Holy blisters! I’ve been getting back into running regularly. I’ve run half marathons before and was on the cross country team in high school. I typically run in neutral shoes (Mizuno or Brooks), but on a whim, I decided to try these. I wore them for two days to break them in—no issues at all. Then I did a moderate 3-mile run on a treadmill, and it was painful. I developed two blisters on the arches of my feet, which has never happened to me before. The shoes feel springy and supportive, but I can’t get past the pain. Also, they’re pretty ugly—super bulky with a strange cross-trainer-like shape.
I’m a massive fan of the invincible 1 and 2s but sorry to say the third version is a massive let down. I feels stiffer less bouncy and less soft the the first too. It’s still a soft shoe but it has just lost some of the magic the two had. I would’ve still said it’s a good shoe tho apart from a massive issue and that’s lock down in the heel, Even with a runner knot I had to tie the lances so hard to stop heel slipping it was not comfortable and couldnt completely stop the slip. Nike please go back to the drawing board on this one and bring back all the things that made the first two versions so great ,bring back the magic!!! Also get rid of the heel slip
This is a great shoe for long and easy runs. It is so comfortable! This is probably the most comfortable pair of Nikes I???ve ever owned (Much better than the Nike Men's InfinityRN 4 Running Shoes). As others have mentioned, this is true to size. I normally wear a size 9 and my toe was literally touching the top of the toe box. I went up 1/2 a side and it fits like a dream (consider the same, especially if you???re running long runs and your feet tend to swell). The toe box is wider than most Nikes, and I appreciate this. Overall, this is a great running shoe to get those miles in! Your knees and feet will thank you.
This is the BEST for walking, running, everday everything. Way better than hoka, on, etc. I have arthritis and bone spurs on my ankles and ruptured lower discs in my back. This shoe helps protect those pain points from flaring up. They feel great right out of the box but after about a month when they break in and mold to your foot they feel even more comfortable. This is my third pair and wear them for errands and everywhere. Considering the cost of gas, groceries, houses, etc these days this shoe is priced very fair. Its a bargain for me if it saves me money and time from a trip to the doc/chiropractor, pain medication, time spent icing my back, ankles, knees, etc.
Huge disappointment. I loved the first 2 editions. The heel slip on the 3 is maddening. The lack of cushioning near the heel and ankle is annoying. The weird hard thing at the top of the tongue makes it difficult to lace tightly and you have to lace it tightly because of the heel slip. I also had a rubber feature of the tread start to separate from the sole after only a couple of months of use which NEVER happened to me with Nikes before. The upper is not as soft or welcoming as the 2. I basically hope the 4 will be a reissue of the 2 and whoever led the re-design of the 3 gets transferred to the mailroom. What do I like? The cushion and the energy return is still great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Zoomx Invincible Run FK3 shoes are very comfortable. There is a lot of cushioning in the sole providing a soft step. The style of the shoes is attractive for everyday wear. I typically wear either a women's 10.5 (US) and 11 (US); I tried the women's 10.5 (US). I think a women's 11(US) or a 10.5 wide would have been a lightly better fit as I found these to be slightly too narrow at the toe for my feet. I did relace the shoes to allow for a wider toe, which helped. I also use custom arch supports which fist well in these shoes. I was able to wear these at work for an 8 hour day and was comfortable all day.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes are very cushioned without being too heavy and sluggish. They perform well on road, gravel and grass; and have sufficient tread for off-road winter running. The cushioned tongue and thick upper result in a very secure feel although it can take a while to dry out. Despite the high stack height, the invincible 3s feel stable on uneven surfaces. While these are definitely not an all-rounder shoe, I was surprised by how well they handled slightly faster runs. The only time I noticed their weight and unresponsiveness was when doing short sprints at the end of an easy run. Thanks to the thick rubber outsole, the shoes are showing no signs of wear after 100 kilometres or so.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes were great for running (treadmill and outside) and doing a bootcamp. I have a classic black and white pair and there is a slight shine to the black material. They are really lightweight but a little bulky due to a thicker, wider sole. When I first put them on there is a significant lift from the sole of the shoe. I was slightly unsteady feeling like it was a bit of a platform but got used to it quickly. I typically wear a size 10 and this felt true to size but I did need to lace using the additional hole at the top for the shoe to feel secure while running. Overall I would recommend this shoe. It fit great out of the box and is versatile for different physical activities.
I bought this shoe because the amount of cushioning appealed to me as I suffer quite badly with joint pain in my knee and ankle after my runs. These shoes are definitely super springy and supportive. They do slip a little on the heel, but I only noticed this when I’m walking in them, not so much when I’m running. Certainly not enough to make me feel unstable or uncomfortable. I’ve had some blisters on my arch after wearing them, but this isn’t unusual as I have flat feet. All in all I’m pleased with them and I’ll continue to train with them for my half marathon in September. Shame they are so expensive, but still a good investment. As always with Nike, I had to order a whole size bigger.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The trainers are snug around the foot but well cushioned so when you run you don't feel much of an impact due to the padding. They're really comfortable and well designed. The material is interesting as it has a plastic feel to the outside so maybe they're also waterproof? - but I haven't tested them in wet conditions yet. The strip at the back of the trainer is reflective so good for late evening/night runs. Overall really happy with them! The only thing to keep an eye out on is that usually get a size 8 but had to get these in a 7.5 and think they fit perfectly so potentially run a bit big.
