Nike Flex Fury Review

4/5

Overall

This shoe is pretty good for a road running shoe. It's really light, but in my opinion it is a shoe that takes around 50 miles to really break them in. The toe box for me was a little tight in the beginning, but after a couple runs the shape of the shoes fit my feet well. This was my first time wearing flats and I was not terribly used to the heel drop, but again, its something I got used to. All in all, its a really light shoe and good for faster running, competitions, and has even enough cushioning to do 15 mile long runs in, but I had to put in some time to get used to the shoe.

Overall

This shoe is amazing. I used them for a track season, summer training, and cross country. They kept up with the high mileage throughout the summer, and I could use them for speed as well. This is probably the most versatile shoe I have ever run in. They were not limited to just roads or the track, I could also use them on the trail. One thing is that the tread runs out faster than I would've liked.
