@dano2website Hardcore? Vibram Fivefingers are hardcore. These are just more mainstream. Nike shouldn't have made the heel have more cushioning than the forefoot. They are making it harder to land on your forefoot and easier to heel strike. so no, these aren't true barefoot shoes.
@Imranrulezz They aren't vibram hardcore. However, most high school teams are against bf running. This would be the most minimal the majority of people will go.
@SillySniiper14 You can but it is designed to do otherwise. I use socks but since it goes for the "barefoot" feel they wanted you to wear it barefoot too lol.
ok im ordering custom nike free run 2.0 off of nikeid but i cant decide what sole to get. can someone tell me which one os better the 2.0's or 3.0's??
@gaimafolife29 $90? I use to think that was money when I was like 14 years old $1000 goes like water now a days. That doesn't mean throw your money away, only thing is $90 in reality is nothing, especially if you have a job. Anytime i buy something, no matter the price, I make sure I have at least double the amount of money I am going to pay after purchasing. So if I were to buy these, I;m going out with $360, then there's no need to complain.
Would you happen to know how they compare in sizing to the Nike Free Run 2+? I am a 11.5 in the Free Run 2 so I was wondering if I would be the same in the Free 3.0 v3 or if I should go up half a size to 12?
@hrdcorepunk7769 Probably the same i have a free run 1 and a free 3.0 and am 11 in both. And their both made by the same company so it's likely their sized the same.
@Darkness1996Infinity Adizero i have no experience with but it is not a traditional style shoe so i'd doubt it would be very good. The zigtech is a fashion everyday shoe not a running shoe it gives the support of a 8oz shoe in 15oz(im guessing 15oz correct me) and the free run is great if your a neutral runner but if you need pronation control go with an asics shoe like the kayano but for neutral <40mpw running go with free-run.
I don't plan on buying another pair of Free's until they have zero differential (zero-drop) from heel to toe. The thicker heel makes it less barefoot. But I will say it is a great transitional shoe into a level midsole. And the 3.0's are still very nice (just stay away from 5.0 and 7.0 if you want "barefoot").
@jonnynite You can argue that however i believe that the little support in the 3.0 is necessary and that a zero drop shoe shouldn't be a primary shoe just a workout shoe. I used to believe in the same stuff you say but barefoot is a fad and it gets people hurt more often than it doesn't. Nike makes the 3.0 for a barefoot tool and the 5.0. the free-run and 7.0 would be okay for trainers but still their meant to be tools to improve form and strengthen muscles.
@cannibal566 Zigtech's wpn't have anything over free 3.0's terrain wise. Zigs do have more support but are also intended on being style/casual shoes. There fore they have unnecessary weight. If your going for off road get off road running sneakers and if you want more support get asics gel nimbus or kayano. However this shoe is good for smaller runs and improving form.
@joshuatree1001 Nike free comes in 3 types, the 7.0 being the least minimal the free run/5.0 which is more minimal and the most minimal is the 3.0. They are all different series, this is not the free run 3 instead it is the free 3.0 version 3. As for recommending, it would depend on how much mileage you run. If its nothing crazy like 20-30mpw than go for the 3.0 but ease into it but if your a high mileage guy than the extra cushioning in the free-run is needed to prevent injury. and thx :)
@joshuatree1001 I have the +2 and the old 3.0-the new 3.0's are heavier. I would recommend the +2, especially if you overpronate. they are a good mix of cushion and lightweight.
@dano2website I'm sorry, i am still confused. Are these the next generation as in Free Run, Free Run +2, Free Run 3.0 etc? Or are these just another model next to the 2's and they will have a 3 coming soon? Also, off topic, the reason these don't last as long is probably because they are made out of nothing you know? My Nike Airs i bought in 09' are still good and have plenty of juice left in them. Its because they are thicker, so a lighter run comes at a price...
@jjozzy007 For x-training like weight lifting and biking it won't really make a difference. I definitely recommend it for anything on your feet like jump rope or A-skips because it will give the benefits on minimalism but you don't need cushioning for those activities so its a win-win and highly recommended over a cushioned trainer. I only use these for up to 4-5 miles though so if you wanna run in them ever than don't go to far.
Would you use these for races or practice even though running for sevral miles without getting shin splits i do cross country so im debateing if these would help or not.
@CrackerBoy3STF I would use these for 2-5 mile recovery runs and speed-work if you don't use spikes for that to get the benefit of minimal running and use a more cushioned shoe for long runs. As for racing you can use these as flats but use spikes so that i have more grip on slippery courses/hills.
@crazypencil100 These are the most minimal in the nike "free" series. They also have a durable upper bu lack a long lasting sole. To me they are the best in the "free" series and i've tried most of the versions.
@bubbah Yes, it is lighter. The 3.0 is 7.1oz and the free run 2 is 9.3oz(size 9). The free 3.0 is more minimal with a much more flexible mid sole, a 4mm shorter heal, and a more minimal upper because of the spandex in the back.
the 2's ar so much nicer

Your heel isn't SUPPOSED to heel strike, so the heel material at the back shouldn't be a problem if you use them correctly.

A few things to keep in mind, the lunar glides have a high heel support, I actually get an inch or so taller whenever I where them.
If you're looking for a shoe with BALANCE, get the freeruns
if you're looking for a running shoe, lunar glides.

They need to make a Nike Free 0.0
I don't plan on buying another pair of Free's until they have zero differential (zero-drop) from heel to toe. The thicker heel makes it less barefoot.
