solid flats

5/5

Overall

I use these primarily for faster intervals on the grass and track, and the occasional road race. they are super light and feel super fast. comfort is good until after about 5-6 miles which is expected. durability is solid, i currently have about 150 miles on them and they are still going strong.

Too narrow for me

4/5

Overall

I usually don't have any issues with shoes being too narrow, except for some New Balance shoes but these are extremely tight around my foot and kinda hurt. I don't know if it's me or the shoes. I don't have this problem with other Nike shoes. So for me, they are not comfortable at all. I would have to wear them without socks for them to fit and in the winter is a no-no. Also, they don't have any grip whatsoever so when the track was a little wet or icy, I couldn't run in them at all and had to switch shoes.
