Detailed Review
When you slip on the Nike Men's Free Run Trail Running Shoes, the first thing you will notice is the amazing level of comfort they provide. The mesh upper allows for airflow, which is especially beneficial during longer runs or workouts. The shoe's design promotes a natural range of motion, allowing your foot to move as it was intended.
The traction provided by the rubber sole is impressive, making them suitable for a variety of terrains, from urban streets to rugged park trails. Their stylish colorway—Concord/Habanero Red/White/Taxi—ensures that you won't just feel good but look good too.
However, while these shoes excel in comfort and breathability, some runners seeking maximum cushioning for extended distances might find them somewhat lacking. It’s important to consider what you're looking for in a shoe—these are best suited for casual runners and daily wear rather than competitive long-distance races.

User Reviews
I use for cross training. I have very skinny feet and these almost hugged my feet to my needs. They are difficult to get on but were stretching out after my second workout. The color is as bright in person as the picture online. I probably could have ordered a half size larger than the 10.5, and will be ordering an 11 next time, hoping the side hug is as good. My skinny feet tend to slide forward and sideways during extreme workouts with any shoe so I am happy with the snug fit of these shoes. I got some slippage forward but very little sideways. It's almost impossible to find women's shoes to fit my feet so a man may want to choose a shoe a little wider.
I have always been able to order shoes on-line. My shoe size very stable. These shoes are much too small. Maybe wrong size stamp. I wore for an hour to see if they may stretch a bit. I’d love to return but don’t know how. I was so confident in the size, I threw the box out the week before I tried them on. And I stuck with these? Lesson learned but I can’t wear them.
Nike's typically run small. These run about a 1/2 size smaller on top of that. You would think these seem very comfortable, however, they're not so great for standing long periods and they don't run as wide as you might think...but to be fair I've only worn them a few days thus far and they could perhaps expand a bit more width-wise. The laces make very little difference in expanding the opening for the foot to fit in and you may very well find yourself wedging your foot in (with a shim). On the plus side, they seem and feel very well constructed and with high quality material and the colors are just as beautifully vibrant as you might think. I would give this a 3.5 star rating but since we can't do halves, I'll be generous and give it a 4. If it was more comfortable, it would have received a better rating.
These shoes fit well for people with slim feet like myself. If you have a wide foot you will have trouble getting these on and off and possibly face an uncomfortable wear.
cannot fit to my right size
Very comfortable but a bit difficult to get on as there is no shoe tongue… it’s just one piece
Love the Free shoes, but this one is way too narrow, and did not fit. I've been wearing Nike Free shoes for 20+ years. Same size cuz I'm old. These are not wide enough. Wish they were, I'd buy several pairs!
Son likes them, says theyre tight on the sides, but im sure that'll widen up a bit in time.
