Nike Free 5.0 V4 Women

Florida

I purchased my first pair of Nike Free 5.0 V4’s about 6 months ago. They are so comfortable, I found that I was wearing them every day. So I decided to get a second pair. I chose my normal shoe size for the first pair, and they fit perfectly barefoot, and a bit snug (but comfortable) with socks. I decided to order up a half size for the second pair. They fit well, too. Overall, I’d say that they are true to size.

I suffered from plantar fascitis for over 2 years. These shoes, along with stretching and some body work, have helped immensely. I’d say I’m 95% better. It’s nice to be able to run again! I’m NOT a big fan of the Nike brand and what it stands for, but I can’t deny that this is the best walking and running shoe for me.

Love these shoes! I’m 47 and today for the first time I can remember in my whole life I put on a pair of shoes new out of the box and they fit my feet perfectly! I have researched a lot about the natural stride we use for barefoot walking and tried to practice it, but modern shoes make it impossible. I go barefoot at home, but the rest of the day I have to walk in the heel-toe stride that causes so many foot problems. These shoes allow me to walk the way my feet were meant to, “forefoot strike,” it’s called. I love my Nike Free 5.0’s!

I recently bought the Nike Free 5.0 V4 shoes after reading more about the benefits of barefoot / minimalist running. They are extremely flexible, especially through the forefoot and seem to naturally promote running more on the balls of my feet instead of striking with my heel. I’m using them for all of my running (approx 20 miles / week, half-marathon races) and find them equally comfortable for long runs and speed work.
