All day comfort
I was pleasantly surprised when I laced up these shoes for the first time. For me, it typically takes a few days of wearing a new pair of shoes, about a couple of hours at a time, before they break in and begin to feel natural on my feet. But I wore this pair for several hours right out of the box and felt no fatigue or discomfort.The shoes are super light in weight and breathe very well. I've taken them on several 1-hour+ walks with my dogs, gone on a couple solo runs, and spent some time jump roping with them. As far as the runs and dog walks, I really appreciate the contour of the sole, as well as the supportive width. The rounded sole feels like it eliminates all stepping resistance. The grip is strong too. I live in the Pacific Northwest so it's often wet ... MoreI was pleasantly surprised when I laced up these shoes for the first time.

The grip is strong too. I live in the Pacific Northwest so it's often wet outside, and I've had no issues slipping. The width of the soles is another highlight of the shoes. I feel it'd be impossible to roll your ankle while wearing these. And lastly, as I've especially felt through jumping rope, there is a great sense of shock absorption.I've noticed how these shoes are not very photogenic. They look kind of weird and dorky in pictures, but in the real world, they look like a normal pair of running Nikes.Overall I'm very satisfied with these shoes, and I look forward to eating up the miles with them....

Comfortable, supportive, lightweight Fly Knit, responsive, perfect daily trainer!
I owned the React Infinity 1, and it met my needs for a comfortable, responsive, supportive shoe for outdoor runs, primarily on concrete. I stepped away from running for a time, concentrating on competitive powerlifting , but recently the running bug bit me again .I purchased a pair of Nike Pegasus, which are also a phenomenal daily trainer, but also wanted a a pair that would serve as my recovery pair , that also work for a pair for long easy runs. The Infinity 3 do not disappoint! They are supportive, have awesome cushioning, and do provide a spring to my step. The shape of of the heel naturally gave me a great rolloff, and landing on forefoot, and my calf cramping was non-existent;. I look forward to my next run in them!... Show more

Firmer than expected, but getting better
I bought these to replace the Invincible 3's that caused pain in my midfoot.These Infinity 3's were firmer than I expected. The foam felt soft from the sides, but on my feet it felt firm. After the first run they began to feel a little more plush. After a week of running and about 24 miles they feel much better and even a little bouncier. Weird.The shoes are very stable, very planted. They seem very durable so far. Kind of like the tanks of the shoe world.I had intended these as easy day shoes, but they felt pretty good up to VO2 max pace. Interval day isn't out of the question. We'll see.I'm giving 4 stars mostly because they aren't as comfortable as I'd expect from a big, heavy shoe. They feel like I'm only compressing the shoe a very small amount. The ...

Good running shoes that look nice too
The Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 3 RF shoe fits my foot like a glove. The flyknit upper hugs your foot and is super breathable. There is moderate arch support, and ample cushioning from the foam sole. I found it easy to get the shoes on and adjusted to my preferred tightness. Once on, the shoes don't feel too heavy and provide a bit of bounce as you walk or run around.Design-wise, the Cobalt Bliss/Black/Football Grey colorway is pretty subtle, besides the pink heel strip. The black and gray flyknit gives the top of the shoe a classy look, almost like a tweed pattern. It is very different looking compared to the mesh you might find on a non-flyknit sneaker. There is a little bit of pink text on the tongue that matches the pink that wraps around the heel. I don't ... MoreThe Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 3 RF shoe fits my foot like a glove.

With the tall, white foam sole and the pop of pink, I think these are unlikely to be my go-to casual sneakers, but they are great style-wise for running shoes.One issue I noticed is that I ordered my normal size and the fit felt a little tight. I'm not sure if the flyknit upper will stretch enough to make my normal size comfortable. You might want to order a half size up. With a slightly larger size, I do think these would be comfortable enough to wear all day.I really like the classy design of these shoes. They are not wild looking like some other running shoes, but they fit well and are really comfortable. I think it would be neat if the pink color was also part of the flyknit texture that already looks really cool. The texture and pattern on the bottom of the shoe is very different looking, and I wonder how well it will provide traction on wet surfaces. I didn't have a chance to get out in the rain, but definitely something I want to test further as I continue to break these shoes in.... Show more

Most Comfortable Running Shoes I’ve Found!
These shoes fit just right and they honestly feel amazing! When they showed up I put them on and literally felt lighter. I couldn’t wait to take them for a run. I’ve been running on and off since I was in high school and ran cross country. I’ve been trying to get more into it and just being more fit overall. These shoes were a huge leap into that. The design is perfect for a running shoe. The support in the arch was so obvious and definitely makes it easier to run and know you aren’t going to be hurting your feet! The shoe was so comfortable. To break them in I wore them around my office and didn’t feel like I had to take them off. I went through my work out without an issue. My feet were extremely secure. There was no sliding back and forth. It was an easy decision ... MoreThese shoes fit just right and they honestly feel amazing! When they showed up I put them on and literally felt lighter.

