I have been slowly increasing my mileage and needing a shoe that supports my high arches. Most shoes that are good for high arches are not the most flattering. (I understand look is not what I should be going for in a shoe… but what can I say?!? I want to like the look!) These shoes are not only cute, but they have tolerated my running well! I generally stick to paved roads and hard dirt paths and these have been awesome. At first, I was worried about a white shoe but they wear well. Also, I have worn them a few times to drop the kids off at school or for a quick coffee run. They look great when I’m running, and are just as practical for running errands!

Just got these and they're already super comfortable, been walking around the house in them lol. They will look cute with everyday outfits and I'm excited as a college student to be walking around campus in them.

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.
