Function: Here¡¯s where things get a bit tricky. Whether or not you like the Nike Free Run+ out on the road is going to depend largely on what you want out of the shoe and what you plan to use it for. As I mentioned at the outset, the Free Run+ is thickly cushioned (though a tad firmer than the Saucony Kinvara) and has a moderate heel lift (about 7mm). Thus, ground feel is not great, and the heel will not be one that helps get you immediately onto your midfoot/forefoot. On the plus side, they are extremely flexible (due to the extensive siping/grooves on the sole ¨C see picture below) and very light, so if you are coming from a heavier, more traditional shoe with a 12mm heel lift, you will definitely notice a difference going into the Free Run+. It is for this reason that I view the shoe as a good choice for someone looking to transition slowly into more minimalist shoes (some minimalist runners oppose this transitional approach, but it worked just fine for me).

So where did I go wrong today? Well, by simulating barefoot running, the Free¡¯s work your feet and legs in ways that more traditional running shoes do not. Thus, it¡¯s recommended that you ease your way into using them so that you don¡¯t overwork muscles that have been long dormant when wrapped up in bulky trainers. The fact that I ran a fast 7-miler in them 2 days ago suggested that I might not have this problem, so I decided to take them out on my 20-mile run this afternoon (big mistake!). The first ten or so miles were fantastic ¨C nike roshe run dames outlet nederland I felt great, and they really do make you think about your stride and form. While they are well-cushioned and a long ways from true ¡°barefoot running¡± (you need something like the Vibram Fivefingers for that), they definitely feel a lot different than any other shoe I¡¯ve run in. After about mile 10, I started to notice some soreness beginning to creep into my legs in unusual places, and I began to form a blister on my right big toe (I think this was a sock issue and not shoe issue though). By mile 12, my legs were quite fatigued, and I began to question whether I would make it for the full 20. I decided to persevere, and didn¡¯t worry about pacing or walk breaks from that point on (and there were many walk breaks).

Nike Wildhorse v2 (left) and v3 (right)The ride of the Wildhorse 3 is comfortable, but the shoe isn¡¯t quite as nimble as v2. I can feel the added weight and structure, but that combo also makes me feel a bit more protected on the trail. It¡¯s a typical tradeoff that you deal with in trail shoes ¨C lighter and nimbler vs. sturdier and more protective. As with the previous version, the Wildhorse 3 is capable of handling roads as well, though with a full coverage, lugged outsole it¡¯s definitely more at home on softer ground.

This review is long overdue, but it¡¯s one that I have long felt compelled to write. When Nike first announced the release of the newest member of it¡¯s Free line of more minimalist running shoes, the Nike Free Run+, I was highly critical of their marketing approach. Some took this as me attacking a shoe that I had never worn, but that was not my intent. Rather, I was critical of the fact that Nike was marketing the Free Run+ as a shoe that simulates barefoot running, which I didn¡¯t believe (and still don¡¯t) was possible. In fairness, I felt that I should at least give the shoe a try so that I could write an informed review (one better than the piece put together by Wired Magazine that initially didn¡¯t even have the correct shoe pictured). This post is my attempt at providing a fair review of Nike Free Run+.

As for sizing, the shoe runs true to size for me, and the fit is nearly perfect. The forefoot is plenty roomy for my medium width foot, and the heel through arch fit is nice and snug. There is a bit of arch support, which will likely turn off those more interested in truly minimalist shoes, though it is slightly less pronounced if you remove the insoles.

My experience tells me that when you feel something distinctly off in a shoe nike air max 90 nederland , it¡¯s probably not a good match. If I ran in them I wouldn¡¯t be able to return them, so I¡¯ve decided they are going back to the store unused (I¡¯ll grab a pair of the Free Flyknit 4.0¡¯s when they come out instead). I had such a bad experience with the same sensation in the old NB MT10¡¯s that it¡¯s just not worth the risk (it¡¯s strange, I almost have a phantom sensation in that area as I sit here wearing a totally different shoe ¨C kind of like nike air max 90 dames a food aversion that develops after a case of salmonella poisoning).
