I absolutely love these Nike interact women’s running shoes. They fit perfectly, they are so comfortable and lightweight. They are super breathable and they are really pretty too! I’m on my feet all day so these have been great not just for running and exercising but for being on my feet for work all day. Highly recommend. The only think I am not a huge fan of is the giant QR code on the tongue.

Very cute shoes! Well made, very cushiony, very stylish. Runs small. Probably more for short runs and walking. Doesn’t have the support for longer runs, but comfortable for walking, shorter runs, and casual wear.

These Interact Run shoes have some great design elements, but have some room for improvement. I’ll go through both. The Look: These are super cute shoes! The peach and white color is gorgeous. I was worried about the mesh upper being more for aesthetic than function, but it turns out I really liked that; the mesh is breathable. I’m still a little blown away by the obvious genius of putting a QR code on the tongue, and I absolutely love that it links to an article about the shoe and Nike’s sustainability efforts. Yes to big companies focusing on recycling! The Feel: At first wear (for 3 miles on paved roads and sidewalks), I was unsure about the feel. Rather than supporting or cushioning my foot, it felt like it was just on my foot, with a flat bottom. After a mile or two that sensation eased up and I thought maybe they just needed to be broken in. I later wore them for a 4 mile treadmill interval workout and that was a bad idea. They never felt broken in, and the flat, unyielding insole bruised the bottom of my big toe. It hurt for several days after! The Fit: I ordered my usual size and the sides of my big toes and pinky toes touch the edges. Luckily, maybe because the top is mesh, my toes touching the edges doesn’t bother me while running. I haven’t tested them for downhill running, but if you were considering them for a downhill race I’d definitely size up. Conclusion: These shoes are about as pretty as a running shoe can get. I like the creativity Nike is showing by incorporating technology with the QR code and sustainability by including recycled materials. They run a smidge small, but the soft mesh upper is forgiving. The real negative to these shoes is the unsupportive, unresponsive insole and sole. They might feel okay for the occasional easy run or a trip to the mall, but I won’t be wearing them speed or distance workouts.
