Nike Men's Free Run 5.0 Next Nature Running Shoes

I've been running in different designs of Nike Free since 2014. I credit the "barefoot" design for eliminating shin splints and plantar fasciitis problems caused by structured shoes. I can usually get a good year or two out of them before they wear out. The sole design is very stable on unpaved surfaces but prone to collecting small rocks which can be annoying. I'll keeping buying the Free.

For years, I was addicted to the Phantom fly knit running shoe, but it was discontinued. I have purchased about six different Nike shoes and brands since then and finally decided to try this one. Unfortunately, the women’s doesn’t exist anymore, so I thought I would try the men’s in a smaller size and it was perfect. I love this shoe and I just ordered another pair before it’s discontinued. It’s not bouncy like all the new technology and your foot actually feels the pavement. It’s great for me because I have balance problems, flat feet and a little bit of a drop foot. I need the stability of connecting to the pavement… I can’t tell you how much I love this shoe. Please do not discontinue it and bring back the women’s. !!!

It’s a decent shoe but it is not durable at all. Don’t recommend buying

I have been buying nike running shoes for the past 20 years. For most of my adult life I have been relying on Nike Pagasus Zoom shoes for everything from running, gym workouts and everyday activity. About 3 years ago I started mixing in Nike Free Run. Some of my favorite shoes are the Nike Free Run 2018. I purchased 2 pairs of Nike Free Run 5.0 and I like a lot about the shoes. I prefer the design that has changed from the tongue of the 2018. However, the rubber in the heel of the Free Run 5.0 is a problem for me. It curves up a bit and uncomfortably digs into my heel if I rest on my heel. For example, it is really uncomfortable and produces a mild pain when driving a car where your driving foot is often resting on the heel. I drive daily including to the gym and sometimes to runs. I really don't want to have to change my shoes from the Free Run 5.0 just for the drive. Nike, please go back to the heel design of the free run 2018 shoes. When it happens, please send me a coupon code because these Free Run 5.0 are killing me.

Probably the lightest shoe I've ever had on other than Meryl slippers. LoL very light training shoe. Just be aware if you want more rigidity and support this isn't the issue for you. It is very light almost like a barefoot shoe.

They remind me of the first ever pair I owned when I deployed to Iraq in 2002 very lightweight easy to pack and very comfortable as I remember,love them will be ordering another color.

Nice looking and very comfortable really like them!

I'm really enjoying them so far, they are very light. I like the color scheme on this pair as well. I have no show socks, but I think I want to get quarter length socks (wiil look better I think). What is your recommendation?
