My son loves these shoes! So comfortable and they have a very nice cushion and breathable. He’s 3 years old and has a hard time putting them on though. But overall we would recommend them. It’s also recommended by the American podiatrist organization.

Nike Free Ride Boys Shoes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these Nike Free Ride Running Shoes for my 9 year old son. Upon opening the box, we thought the sleek design was very stylish. The shoes are lightweight, yet seems like they will be durable. The sizing of the shoes was accurate but my son did say that the shoes would bend in over his foot and it was uncomfortable. Perhaps a wide sizing option would be better for my son or a stiffer material at the top of the shoe. The material is breathable but if you were caught in the rain, your feet would probably get soaked. The support for the foot is great and has nice cushioning while running around or playing sports. I haven't washed them yet but feel they would hold up well. I like this all white version but would also like other darker color options. I would recommend this shoe to anyone looking for breathable, lightweight athletic shoe option for their kids.

Overall Best Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter absolutely loves her Nike Free Ride Big Kids’ Running Shoes! She loves how comfortable they feel and how lightweight they are. They fit her well and allow her to move around, run, and play comfortably. We also love the design! The white color with the dark Nike swoosh looks sleek, stylish, and easy to match with different outfits. The material feels breathable, and the flexible sole makes the shoes great for everyday activities. Overall, she is very happy with these shoes, and they have quickly become a favorite. We would definitely recommend them to other kids looking for comfortable, stylish everyday sneakers!

Great fit, great quality, happy kid
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son is an avid runner and loves to play soccer and basketball with his friends. These sneakers fit the multi-sport bill and are comfortable enough that he wears them for play dates or to tag along on errands with us. As a relatively new and not confident shoe-tyer, the laces are long enough for little fingers to get a good grip and they stay tied easily. The materials are high quality and the fit was true to size. The shoes were also easy to spot clean after being worn on a muddy day. All in all, an excellent shoe for active kids!
