When I first took these out of the box, I worried they might not fit my wide feet but I was so glad to be wrong! Even though they feel a bit snug as you first slip your foot in, the material stretches and adjusts beautifully to your foot’s width. They’re true to size and fit like a glove. I also love the little pull tab on the back, which makes slipping them on even easier and more comfortable. I found the design to be a perfect match for me, the white and pink combo is so chic and girly, exactly my style. Yes, white shoes can get dirty quickly, but I don’t mind because they look so good. I also thought it was clever to include a QR code on the tongue that links to Nike’s page with care and cleaning tips. The fabric is lightweight with a breathable mesh that feels great most of the time, though I do notice my feet get a bit warm occasionally (could just be me!). The cushioning in the sole is amazing and it honestly feels like running on clouds. The thickest part of the sole is about 1.5 inches, giving great support without feeling heavy (they are SO lightweight). What I like most is the comfort and support, especially when I’m running. I also wore them when walking on my in-office walking pad, but they’re definitely meant for running. The only tweak I’d make is improving the breathability a bit more. Other than that, they’re close to perfect!

Finally, a stellar road running shoe that is good for the planet without sacrificing performance! Nike is moving in the right direction with efforts to reduce waste and their carbon footprint. The Nike Interact Road Shoe is made with at least 20% recycled content (reusing existing plastics, yarns and textiles.) The QR code attached to the tongue of the shoe was easy to use and took me directly to Nike’s sustainability information page. There were several pages of information pertaining to Nike’s efforts to move to zero waste and carbon to help protect the future of sport. The back of the shoe also has a cute little flower-looking icon. After further research on their sustainability page, I learned that this symbol is actually Nike’s “Sunburst” symbol. It was created in the 1970s as a circular option where asymmetry of the Swoosh logo didn’t work. It now serves as a defining feature for all products designed with sustainability in mind. My first impression of the shoes was, “wow, these are lightweight!” However, the mid foam and cushion throughout are still very supportive while maintaining a light and airy feel. These lightweight shoes definitely made me feel fast and were perfect for running on asphalt in the heat. It is a tapered fit, meaning the toe box is a bit roomy and the mid section is more narrow. This allowed my feet to be supported through my arches but still maintain ample room for my toes to not be scrunched. The only thing I would change about the shoe is purely aesthetics. I put my running shoes through the wringer on dusty dirt roads and white just doesn’t stand a chance. After only a few uses, my shoes definitely look “worn,” but again, this doesn’t affect performance at all. Also, I know once I’ve worn through these shoes, Nike can help me recycle or donate them. Select Nike stores are piloting the Recycling + Donation program. The new initiative allows consumers to drop off Nike footwear and they take care of donating to a nonprofit or recycling so these shoes can live on! Overall, these shoes are an easy 5 stars from me and I’m very thankful Nike is taking big leaps in the right direction to support sustainability efforts.

I got these shoes right before doing a 5 mile run/walk and they did not disappoint! These sneakers are super comfortable. They have great ankle and heel support making my feet feel cradled and supported during my run. The back is high enough for support but low enough that it doesn’t irritate the back of my ankle. I usually have arch pain a couple miles in to my run but not with these. My husband is my running partner and he even commented how I didn’t start complaining about my feet. The heel area has shock absorption making every landing soft and bouncy. And I run hard on my heels! I love the airy mesh-like fabric that is so breathable my feet didn’t sweat or overheat in 90 degree weather. The bottoms is made with a texture that grips the ground which allows you the traction to propel yourself further when running. I don’t run competitively so I don’t time my runs but I am certain that that feature would give someone an advantage to help them run faster. I wore these sneakers the whole day. I got so many compliments on the trendy design and I already have a sister and friend who want to get a pair!
