NIKE Men's Flex Experience RN 7 Running Shoe

التعليق

I have been a runner since I was 14, and as any runner - whether you get in a 15 light jog a couple of times a week at 5mph or you train seriously and/or competitively, there is nothing more acutely important to your overall health than the right shoes FOR YOU. Ive struggled with leg/foot (muscles, joints, bones, fascia, everything) and back, and even neck/cervical-related injuries for 15 years... which has led to my love/hate relationship with running. When I didnt know any better, I just figured Nike is the big brand it must be the best... but this was back when they had that AWFUL shocks line with the four little pumps in the back... just horrendous. My problems got better when I went to New Balance, and stuck with them for a long time... and now their quality went down. I was never willing to drop $100+ on shoes... (although it was probably warranted, based on how much i spent on braces, medications, doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths, etc.) and I gave Nike another chance after a colleague suggested I try them again. I have never been so relieved. Both the Flex and Free running lines are perfect ... FOR ME. I will try to place some qualifications, because reading some of the more negative reviews really annoyed me: FOR RUNNERS - you know, what the shoe was built for: No shoe will work if you have poor form. I learned this the hard way, but if you master running technique, all that nonsense about how bad it is for your knees will seem like rubbish. Ideal form involves only the distal metatarsal area - the "balls" of your feet. If you are landing on your heels (what those old awful nike shocks seemed to imply was necessary) .. you are in for a lot of pain and suffering. Dont blame any shoe and work on that first. once you do... this lightweight design and greater focus on ergonomic ideal running form works fantastically. FOR NON-RUNNERS, who are looking at this for long days at work or anything else that requires being on your feet for long periods of the day... THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. You need heel support in that case, and ideal shoes for walking/standing exist and are totally different from what this shoe was built for. Its literally like buying a pair of jeans and giving a negative review because they didnt go well with the rest of your ballroom tuxedo.

Got these yesterday and the fit is good (Nikes generally run about a 1/4 to a 1/2 size small). I plan to use these as a casual shoe and not a runner. If you want to run on these, Id recommend keeping them as an indoor (treadmill) shoe...the sole is close to 80-90% "foam" which could be eaten up quickly by pavement (the other 10-20% is rubber, placed at the impact and push off points).

Uncomfortable. Hurt the ball of my feet and kills my legs. My work boots are more comfortable than these. On hard surfaces they make like a suction and squeezing noises. Im on my feet all day and I wouldnt recommend these at all. Look good but not at all worth it.

Color and description was right on. Great shoe and value. Best of all, no issues with the shoe, shipping or purchase. I always like that.

I have hard time finding wide width sneakers. These came in extra wide width and I thought they would be perfect. I have no issue with the width or the look of the sneakers. They look great and the width is great. The issue is these sneakers have zero support or arch. The back of your foot is up on a bump. The sole is plastic and is extremely uncomfortable to walk in. As others have said, because of the hard plastic sole, these sneakers are LOUD when you walk on any hard surface. So in addition to feeling like you are walking on uneven concrete, they are loud everywhere you go. I just received them and I think I am gong to take the time to return them. To bad, I like the color, style (although they are not durable at all) and width.
