hey im looking for shoes that'll last a long time and also to wear everyday(play b-ball with friends, soccer, football etc) and i was wondering if these would last long???
dude, They may look cool but do they give you the right support that your foot needs, There are 3 types of feet and 3 types of shoes, to find out which one you are download this application of iTunes called, 'WET TEST'

@greensoilder - It is quite durable but to be fair, I only had them for around 5 and a half months before selling them on. The colour did start to go, which has been mentioned, but it was still in excellent condition before I sold them.
this shoe is junk, heeled and not good for your back sine hips etc. waste of money and had for your health, stick to no shoes or flat shoes with no heel, this guy has no clue what he is talking about, just a marketing scam
Listen I have a special eddition glow in the dark shoes they r the exact same... They grow with your feet and last a lot longer than this dude says but he is right about basketball and sports.. But a huge advantage is that you can jump at least 1inch higher than you can with any other shoes.. They have lasted me 2 1/2 years and they r very comfy and easy to slide on and off I suggest getting them!
Since this was posted a while back, how well did they last? Have you had any experience with the 3.0? I'm interested in them just as a way to strengthen my stability muscles when I walk around school and what not. I probably wouldn't train in them.
Thanks! If you could respond on my wall, that would be fantastic! Thanks!!!
@THSdrummer - Well, after 6 months or so, the colour on the toe area, which is black, turned white. The heel cushion also started to come off bit. I sold it on eBay a few days after that.
are these good for flat footed people? i read somehwere that these shoes will build up your foot strength (arch) and help correct your gate by emphasizing barefoot running. Would you recommend these for flat footed people?
@TheUtvolunteer haha I've worn some bright orange nike shoes and got a nice smile and hey from this girl I ran past one time. I didn't like the shoes though so I got a refund. My saucony's are doing the job just fine.
i want to get this shoe but im running 100m sprints. do you think its a good shoe for that type of training? or will that type of running wear it uot fast??
Difficult to say, but imo, these are best for cross country and long distance rather than 100m. I dont know if they'll be able to sustain the force of 100m. Im no expert but that would be my guess.
at the store i heard the complete oposite... this shoe is for sprints and isn't durable enough for longer distances. hence you see more sturdy shoes for longer distances. (just visit a shoes store and ask about it)
@yayipiri01 haha, YES definitely, I'd say you'd need those shoes with the intense cushioning for longer distances, but if you're able to train barefoot for short distances, go for it!
just fyi, they dont put the "nike running sensor" in the sole because the sole has so many different sections, separated by very deep grooves, to make it as flexible as possible that there isn't enough room to put a slot in for the "sensor" without compromising flexibility.
how is not being able to have the chip in a massive disappointment? given the low amounts of cushioning you would feel the chip and it would start to hurt your heel like a mother. I personally think its for the better not to be able to use the chip in this shoe. Besides, you can always get a shoelace strap for the chip if it bothers you that much.
Fair comment, I see your point. Most of the new shoes have this incorporated in so, I guess I was getting at the fact that I would've been better if it did have it.
No, I agree...mabye they could have incorporated it somewhere else on the shoe instead of directly underneath the feet. However, I do believe the the Nike Free everydays (or something like that) do have a spot for the chip.
Hey mate - don't worry about the insert thing. Just ditch that training watch and buy a Grumman GPS training watch. No need for insert, distance is measured using GPS satellites, etc. The Grumman training device is so worth the money, just like the Niki Free. I have had my Free 5.0 for 8 months and despite lots of races and training - they are still going strong. I even brought a second pare, just in-case Nike cancel the line. They are so cosy to ware dude!.
You can mate. I ave run regular 10 mile training runs and half marathons. They are if anything better for distance because of how light and comfortable they are.
Just buy a pair. I so recommend them. I ran the great south run in mine and i have also run the Finstock 10k (a trail run, up hill and down dale) in them. The Nike frees handled the course no problem. They are the dogs...!
i wouldnt count the ipod sensor as a bad point. You dont need it to run

If you want to do sprints get sprint flats which are even lighter than these. Nike Free are made for everyday running not sprinting.

the "nike free everyday+ 2" has the nike plus insert and its made for serious everyday training which means its more durable and will last you longer.
even thought its more durable, comfort is NOT sacrificed!

It could quite easily last longer than 12 months, but I would surprised if they did - especially if you tend to use them everyday.
I might another do another video after 12 months to show what condition they are in.
They are very comfortable so you should be able to run far distances with these.
