FAQs
Is the Nike Free Run 5.0 true to size?
Yes, it generally fits true to size for most users, though the sock-like fit provides a snug feel.
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
These are generally designed for shorter runs; those looking for high-mileage marathon support may prefer shoes with more structure.
How do I wash them?
Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not put them in the washing machine or dryer.
Can I use these for heavy weightlifting?
While stable, the foam is designed for responsiveness and movement; for heavy lifting, a flatter, harder-soled shoe is often recommended.
Are these made of recycled materials?
Yes, the product is constructed using at least 20% recycled material by weight.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose after breaking in
Adjust the lacing pattern to lock the midfoot area more securely, utilizing the top eyelet if necessary.
Visible debris in the knit upper
Use a dry, soft brush to gently dislodge material from the knit weave; avoid pulling on loose threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Free Run 5.0, avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial washing machines. Clean the shoes by gently wiping the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For the outsole, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high temperatures can deform the lightweight foam midsole.
