What Reviewers Say

Exceptionally lightweight and comfortable, these shoes deliver a natural, barefoot-like feel with flexible soles that move with your feet. Fit runs snug and narrow—sizing up a half to full size is recommended, especially for wider feet. Praised for versatility across running, gym workouts, and all-day wear, though durability concerns emerge with the thin heel fabric tearing and soles wearing down faster than expected for some users.

Awesome
These are awesome. So light. So flexible. Yet supportive and cushioned. Love the road feel you get. Not for everyone. Wish Nike would keep making these soles, but getting harder and harder to find.

Fragile Heel strap
Had to settle for this since the 2018’s are discontinued. Heel pull strap is not a continuous loop but simply stitched into the fabric. It broke on mine as well as a pair purchased for my wife just after a couple of wears. The prior version was so much more supportive, this shoe feels like nothing more than a loose sock.

So light weight they feel like you are walking barefoot!
These shoes have a unique design where the heel portion of the shoe extends further back. It sure pads your heels when you walk or run. The only issue I have seen with this type of design is the fabric tying the rear pad with the upper shoe. The pull tab when putting on the shoes shows signs that it will tear easily. Overall the look and feel are a great feature for any type of style. I like the way they look when you dress them up with shorts. I highly recommend them.

Disappointed For The First Time
I bought these for my Son's Bday. Both of us workout and walk on the treadmill and he walks the dog about 2 miles daily. I am a Nike Lover since the 70's and he has always worn and loved Nikes as well. For the first time ever, the shoes purchased did not last. While he liked the style and comfort- they wore out in just over 2 months. There are holes in the bottom of each shoe. There has been no…

Easy on and off.
I was in search for a lightweight running/casual shoe. The design sure hit the mark. However, due to it's light-weight design I would not train in the shoe. You feel everything "under" foot. But... Very enjoyable for casual wear, easy on and off design!!

Love at first wearing!
I bought these shoes because I liked the color scheme. When I first put them on, I immediately noticed a comfort level that felt like my feet were in a pillow sleeve. These shoes probide supportive cushioning, a glove-like fit, breathability, and natural flex (moving with your foot). Together, these ensure my stride is effortless, pain-free, and stable for all-day wear. I was love at first wearing!
