nike roshe run mesh and suede

In terms of the ride, I find the Free 5.0 to nike roshe run black be semi-firm with not a lot of rebound. It¡¯s a smooth shoe due to the extreme flexibility of the sole, but it is not the most responsive shoe on the market. It¡¯s not a shoe you would choose for your next 5K, and probably not the best choice for a marathon unless you have done extensive training in them. I prefer them for runs from about 3-10 miles. My max in the 5.0 2015 is a bit over eight miles in one run, and short of a few hot spots on the inside of my heels (not sure what caused this) they worked just fine.

You can see that after 40 miles I¡¯ve ground down the protruding portions of the white pods directly above and to the right the 4.0 in the image below:Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit side sole I¡¯m wondering Nike Air Max Classic BW 91 Mens if the slightly rounded heel, curved sole, and flexibility of the shoe have something to do with this more anterior wear pattern?

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.

So time will tell. It is difficult to run ¡°controlled experiments¡± in running as there are too many variables we can¡¯t control (fatigue and weather, most notably). If the soreness continues, I will go back and try the Brooks Ghost 3¡¯s (which I may do anyway). But now I know (a) I need wide shoes, and (b) I don¡¯t need much stability and it is in fact counter-productive, so I will be making wiser shoe choices from this point forward. And I still foresee a performance trainer in my future, at least for shorter races.

So what would I use the Free 5.0 for? For me it¡¯s a comfortable, easy run shoe. I tend to run more minimal so the cushioning would be fine for me for up to a marathon, but I would likely not use it for much over half marathon distance since the medial forefoot instabilit y can sometimes cause hot-spot problems. The last thing I need is a giant blister developed over long distance!

The sole of the Nike Free 3.0 v5 is unchanged from v4. It has the typical grooves/siping found in all Nike Free shoes, which allow for excellent flexibility. Rubber outsole pods are only placed under the lateral heel and the big toe, though wear of the exposed midsole does not appear excessive ¨C I have about 45 miles of running on mine, and wear them casually frequently (often all day). The soles ar nike roshe run mesh and suede e a bit discolored, but are holding up well so far:
