Nike Free Run+ 3 Shield Running Shoes

So flashback to a few years ago when Vibram 5 Fingers were exploding in popularity. I have knee and ankle issues, but need to run due to my job. I heard all these great things about barefoot style running and how people with similar issues to me were having less pain due to these shoes. Two of my toes were broken in the past and unfortunately I could not wear the Vibrams. It was suggested to me that I try the "new" Nike Free Runs as an alternative. Not only did they mitigate most of my pain, but I found myself wearing them as day to day shoes and absolutely loving them.So I just wore out my 5th pair of Free's and the only complaint I've really had these past few years is how even dew on the grass would soak through the toes. When I saw this version I thought they would be perfect.I've only had these shoes for a little over a week and can say that while they are more comfortable than other running shoes, they do not feel as great as my previous Free's.They are slightly heavier/less flexible. The coloring and reflective bits were slightly worn straight out of the box and have been shedding over the last few days. And finally they are slightly smaller than the previous Free's. I wear an 11 and while I feel an 11.5 would be too big in these, the 11's are borderline too small. 11's in the previous Frees fit perfect.The water resistance is excellent, and I'm relearning how to run with these since the tread is slightly stiffer. I would not buy these again, and will be moving back to the standard Free's the next go around.

Love these light sneakers! They fit under the bones in my ankles. Something that prevents me from buying so many sneaker brands and styles... The only complaint is that right at the end on top of the toe the green is starting to show through the black part. I haven't done anything, like carrying weights or move furniture with my toes..lol so I don't know why it's wearing out there.. But other than that, they fit great.UPDATE:This is a one month later. I also have about 5 or 6 other pairs of sneakers, FYI, so I don't wear these that much, even though, when I do, it could be for a week at a time. I FINALLY noticed something weird about these sneakers. I'm a busy person, and I don't really go into detail about products usually, nor do I look at my feet that much..lolBUT: The laces go from the toe to the ankle diagonally, For example, on your right foot, if you look down, they start on the left side of your foot (by the toe) and go toward the outside of your leg (by ankle)... I'm not sure if this is an intentional "design" or if these were seconds, but I find it kind of strange, and not the most aesthetically pleasing, it looks like your feet are wider than they are. But other than that, they still are comfortable, very comfortable. I just hope people aren't looking at me feet wondering what that's all about. And I wanted to let people know about it.

I have a few pairs of Nike shoes. I own the NIKE FREE RUN in yellow. These are + Shield which I guess is water resistant. I love the Free Runs. I almost think that these are a knock off of the originals? They are made in China. The other pair is made in Vietnam.All of my Nike shoes say NIKE on the Tongue of the shoe. This pair does not say NIKE on the Tongue and the fit is not the same. They basically look the same and they are also very light in weight. I am not positive. Everything else seems identical. The fit is significantly different. The Bottom line is if I bought this pair before I would not buy a second pair. Besides the color of my first pair, why do they fit different? Why don't they say NIKE on them? OK these are Free Run 3's I guess the pair I own are Free Run #1 the serial # or item is 510642-706(my first pair) The blue pair is number 536840-404 and I do not like them as much.

Very comfortable and light , but after a few days of use paint falling off the rubber usually also lose their shape easily.

OK

I really enjoy my new sneakers, they are light weight and dry out very quickly and they seem to not hold bad foot odour.

These shoes are great! They look and fit just as expected. Very light and flexible. I would highly recommend them.

These fit true to size. They are exceptionally comfortable and light. Great for running without extra bulk or weight. The water resistance is an added bonus.

Because I live in GB, the weather sometimes gets really nasty - heavy rains, strong winds etc. So when its raining I always used to have wet socks, shoes, but things have changed once I bought these running shoes which are water repellent. Most of the water runs off the shoe, plus shoes are really great quality and very comfortable. I've done about 100 miles with them on hard concrete and still cant see any wear and tear on them. Also another thing to note is that they reflect in the light, so it is easier for drivers to notice you, while you do those runs in winter mornings, when its dark outside.In overall I am very pleased with these shoes. I will definitely buy another pair, when I will finish my old ones.

Easily the comfiest pair of running shoes I've owned! Light and airy and such a free running feel to them.The subtle reflective coating making you more visible in the dull light.I love the feel of these so much I'm taking them backpacking as my travelling shoe!

This shoes are awesome! Super comfortable, fit very well on the foot and they are light as a feather.And are nike+ i bought them because of that.

Im Fitness der Hingucker, zum Joggen mega bequem, und auch auf der Arbeit super.Arbeite in einer Discothek und trage seit ca. einem Jahr Nike free's und habe nun keine Probleme mehr mit den langen Nächten und schmerzenden Füssen. Habe drei Paar von den Free's. Diese blauen sind super, auch wenn es regnet, da sie wasserundurchlässig sind!Note 1A - Nike macht sich wirklich Gedanken von Material und Technologie.

Bester Schuh den ich gekauft habe:) würde wieder kaufen wenn es ihn geben würde!! was würde er jettt kosten würde ich gern wissen!
