Product Information

Full details

The Nike Free RN Flyknit 2018 is designed for adult female runners seeking a lightweight shoe that offers a natural, flexible feel. Its key benefit is the adaptive sole that moves with your foot, providing exceptional comfort and a second-skin fit thanks to the Flyknit upper. A potential caveat is that the minimalist design may offer less cushioning than traditional running shoes, making it best suited for shorter runs or those who prefer a more barefoot-like experience.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for marathon running?

The Nike Free RN Flyknit 2018 is best suited for shorter to medium distances due to its minimalist cushioning. For marathons, a shoe with more substantial cushioning might be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoe should feel snug like a sock, with no excessive pressure points. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The Flyknit upper offers some flexibility.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The Flyknit upper offers some breathability, which means it can absorb water. While they can be worn in light rain, they are not waterproof and may not perform optimally in very wet conditions.

What is the main advantage of the Free sole?

The Free sole is designed with deep flex grooves to mimic the natural motion of the foot, offering exceptional flexibility and a more grounded feel compared to traditional running shoes.

How does the Flyknit upper benefit the runner?

The Flyknit upper provides a lightweight, breathable, and adaptive fit that feels like a second skin, offering support and comfort without adding bulk.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

These shoes have a relatively neutral design and offer minimal built-in arch support. They are designed to work with the natural mechanics of the foot. If you require significant arch support, consider adding custom or over-the-counter insoles.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or restrictive

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The Flyknit material may also stretch slightly with wear.

Slight discomfort during initial runs

This is common with shoes designed for natural motion. Try shorter runs initially and allow your feet to adapt. Ensure you are lacing them correctly to support your foot without constriction.

Flyknit upper appears snagged or pulled

Gently try to smooth the snagged area. Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces that could cause further damage. Minor snags usually do not affect performance.

Sole feels less supportive than expected

These shoes are designed for a more natural, minimalist feel. If significant support is needed, consider orthotic insoles or a shoe with a more structured design.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight for enhanced agility.
  • Highly breathable Flyknit upper for comfort.
  • Flexible sole promotes natural foot movement.
  • Sock-like fit provides excellent comfort and support.
  • Durable construction for regular use.

Cons

  • Minimal cushioning may not be ideal for long-distance runners.
  • The flexible sole might require an adjustment period for some runners.
  • Limited arch support compared to more structured shoes.
  • Not suitable for very wide feet due to the snug fit.
  • Durability of the Flyknit material can be a concern with rough terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes require no special setup. Simply put them on and adjust the lacing for a secure, comfortable fit. The Flyknit upper will naturally conform to your foot's shape.

Compatibility:

Designed for runners and general athletic activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For those accustomed to highly cushioned shoes, an adjustment period may be needed to adapt to the natural motion design.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing if possible, as it can degrade the materials over time.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the Flyknit material and sole.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
