How it ranks
The Nike Free 3.0 V5’s rating is an early estimate. We’ve collected 7 runner reviews so far, with product line history also informing the score.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
