My son joined a running club at school and needed a good running shoe. He loves these! My big problem is getting him to only wear them on running days he wants to wear them everyday.

We bought these shoes for my son to run cross country this past fall. The shoes were easy to break in, he ran well in the shoes and felt very comfortable with them. They are light shoes that may be designed to run on a track. Nevertheless, he did run through grass, dirt, sidewalk, mud, and the shoes did get wet a lot. Five weeks after purchase (running five days a week, 3-5 miles each time), the stitching in the front of the shoe came loose, and then the entire rim of the front of the shoe detached. Perhaps that was to be expected, but it was very disappointing for me. The rest of the shoe remained intact, but the shoe could not be used for running with a flapping rim (we never tried hot-gluing them).
I expected more from the name Nike, I suppose. I bought New Balance running shoes for him (also light weight), and since then he has worn them for running and for his regular school day for six months. The top stitching has held up perfectly. The insert is now worn flat, but again, it is to be expected from so much use. The insert is easy to replace. The stitching, not so much. I would be wary of purchasing these shoes again.

My kids loved the shoes. Nike runs a little small ... so if your child has wide feet .... not the shoe for them.

Nike Free Runs are the best! I mostly got them to wear to school and work out in the yard, but, when I run/walk with my dogs my feet didn't hurt after.
Nike Free Runs have have very soft padding and are very comfortable. I recommend them for anyone to get them. The free runs soles are very strong they made it two years with me. My past Reeboks did not hold as well as Nike Free Runs.
What I didn't like about the free runs were that even though the soles held the cushioning didn't. After a year or less it started to wear two holes through it. Since I had neon green ones they got dirty super fast so I'd have to power spray them (A machine that puts more power into the spray).
They have little stars all over them that look cool and aren't girly. There are different shadings of the same color all over. The Nike sign on the side reflects light such as a bike. Since I wore them hiking, walking the dogs, and running they went by pretty fast. I hope you will like them if you decide to get them they are very good and fun. I would say if you get bright colored ones try not to get them dirty.

My son likes the colour, cushioning, flexibility and the light weight. Hopefully, this pair will last for at least a year. A bit expensive for kids' running shoe though.
