I got 3 pair, love em, they aren't actually great for running. They are EXCELLENT for walking though and they look great.

What distance you trying to run? Honestly, go hit r/running and get some suggestions. The options for people looking to do short 5 mile or less runs gonna be different than someone who does 10+ miles.

My Nike free RN was perfect for someone like me who was gonna run 2-3 miles, but those wouldn’t be my choice for 5+ miles, that’s where I’d cop some ascics
About 3-5 miles :ehh:

Why would you need to switch brands? Nike has structured running shoes too... Best marathoners in the world wear Nikes :skip:

All the current trends in running Nike did first. All the different cushion styles they use to call gimmicks. Is why a company like ON exists. Thinking outside the box on innovation with cushion tech.

Because Nikes are generally more narrow and don’t feel great on my feet for long workouts. Won’t hike in Nikes either…is it unfathomable how people might prefer shoes by different brands for different activities? :ohhh:

I bought the Nike free runs last year. These are a lot softer than im used to but I was running alot in hill side and uneven pavements in burbs. You don't even notice broken ground once you get into a good pace and its easier on the knees compared to other shoes.

I suggest only wearing them for running. They can wear down easily. I usually run 3-4 miles a go.

You’re asking dudes who never leave the house about running lol

Anyway I have the cloudultras that I use for running and they are good shoes. They feel a bit heavy but that’s because I used to only wear flyknits. Outside of that they have the best support I’ve ever felt in a running shoe. If you don’t mind the price they are definitely worth it
