Enkraten copat, sem imel že več modelov te firme, vendar mi je ta fantastičen. Ga je možno še kje dobit, rabim številko 43 in 44 se pravi dva para.

In reply to Devin Pruett. I hope so, haven't tried any of the new RN Free line, but seems like they have changed direction a bit.

These looked amazing! I wish my feet likes Nike shoes, though. I always end up with blisters when wearing a pair.

I bought my first pair of Nike Frees 5.0 when I was in college and fell in love. As far as a running shoe, training shoe, or casual shoe this is my favorite. However, it seems that Nike has moved away from the fit of the 5.0 and now has a more narrower fit which causes my foot to pain or fall asleep during my runs. 5.0’s are hard to find and the fit is not comparable to the new version, I have even tried the fly knit. Does Nike plan on bring back the 5.0??? I hope so. If not I may be looking at another brand since I can’t seem to find a good fitting Nike Free-esque shoe fit.

I have run in Nike Frees for several years injury free. I use them as daily trainers. I have run several marathons in them and even a 50k trail run. Now that I am doing more ultra running and my current pairs of Frees are showing wear, I am looking for a comparable trail shoe but I am nervous moving away from the Frees because I have had such good experiences with them.

Nike is always my first choice but am confused to buy one because I have wide feet.

Great article. I have the lady Frees. I love the shoe, great for training, etc. However….

I went from Asics Kahana 6’s for trails and daily use. I didn’t expect to be transitioning into 5K mindset. I’ve worked my miles up with my Asics who admittedly have a lot more cushion, so I bought the Frees. My maiden voyage run was smooth and fast; however, as soon as I stop…. oh my gosh. I got super DOMS like my calves have been slit. Yesterday, was a repeat of having to stop a day for fear of injury – granted I feel like my legs are adjusting more than the maiden voyage.

I’m glad you posted the studies, because I am trying to understand why this is happening, so I can adjust accordingly (and not miss out on training days!) .

I have been using the FREE 5.0s for about a year now. I ditched my orthotics and haven’t looked back. I have very flat feet but these did the trick for me. I run 3-5X a week and my typically run in the FREE is 4.0 miles. I have taken them as high as 9 miles without an issue. I do my long runs in the Brooks Glycerin. What shoe, if any, would you recommend pairing with the Nike FREE 5.0 for longer runs?

I changed to Nike free 5.0 as had insertional tendonitis, I couldn’t run but was walking fast then the occasional jog – the heel counter is great – but then I started running again in Nike Flyknit Lunar 3 with 10mm drop and the heel counter smacking into my heel at every stride – so I’m injured again and back walking in Nike Free – my question is – Many people suggest in the flatter shoes it would put stress on the achilles and cause more strain and an injury compared with wearing a cushioned shoe even though the Insertional tendonitis would get better – I would be interested in your thoughts hope you understand the ramble :-)

In reply to Peter Larson.

Thank you for the reply.
I thought some shoe were specifically made to be used sock-less and 5.0 wasn’t one of them!
So, from now on I’m gonna use it sock-less!!
