This is an overall good product. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the width. It fits like a really tight sock. I had to take out the laces to get a moderately good feel for me. I have not been able to run in these because of the tight fit, but as casual shoes these are great! I only hope that Nike comes out with wider widths sometime in the near future. ~Nickodeamous

I have only ran in the Free Run+2 and the Free 3.0 V4 so can only compare these two. For what it’s worth I really enjoy running in the 3.0 v4. I kinda like the soft midsole and barely even notice the shoes when I am running in them. I got hot feet once after wearing thick socks but never again. It’s actually my favourite shoe at the moment. ~Romeo23

In terms of longevity my Free 3.0s have been amazingly durable, the first thing that goes is the firmness in the mid-sole, but if you’re running roads or non rocky dirt tracks this isn’t really an issue – you didn’t buy these shoe for cushioning right? They do get a bit spongy after about 400 kilometers, but I kinda like the familiar, comforting feel of a well worn in pair of frees. ~Brian
