I hate that Nike quit making this model. I’ve resorted to finding barely used pairs on online market places. I wear a pair as every day shoes, and another pair of running. I’ve run as far as a half marathon in the shoes. Generally I like a cushioned shoe as I have boney feet, and while you wouldn’t expect it, these provide adequate cushion for your foot bones and great arch support all while hugging to your foot. No shoe sloppiness – another pet peeve of mine.

Nike really needs to bring this model back!

They felt good on, and to be honest, I rarely ran in them. The reason I rarely ran in them, I was convinced they were too minimalist to work on a longer run. Well, this year (after owning them for several years) I finally put them through their paces. I’ll be running a half marathon in them this weekend and have no worries about my tender feet. These shoes are hands down the most comfortable running shoes. I am now scouring the web for these in used form as they are no longer made by Nike. I tried a new pair of the Flyknit RN 5.0, and had to send them back – not even close to the 4.0 model. I wish Nike still made these, and I regret not wearing them on my runs sooner.

What I found was the most comfortable shoes I can ever remember wearing. They are truly like socks, with enough underneath to protect my feet. They are the only shoes I am really comfortable wearing sockless (though I do tend to notice the small pebbles and too much dirt that get in the shoe when I do go sockless).

They are a fast shoe. Not sure what’s the farthest distance I’ve worn them for, but I’ve worn them for half marathons with no problems.

At the time of writing this, I have over 800 miles in these shoes. The soles are visibly worn and some of the stitching is coming undone, but that’s it.

The one thing I dislike is that I am constantly getting small stones stuck in the sole, especially between the hexes toward the heel.

But I can assure you that the durability is outstanding for an everyday shoe. I’m a nurse and wear 4.0 flyknits at work – I probably cover on average 12kms a day just at work and my first pair have held up for 3 years. I also wear them to the gym and in the yard. I have just replaced them but I could probably push them for another 6 months if I wanted.

overall the shoes preforms well and they’re undeniably comfortable. The upper Flyknit fabric works really well and looks cool.
Having said that i felt let down by the cheap foam rubber molded sole which could be coincidentally better given the price, on that premise i can’t justify the price. Sadly I wouldn’t buy them again.

You can but I would rather not due to the minimal protection. It is however very good from 5K to 15K..very fast!

It is essentially a slipper – there is no technology – just a nice, knitted upper on a single-density midsole, with flex cuts marked into the bottom. It should cost £/$40-50 max. For that, I give it a 2.
