Initial thought: The Winflo 9’s silhouettes are inviting and simple. To be honest, they fit my personal aesthetic closely. The super breathable mesh upper feels almost identical to the more expensive Pegasus series (38 in particular).When putting on the shoes, the fit initially felt true to size. I tend to wear shoes a half size up because I have wider feet – and I put these shoes through the ringer as soon as I opened the box. I quickly realized that perhaps they need more breaking in than I had hoped, because my feet were very sore from the compression along the sides. I think this is partially do to the upper being a solid one-piece construction, which I’d assume would be great for everyone except those with much wider feet. The soles were incredibly cushy and ...

The soles were incredibly cushy and sprung back from my own pronated heel strike, providing a soft step which helped my own pace along.Overall, these are a great looking pair of shoes for those who may want to have a daily 1-4 miler, especially for the money. I am not personally in the 5+ miles per day club so I can’t attest to the longevity of running with these shoes.Now we arrive to what I would change… I think the first thing I’d probably do is re-construct the upper to have more flexibility, or, better yet, make the sizing in wide as well. I’ll be happy to throw these on to walk the dog around the park, but I don’t think these would hold up well comfort-wise for a 5k+.

My husband loved these shoes. He traditionally is not a Nike person because he found their shoes to be uncomfortable in the past but he is obsessed with these shoes. The first feature that was a favorite was how lightweight the shoes were both on and off, they are both light on your feet and light to hold. My husband stated that he liked how his feet didn’t like he had weights on by the end of the day from his shoes weighing him down. The shoes have a great comfort level to them, he was able to wear them on a concrete floor all day without his feet hardly bothering him. We loved the simple design of the shoe because it allowed it to be a great every day shoe to go with every outfit but also a great simple sneaker to wear with a business causal look.

The only thing we didn’t like is how one swoosh looks unfinished on one side of each sneaker because it’s not outlined like the other. My husband did state that the shoes felt tight when you first put them on but they loosened up and became comfortable once walking around in them.

If yours squeak, try some baby powder between the insole and sole. I think these have a glued down insole if remembering correctly, but i think i peeled them up in mine. Put baby power between the layers and try to get it to go between the sole from the upper and the foam of the cushioning/midsole where they are sewn together. Sometimes there are vent holes as well. If you get them really wet/dry and that gets washed out it will return some eventually but you can redo it. Ive had several different styles of squeaky shoes and this works. The squeak is between the upper sole and midsole and not the outer sole and the ground like most people think. That is why they squeak on any surface.Had these shoes for about a year and a half now and used and abused them. Feels ... MoreIf yours squeak, try some baby powder between the insole and sole.

Feels pretty much as good or better than pegasus i had, although it is hard to ever get a direct comparison. Ive worked and walked a lot in them and usually feet feel as any other shoe Ive ever had. I coach and do a lot of outdoor work.

The Nike Air Winflo 9 is a lightweight, comfortable running shoe that is relatively inexpensive compared to other brands and models. Slipping on the shoe you first notice the mesh-like material of the shoe form fits to your foot making for a very comfortable fit. I found the sizing to be very accurate for my foot size. Logging your first steps and miles in the Nike Air Winflo 9 you will feel the plush cushioning of the sole right away, I have been wearing cushioning soles of some variety for my trail runners for years now so my feet prefer more cushioning. The Nike Air Winflo 9 does have a heel drop of 10mm which I noticed right away since most of my daily drivers are 5mm or 0 drop so be cognizant of this if you are a stickler for a particular heel drop.

I live in the desert of the southwest and I find the shoe breaths well when the temperatures start to climb. The shoe does have decent responsiveness but the plush sole does have a slight lag for very quick lateral movements, not common in daily running but noticeable in pickleball or tennis. The shoe has a clean, stylish look to it as well so I will use it occasionally as a dress shoe, have to keep up with those sport announcers/commentators that love the suits with sport shoes style.
Before I tried the Nike Air Winflo 9 I was skeptical and thought they were going to be uncomfortable but to my surprise they are very comfortable.I’m very active and after my workouts I usually keep wearing the same shoes to either go grocery shopping, walk my dog, take my kids to the park and relax at the end of a busy day.When it comes to buying running shoes, I look for comfort, versatility, style, and easiness to clean. The Nike Air Winflo 9 provided all these features, and I’m very happy about having them.The fit is true to size and I can tell they are made with durable material that will last. The style is simple and don’t draw too much attention.The black shoe laces are nice, have the perfect length to tie them, and you won’t be able to tell if they ...

The Nike Air Winflo 9 are one of the most comfortable pairs of sneakers I have. I feel like I am actually walking on clouds when I wear these shoes. They are so comfortable and roomy. They make walking around a breeze and I could wear these shoes all day every day. Not only do you feel like you are walking on clouds with these shoes but they also are very well ventilated and keep my feet nice and cool. While wearing these sneakers recently it was quite windy out and I could feel the wind blow through the sneakers. These sneakers are more of an athletic looking sneaker versus a sneaker to wear on a casual night out. They are perfect for daily walks and work outs.

My favorite thing about the Nike Air Winflo 9 was how comfortable these shoes really were. I did not want to take them off at the end of a busy day filled with a ton of walking. I feel like I could have walked so many more miles in these sneakers and they would still be as comfortable as when I put them on.
The Nike Air Winflo 9 do not disappoint! This shoe has a thick sole; but retains flexibility and is lightweight. This adds up to a feeling of walking on air! I wore these shoes for a long walk around the neighborhood, a day of running errands and a quick run. All of these activities were normal wear for a pair of shoes I’d purchase. Compared to other shoes I’ve owned, the soles of these shoes stand out - it’s hard to find a balance between support and cushion. These shoes have it! My soles felt supported, yet I was able to freely move and bend my feet. In addition, this shoe does not slip and fits snugly.While the feel and support of the shoe exceeded my expectations, the fit was a bit different than I expected. I received the size I normally would purchase, but ... MoreThe Nike Air Winflo 9 do not disappoint! This shoe has a thick sole; but retains flexibility and is lightweight.

I received the size I normally would purchase, but it was very snug. I was only able to wear thin running socks with these shoes or they were too tight to be comfortable. If I repurchase I would get at least a half size bigger.The look of the shoe is clean and simple. This could be worn for workouts or with casual wear. The Nike swoosh on the side doesn’t stand out as much as other Nike’s I’ve purchased, but it actually adds to the clean, simple design.Overall, I really like this shoe and would repurchase. I expect this shoe to wear as other Nike’s I’ve owned while being the most comfortable Nike I’ve had! My only complaint is that the seem to run smaller than other Nike’s I’ve owned, needing one to purchase half to one size larger than typical.
