I am very disappointed to see this! The Free 3. I guess I am going to have become a hoarder or try the 4. Did they say anything about drop on 4. I wish they would uncouple support level with heel drop. I believe there are runners who want more support for higher mileage runs without the large 8mm drop.
I ran in these all thru the Fall and they loosen up and become very comfortable. I love the 5. I use 3 shoes: these, skecher GR2, and NB v2.
These are my favorites for training. Cool, I wondered if they might break in a bit. I think you will like them in the long run. As some others in this comment section have noted, the price on the Free 3.
My first pair of running shoes purchased about two years ago was the Nike Free 3. I tried them all and found the V3 to be near perfection. The only exception was that hot asphalt and sharp pebbles were never an issue. I walked, ran and raced in pure bliss for two pairs worth. I gave up on the Nike Free 3. The announcement of the next generation, V5 gave some hope, but my wide and picky foot was again displeased with the confinement felt in the toe box.
However, the grip of the upper seems different from the post V3 adulterated Nike and it may only be the difference of the disappointment delivered by Nike. You can see this happen in a lot of shoes with thin soles, even ones with conventional synthetic mesh uppers. The original Merrell Trail Gloves also looked like they had an exaggerated toe spring, but it was really just the upper pulling on the front of the sole. Once your weight is on the sole, it flattens out.
Should flatten out when a foot is inside. I run in the outgoing model of the Nike Free 5. I also have 3. I also got the injury you get from having your shoe laced up too tight in my size 9 ones so I keep the laces really loose now.
Size 9. The shops tried to encourage me to go smaller saying they are supposed to be snug. I found the original size 8. Maybe I need to persist a bit more with my size 8. Nike has just recently figured out how the body works when running? Am I the only person who thinks that the new bottom could easily be a Vivobarefoot shoe? It has the Vivo V logo in the toe for god sakes. And priding them selves as the creative leaders of sports industry.
Pretty pathetic if you ask me. Yes, I now see what you are asking. Could not find the version number on my pair of 4. I purchased a pair of the nike 5. Why is this?
