What are the Nike Free trainer 5.0's?

Are the Nike Free Trainer 5.0's a running shoe? Would they make a good running shoe or are they primarily for training purposes?

They are primarily made for developing your calf muscles. It's definitely not a normal shoe. My dad has a pair and he said that they're pretty amazing.

I really like the runners. I dont do much extra running since i have practice nearly everyday where we run and i love them for wearing around the house. They are really comfortable. I would buy them even if you didnt do any running.

But they don't provide any stabilty at all! I always thought they're only good for running.

I had a pair, they were very comfortable but the material by the heel fell off and the material by the toe fades very quickly.

[tysagk17]

The insoles are thicker or thinner the ones that say 5.0 are thicker and the ones that say 4.5 are thinner.

Did you buy the trainers or the runners? I have the runners and the trails i love them and the trails are really good for wet days lots of traction. I also do a lot more running on trails around my clubs fields.

[soccer4life_7]

i got the runners

[tysagk17]

I love my runners i have them on right now.

I hate mine!

They hurt my feet when i run :( think i'll stick to my Adidas Climacools from running. They are comfy just not to run in.

I think they are supposed to hurt your feet. Its building muscles in your feet, probably just the burning of the muscles.

[JUKE BOX8]

eh??? shoes are supposed to be comfy not hurt your feet... :confused:
