I am not sure whether this page is still active or not but if it is, great! I bought the same pair of Nike Fre 4.0 in 2015 and have worn them ever since. BEST PAIR OF SHOES I’ve worn so far: durable, comfortable and overall stylish. However, by now they are well worn out and I am looking for an equally good replacement. Do you have any recommendations that come close in 2020? This year’s version looks like a crossover of a croc and diving shoe.

Cannot comment on the wear from own experience, a friend uses them in the gym daily, and works out pretty heavily. He says they hold up very well.
Regarding the picking up of Stones I’m a bit puzzled. I read about that in every Free review but have never had a stone in my sole once, despite running about 40k a week in the Frees on gravel, and gras.

I have not worn these to the gym, but they are my daily shoe at work and after almost 6 months of pretty continuous wear the soles still look pretty good, though one of the seam on the upper back near the heel has ripped a bit. But not enough that I can’t still wear them.

I read your article and I feel pretty convinced about the shoe (except for the picking up stone bit but I’ll get over it) however I have one really major concern
That is how it will perform at everyday gym work I’m worried that especially weighted clay raises might just tear or break the soles. Please let me know on your verdict. Thanks.

However i was pretty shocked to find the soles are poorly designed manufactured from foam rubber molding with no solid rubber grip.. hence the the soles ware easily and become slippy in wet surfaces. sadly i wouldn’t by them again.

This was the article I was hoping to find. I’m not so much a real runner but I walk run. I have been loving these Nike 4.0 ‘s so much and I walk ran some 5 ks in them but now I’m training for the Gate River Run 15 k.
I’m scared and daunted.
I started searching around the net for information that wasn’t too technical, to see if these shoes can make it.Loved everything you said and even experienced a couple of the same things you mentioned (tag).
Anyway, thanks.

On the 4.0

Same issue for me, only complaint I have about the 4.0 is pressure on the top of my foot from the laces/flywire.

I meant Flywire, not Flyknit. On proper inspection it appears to be not the laces but the Flywire that runs inside the Flynit upper that “digs” into my feet.

I like my running shoes flashy which is why I went with Bright Crimson/Black (2015 model). So they’re a no-go for daily wear at work.
After having run in them for ~50km now (5-8k sessions), I noticed that even with socks the laces in the most upper eyelets cause red pressure marks on my feet. I guess it’s because of the narrow, and unpadded tongue. There are no issues when lacing the shoes more loosely but in doing so they’re only good for very easy miles, as the ride gets very unstable then.
I tried to move the tongue over the area to have some fabric between my foot, and the lace/flyknit structure. Alas it was to no avail, as the tongue will center itself back during running.

As a bonus I have found the 4.0 Flyknit upper to be incredibly durable. Holding up great with daily wear at work and the occasional run. Thanks for checking in!
