    I really enjoy running in this shoe. It has almost no support, but good cushioning, which is what I look for in a shoe. I am on my second pair, and the first one lasted me 1000 miles. While the sole wears down a bit more quickly than some other shoes, the level of support doesn't change since it is fairly minimalist to begin with. I had no injury problems at all with this shoe, and was doing all of my normal runs in it (flats/spikes for workouts and races).

    Used the same model for my last pair of running shoes. Those held up for an entire cross country season.

    The shoe fits like a sock, and there are no hot spots for me when I'm running, either sprints or long distance. I have even run some 800m varsity meets in it, and I PR'd with it. Much more comfortable than any other shoe ever made, or ever will be made. Newest iteration appears to be less comfortable by a hair, but mainly I think because I havent broken it in yet. I ran the end of Cross Country and all of Track off season and then track season and it is only worn on the bottom. Unlike most nike shoes, which kinda suck, especially Frees and Roshes, this shoe does not tear up on top and looks almost new after washing it in the washing machine. Also, the low profile 4mm drop is much better than most crappy nike shoes. I prefer as low as possible. Used to run in Vibrams, but my feet would stink and it frankly hurt my feet on concrete. These have the right amount of cushion without feeling like marshmallows, and the inside sole is curved to shape your foot.

    I bought the Flyknit Free 3.0 because I couldn't find the old version anywhere online. It's ok, but I liked the Free 3.0v5 better than I like the Free 3.0 Flyknit.

    Best shoes ever. Let's me run naturally without any pain. I've tried many other pairs and these are the best.

    Its started to fall apart quicker than any shoe i ever had. It also cuts and rubs into my foot more than any other shoe. I really like the ride and the way it interfaces my foot with the ground. I haven't had a single injury problem since i started wearing it (although i hadn't really before either). I LOVE that i don't have to wear a sock.

    It's pretty great--has all but solved my chronic running pain issues, including shin splints. The only problem is its very limited lifespan (as well as the tendency for gravel to stick in the bottom).

    Good shoe for light runners. I used to run in 5 fingers but could not do long runs without my legs getting beat up. I use it for mostly running on soft natural surfaces
