They are a keeper!
I was super excited to see that Nike brought back the Free RN 2018 after I retired my old Free RN shoes this year. After reading the reviews, I ordered half a size larger than my usual Nike sneaker size, and they fit well. Can't wait to wear them in my next workout!

Horrible
I have had many pairs of Nike Free over the years and have always loved them. Can't seem to find them anymore. I was told these were the closest. I must say they were the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever worn. There is heavy elastic in the back that pushed my foot forward so much that my toes hurt, but left a gap behind my heel. There is something very wrong with the fit of these shoes beyond the stated "runs small".

Cute shoes but they are not true to size
Really cute shoes but they run small. I normally wear a 9.5 and had to return them for a 10. After wearing the 10s for a few months I wish I had gone with a 10.5 because I can't wear anything more than ultra thin socks or my toes are crammed against the front. I'll probably be giving them away as it's too late to return them.

Love them!
By far my favorite Nikes I own! This is my third time purchasing a new pair of black since I wear them until they are worn down lol I love how light and thin they are. So comfortable and not bulky. I have the grey and the white pair too.
