Okay, so I know Nike are, historically speaking, evil and all, what with all the little sweatshop kids working for beans, and no, I don't *really* buy the new caring, sharing incarnation, but dammit, I just HAD to try out a pair of the Nike Free 5.0 running shoes. Having worn them daily for the last few weeks (when I'm not wearing my skates, that is) all I can say is that they are UNBELIEVABLY FRICKEN COMFORTABLE!
Wearing normal shoes again just doesn't feel right - I mean, you can't even flex your toes ostentatiously or feel the counters of the surface beneath your feet. Due to their lightweight construction I don't imagine they will last too long, but I simply don't care. My feet are happy. Sue me.
I customised mine at the Nike ID store and even have my name on the tongue, just like in Primary School. Sweet!
Oh, I haven't actually *RUN* in them yet, but as soon as I do, I'll report back.
