Nike Men's Free 5.0 Running Shoe Reviews
I have been a convert to neutral or minalal rise shoes for awhile and tried to take up the "barefoot" style of minimalist shoes , but I was still a somewhat heavy heel striker.
I bought a pair of these shoes on a whim based upon favorable reviews from my local shop and they were not wrong!
i am an avid runner who took a long hiatus from running and just got back into it last year .. .I log on average 20+ miles a week and this varies from a quick 5k at lunch to some 10+ mile runs on the weekend..
I wore these shoes in 2 half marathons this year and loved them.. no pain and no numbness.
The neutral position of the shoes allows for your feet and legs to move naturally and knee pain is minimized. the foam type of sole is very soft but the way it is made with the cutting of the sole segments allows a barefoot like feel.. durability is excellent and I have over 500 miles on 1 pair (documented via my running software that I can log which pair of shoes I use on the run) and another is at 350 miles. .. I have used both on gravel roads and regular pavement with no problems, even though the unique sole tends to capture small pebbles and you will need to dig out (really easy) after a run on the gravel...
These shoes can be woren barefoot or with thin socks ... they are very well made and weigh next to nothing... excellent shoe for fast short distance runs of that half marathon. they do run about half a size small... toe box is ample and they way the upper is made it is like you are wearing a sock...
ordering my 3rd pair! (previously wore new balance 890's and still have a few for really bad weather runs, but the nikes are my go to now).
