I¡¯ve done two runs of over 10 miles in Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse UK Trainers the Peg 31¡¯s, and they worked very well for the long stuff if you like a cushy ride. It¡¯s still a bit more shoe than I¡¯d choose to race a marathon in, but for easy runs they feel great. The closest comparison I can come up with is the New Balance Fresh Foam 980 (review coming soon!). And between those two I¡¯d take the Peg 31 due to a better fit up front (the Fresh Foam has a very pointy toebox).

1. Sole dimensions. Per Running Warehouse, the Free 5.0 has a stack height of 23mm heel, 14mm forefoot for a drop of 9mm. The 3.0 has a stack height of 21mm heel, 17mm forefoot for a drop of 4mm. So the 5.0 has a bit more cushion under the heel, and a bit less under the forefoot. To be honest, the feel is not hugely different to me.

After leaving the store, I started thinking about that man¡¯s shoes more and my mind wandered back int Nike Free UK Trainers sale o the days of middle school. As a burgeoning adolescent, the perception of being thought of as ¡°cool¡± by my peers was constantly on my mind. We all wish to be liked and we all wish to be validated by our outward appearance. I can¡¯t remember the shoes I wore at this time, but I do remember that the popular guys in my classes wore Air Jordan shoes, along with other emerging basketball stars at the time (e.g. Anfernee ¡°Penny¡± Hardaway).

I¡¯ll let Greg tell his story in his own words, but I¡¯ll add that if you want to read more about his running adventures, you can check out his blog, Predawn Runner.

Nike Free 5.0 2015 sole heelThe Nike Free 5.0 2015 is lightweight, flexible, and incredibly comfortable. If your sole reason for wanting them is for casual use, go out and get a pair right now, they are that good. For running, they aren¡¯t fast and they aren¡¯t super cushioned so not the best choice for an all-around trainer. But for short to moderate length runs where you want a very flexible, minimally controlling ride with some cushion they are a solid option. And if, like me, you couldn¡¯t wear the 2014 version due to that tight band over the forefoot, rest assured that the problem has now been fixed. Nike has fixed the issue I had with this shoe in the newest version ¨C view my review of the 2015 Nike Free 5.0 here.

Nike Free 5.0 201 5 interiorOne of the things I¡¯ve always loved about the Free shoes is that they lack a heel counter. In case you¡¯re not familiar with the terminology, a heel counter is a firm, plastic insert located in the back of many shoes to give the heel region structure. In the Free 5.0 there is no counter at all, and this adds to the slipper-like experience. The lack of a heel counter is also one of the reasons why I often recommend the Free to people with insertional Achilles tendon issues tha Nike Free Run UK Trainers t may be aggravated by a plastic counter in the heel.
