Note on the running surface I used these shoes on: I use these shoes mostly on the road. The main route I run is abandoned or something, so there is some debris on it (e.g. small rocks, glass, plants growing out of cracks, etc.). I do relatively short runs (5k tops) and a lot of walking.For the Nike Free family, the number (e.g. 3.0, 4.0, 5.0) refers to the cushioning (a 0.0 would be no cushioning). As far as I know the 3.0 is the most minimal cushioning available for this line, and thus represents something far closer to a minimalist shoe than a regular shoe. In addition to the thin cushioning there are grooves that go from side to side across the shoe and a grove running from toe to heel. The side to side grooves are very thin, while the toe to heel groove is a bit wider. I'm not positive as to what the toe to heel groove does, but the side to side grooves give a good amount of flexibility to the sole (like a minimalist shoe, it is flexible enough to roll up into a ball). A downside to these groves (especially the thin side ones) is that debris gets stuck in them easily. Since they are tiny gaps this usually involves tiny rocks. It isn't hard to remove debris by any means (you can just flex them and it drops out), though it may prove to be an annoyance mid-run if something gets stuck. The shoe has good traction on the ground, though I have only used it in dry conditions thus far. The upper part of the shoe is light and flexible. The upper body is fairly breathable, and I haven't had any issue with it getting too hot or sweaty. Rather than an independent tongue and lace structure the shoe is built kind of like a loafer. Thus you can slip the shoe on, and tighten the laces to adjust the fit. It is also worth noting that these shoes are very light. Mine are around 7.2 oz (.45 lb).Overall I think these shoes are great for running on the road, and I definitely recommend them.

I have run through 4 pair of Nike Free 3.0 shoes and have been very pleased with the shoes until the version 4 release. The shoes still take advantage of their lightweight and flexible design which is a signature to the Nike Free line. The low toe-to-heel rise is still present, and the new version has smaller gaps in the sole which means less issues with pebbles getting caught while running. Nevertheless the new version 4 has some major downfalls. The previous version 3 had an improved heel cup which fit close like a glove without being tight, the version 4 slide all over the place and have caused some blistering. Additionally, they have changed the material so it is no longer a breathable nylon, but a more plastic feel which sweats like a greenhouse. The new material is also very low quality. I only have 25 miles on these and the mid-foot fabric is already breaking through. The last 4 pair I had finally broke through in the front toe box between 700-800 miles.Overall I would either look for a different style shoe or a earlier version of the Nike Free shoes. I will probably look for an older version 3 and try to hold out for a version 5 which will hopefully take from their previous designs.

The Nike Free 3.0 V4 running shoes are like slippers, incredibly light weight, and super comfortable. They might work perfectly for only running, or lounging around the house, but as a general shoe to wear every day, they did not hold up.The upper is two piece construction, a very thin elastic material on the outside (I'd call it thin vinyl, but it is some other kind of plastic strechy material the thickness of a vinyl sticker), and an inner more standard cloth like material most shoes are made of. Unfortunately, that outer material tore along the sides of both shoes from normal wear and tear. Nike is outstanding with their warranty and are accepting these back for a refund.Like slippers, these shoes don't provide much support. These were size 14 and the foot slid around inside the shoe a lot. Oddly, they feel like they run narrow.It is sad to say that they only lasted three months. The soles on these shoes are incredibly flexible. They feel almost like walking around barefoot. They weigh next to nothing, they feel almost like feathers. The inside is soft and inviting.Wish they had held up better. They are being replaced by Nike Free Trainer 5.0 with a more traditional solid upper.Nike Free Trainer 5.0 Men's Training/Running Shoes [511018]
