Love the shoes. Super cute, like the snug fit for crosstraining. Sizes up half a size from my other Nikes. However, is no one talking about how cheap the tongues look with the exposed foam and how the foam turns orange/yellow? I had bought a pair and loved them but once the foam turned the entire shoe had an orange/yellow tent and look grungy. Wish better materials were used. Have never had an issue like this with Nike and my family wears a lot of Nike. If not for the foam I would give 5 stars. Have my eyes on another pair but, will not buy because of the foam and know it will be a short time before they too look gross.

Loud popping noise when walking
ChristinaD153852427 - Sep 12, 2025
I have 3 of these and all of them end up making a loud audible snapping/popping sound on both feet when I walk. It’s as if something in the base is broken. I was recently walking with a group and all of them could hear it and were asking what was wrong. Otherwise, a comfortable shoe.
Beautiful shoe; wrong size (they run small)

I love the shoes, but I didn't know they ran small. So I shouldve ordered a half a size larger than what I did. Im disappointed. I think the shoe is great and its a pretty shoe, they are just too tight for me.
