Nike Free Run 5.0 Shoes Review | Nike Young Athlete’s Innovation Summit





As I believed i was prevent attend the conference because of prior commitments, my husband Jason graciously took my place so that Joshua could attend. I recently started to converse with him about the Nike Free Run 5.0 shoes he received with the summit… but after a few minutes we both decided it would be best for him to write about them himself.

So here are OurKidsMom’s husband’s thoughts in regards to the Nike Free Run 5.0 shoe…



Within Young Athlete’s Summit, Josh and I were fortunate to each receive a pair of Nike Free Run 5.0 shoes. I’ve been dabbling all of the idea of minimalist footwear but hadn’t yet taken the plunge and so I definitely was excited about trying them out. Putting the shoes on, I immediately was struck by how comfortable they were. The Dynamic Fit design makes the material in the upper very stretchy causing the shoes to fit like a sock. It literally felt as though I were in stocking feet. I wore them around the hotel for awhile and really enjoyed how they felt. Exhausted from all the excitement when using the flight, Josh ended up falling asleep after lunch. That gave me the perfect opportunity to hit the streets of Portland and give my new a whirl.



Backing up a bit, I’ve been struggling for some time trying to learn how to land on my mid-foot. It sounds deal with it would be easy but I’ve found it to be difficult because the heels of my running shoes (and most regular running shoes) are built up higher compared to a rest from the foot. Therefore, the moment one extends their foot forward, the heel tends to strike the soil first. This causes shock waves to travel up the leg and affect the knees. Over time, people become prone to knee injury, and end up quitting running. Knowing about this propensity, I’ve been trying to change my form so I can continue running as long as possible.



Heading out throughout the shoes, Considerable enhancement amazed to find that the machines naturally made my feet land right. The heel to toe drop is much lower than my normal running shoes and so that troublesome heel doesn’t get in the way if I’m trying to land mid-foot. I didn’t have to consciously adjust my step because the shoes allowed me to do it right As I progressed through my run, I noticed that a shoes felt very secure on my feet but not constricted. Because associated with the Flex Groove design in the soles, the shoes twisted and turned to accommodate the movement of my feet as I navigated the various curbs, turns, and other obstacles. Amazing able to feel the floor with these shoes and intuitively adjust my step energy needed. I love running but these shoes made me love it more. They look great too. I look forward to many more miles in these shoes.



Consider speaking to Joshua (age 15) about the shoes he was a little less wordy. He did mention that he loved to run in the individual, they felt almost like he had nothing on and that they are incredibly comfortable to wear on a daily basis as well. He just went to obtain a 5 mile run last night within them and said his feet felt great though using the small exception of some rubbing on one of his toes (we should have requested a 1/2 size bigger for him). Because he does wear them on a daily basis, his one wish is for more neutral colors so that he didn’t feel like he needed to match his clothes to his shoes. Fortunately, Joshua was able to design a custom pair of Nike Free Run 3 iD shoes that should be here any day!
