Nike Air Winflo 9 Premium 'Coconut Milk Stadium Green' DV8997‐100

My husband has knee issues and looks for a shoe that will help keep the pain away. The Nike Air Winflo 9 running shoes has the perfect amount of cushion to absorb the shock from running or walking on hard pavement. The shoes are true to size and fit like a glove without constraining. The material is lightweight and breathable, a definite must in summertime. Purely a personal preference, my husband did not care for the Nike running shoe print on the heel of the shoe. Anesthetically, he would have liked it to be solid black. The only real complaint my husband had was in regards to the outside foam lining the shoes. As you bend and flex the shoes, the foam tends to wrinkle a lot. He questioned whether the foam lining would be durable in the long term. Overall, this is ... MoreMy husband has knee issues and looks for a shoe that will help keep the pain away.

I consider myself an intermediate runner. I run 1-3x per week, normally in hilly areas. I’ve tried lots of different types of running shoes, and after my first few runs with the Winflo 9’s, I’m very happy.They are very supportive. I feel like my feet, ankles and knees are properly aligned and they feel very solid. I do have some knee issues from a past injury, and so far, these shoes have made running very comfortable!They are extremely lightweight. No one likes a heavy running shoe, and while these have a larger, supportive sole, they maintain a lightweight quality which I love.The design is simple, yet sleek. I don’t like “loud” shoes, so these are perfect. They don’t look out of place when worn casually.Comfortable enough for all day wear! This is a big ... MoreI consider myself an intermediate runner.

This is a big one for me, as I like to have a shoe I can run around in with the kids, but also be able to work out in. These fit this need well.All in all, I would recommend these shoes for runners like myself.

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 ... MoreInitial thought: The Winflo 9’s silhouettes are inviting and simple. To be honest, they fit my personal aesthetic closely.

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 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+.
