with no traction issues. Very stable, even crossing a grass incline. The softness and bounciness I rate as follows, using a 10/5 max scale (first number is midsole softness/second number is midsole rebound) where an Oofos is a 10 on softness: Skechers Ultra R2, Clifton 1/2/3 = 7/2; Rincon = 7/3; Maxroad 4+ = 8/3.5; Paradigm 1.5, EVO Speedgoat = 8/3; NB Propel = 8/2; Timp 1.5 = 6.5/2; Challenger ATR2 = 5/2; Skechers GoTrail Ultra 3 = 9/4; Nike Invincible = 10/4.5. IIt feels best at a moderate pace and midfoot/forefoot landing. I'm 160 lbs ... MoreFits true to size - comfortable upper and wide toe box. The insole is only 1 mm.

These are excellent for road to groomed trails or non-muddy grass. The weight becomes somewhat of an issue as you attempt to really step on it, but you can do progression or tempt runs in these, though a medium steady or recovery run is the ideal use. Great shoes!!

This shoe is as bouncy and soft as the reviews would lead you to believe. If that doesn't appeal to you, move on. If you're still interested, be aware that:- just because there's gobs of ZoomX foam, this isn't really a performance shoe; there's no plate and no real propulsive feel, nor is it a good option for tempo runs; it's just not as versatile as some other models (for example the Saucony Endorphin Speed, Hoka One One Mach 4, or even the Pegasus 37)- it's unclear how durable the midsole and outsole are, so if you need something that will last well past 300 miles, you may want to wait until there are more long-term reviews- the price is staggering, but once you try them on, it makes *a little* more sense; but as mentioned above, if you need a do-it-all shoe, ... MoreThis shoe is as bouncy and soft as the reviews would lead you to believe.

You put this shoe on and it immediately feels different. There's a plush softness with a lively bounce. It feels like it could propel you. When you start to run the feel like they're going to be a run ride. But then things start to fall apart. They aren't a fast show by any means and that would be fine. I thought I could use them for long slow runs or recover runs. But, I liken these shoes to running barefoot in sand. The zoom x foam is wild. There's no stability. As a result you begin activating muscles you might not usually use in order to stabilize yourself. By mile 4 my hips and glutes begin to ache. A few more miles my Achilles, then calves, ankles, quads. It feels like the shoes is fighting my gait and it's exhausting.I'm keeping the shoe. I figure I can use ... MoreYou put this shoe on and it immediately feels different. There's a plush softness with a lively bounce. It feels like it could propel you.

I figure I can use them for runs under an hour where I want to build up those stabilizing muscles. But they won't be getting very many miles in their lifetime.
While I'm aware that these are running shoes let me assure you that for walking these are like walking on clouds..Even walking at a slow pace you can feel the energy bounce you back up from the ZoomX..Picture walking on bags of marshmallows or god placing fluffy clouds under your feet while you walk barefoot, this is how I feel while walking in these shoes.Mind you I am 6'3 and 140kg so these shoes might not last as long as they would on somebody who is a little lighter than myself and stability could be an issue if you have weak ankles.I would recommend these to anybody that is looking for a walking shoe, it's breathable, comfortable and they also look great.They go well with 2xU socks as well
Very nice shoe. Not theFK you would expect. More of a structured FK but still comfortable. Midsole is ample but too much squish for my liking. Plenty of bounce and snap. Mid foot was a bit narrow for me. My feet were falling asleep with how tight the mid foot was. Overall, a great shoe. It just didn't work out for me.
This Nike ZoomX Invincible Run Flyknit Men's Running Shoe is super comfortable, has terrific cushioning and support for the arch!The size US-9.5 runs accurately to size.They look great. I wish they'd put another color than pink on inside sole.I highly recommend this shoe for runners and distance-walkers. Actually, it'd work for.any walker and runner!I walk just over a mile daily.It's amazing!
I am a big guy 6 ft 280 lbs, and I wanted a shoe that took a lot of pressure off my knees and hips when running for 30 minutes. And these are it! I had the New Balance 1080 v11's at first, they were great for the first couple of runs and then it felt as the cushion bottomed out. These are way bouncier and the cushion still feels the same a month later. Plus the heel cup fits better. They do feel a little snug at first but they loosened up after the run.
Over the past several years, I have been running in Asics Nimbus 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20. I then switched to Brooks Ghost 11, 12, 13 (waiting for delivery of Ghost 14's). I decided to try the Nike Invincible after reading MANY reviews. (I had tried Hoka Mach, but that shoe irritated the outside of my ankle.) The Invincible's "squishy" sole was touted by most reviewers. Others purchased the shoe as an "easy day" injury prevention shoe. I had concerns when reviewers mentioned they found the shoes to be "slippery".I am a 71 year old, 5 foot 10 inch,155 pound male. I was a nationally ranked Master's Duathlete who now runs 20-30 miles per week. I have degenerative hip labral issues. I have been running twice a week in the Invincibles on flat, asphalt surface, for 4 miles ... MoreOver the past several years, I have been running in Asics Nimbus 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.

I have been running twice a week in the Invincibles on flat, asphalt surface, for 4 miles each day. The Invincible is a good shoe to have in the rotation, and I have not found it to be "slippery". I do not find it to be "faster" than other trainers. The sole make up has neither hurt or enhanced the hip issues. I would not recommend the shoe for trails, uneven surfaces, lateral movements, or speed/racing. I do not regret purchasing the Invincible. I cannot address the shoe's durability at this time.
These are actually really comfortable. However they let you run with bad form plus there's just no stability, your foot can move around a little when it hits the pavement, I messed up my knee after using them exclusively for a long time. When I switched to a shoe that had a harder sole, it was like learning to run all over again, really weird. Maybe they are good for an occasional recovery run but I cannot recommend them as your primary shoes, just playing with fire if this is all you use.