There is a nice stable cushion that keeps you comfortable all day. There is nothing I would change about them! Great shoes!... Show more

Most Comfortable Shoes for All-Day Wear
The Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 3 is without a doubt the most comfortable and well-fitting shoe I have ever worn. I went with my true size and these provided me the perfect secure fit I love in a running shoe. Not only is the fit from heel to toe perfect for me, but also the width of my foot is outlined in a way that I have never felt from any other shoe, not even other models with React and Flyknit. The shape of the midsole is aggressive, with it being wider on the forefoot and heel and more narrow in the midfoot, which really helps to lock in the fit and keep me stable. The React material that the sole is made of provides the exact amount of bounce and energy-return that I want to help me keep moving and stays comfortable even when just wearing the shoes ...

The React material that the sole is made of provides the exact amount of bounce and energy-return that I want to help me keep moving and stays comfortable even when just wearing the shoes casually. I think the design of the shoes is quite attractive, especially in the "blue orbit" color scheme that I got. The half-swoosh with the contrasting mini swoosh underneath is a unique look and the pattern in the Flyknit is also very appealing to my tastes. I appreciate the lack of a pull tab, as I always find them more annoying than useful. Usually I gravitate towards Nike's retro styles for casual wear, but since I got these, I haven't wanted to put any other shoe on my feet. These are breathable just like other Nike models with Flyknit, but the padding sets them apart because there is just enough on and around the heel to make a huge comfort difference. The comfort, fit, and design of the React Infinity Run Flyknit 3 make it my number one recommendation to anyone looking for a new running shoe, or even anyone who just wants comfortable shoes for casual wear. While these shoes are not heavy by any means, they are slightly heavier than other Nike running shoes I have, so attempting to reduce the weight is the only thing I would personally like to see updated on a future model....

My New Go-To
I have always been an avid Nike enthusiast and finally found a sneaker to replace my old Nike Renew's. I was immediately drawn to the design of the React Infinity 3’s-in particular the pop of pink against the black on this particular color way. I was hoping they would live up to the quality and durability of my old faves, and I was certainly not disappointed.I am generally a size 12 in most sneakers and, as always, Nike delivered a shoe that is very true to size. The sneakers immediately felt as though they were molded to my foot and seemed to become even more so with every step I took. They have quickly become my favorite everyday sneaker whether I am going for a run or just running errands. I also spend a lot of time on my feet professionally, and these have ...

I could not recommend them more.... Show more

Outstanding for basketball referee
I bought these for use as a basketball referee and I already owned the previous generation for that purpose as well. This shoe is a huge improvement in every aspect.First, the all black colorway is a perfect fit for uniform requirements, compared to the previous generation where the colorway was more of a black/grey. Also, this shoe seems more stable laterally than the previous one; yet it also feels like it absorbs shock off the court better than the old shoe as well. Plus, it seems Nike has solved one of the issues with the previous shoe's tongue tearing at its stitching - I've had no issues with this one.The only issue with durability is the insoles. They are basic foam and eventually they started scrunching up and folding over near my toes. This is probably ...

They are basic foam and eventually they started scrunching up and folding over near my toes. This is probably because they weren't exactly designed for as much side to side movement as I've been using them. These shoes are otherwise so good that I'll find something that'll last inside the show.A lot of my colleagues seem to like a certain competitors' maximalist shoes but I think these are just as good for your feet and they look way better as well. Nike didn't design an official's shoe (or even a uniform shoe) but they might as well market these for that purpose as well!... Show more

Stable and Supportive
The React Infinity Run are a perfect shoe to round out my husband's Nike collection. Up until now, he has run exclusively with a pair of Nike Pegasus. He really likes having the Reacts to give him the options for different and complementary pros. The Reacts are much more supportive. He loves the arch support and the feeling of stability. He says these are his best shoe if he is feeling any aches or for inclement weather conditions such as rain or winter. Also, he would chose these if he was going to do longer endurance running.The Reacts are super comfortable and easy to run in. As compared with the Pegasus, the enhanced support causes him to feel more of the run in his thigh muscles then his calves. He did note that these shoes were not as speed-focused as the ...

He likes this aspect of his other Nike shoes, and it is the only thing he wished he could add to these. Overall, the Reacts are an excellent choose for comfort and long runs; he could wear these every run without any discomfort.The design and look of the Reacts are excellent as is the quality. They are true to size. My husband is a standard width and is typically between a 10.5 and an 11. He can size up or down depending upon fit. He got these in a 10.5, and the fit was comfortable. He possibly would have preferred sizing-up for more toe room, but he had no issues with the 10.5s when he ran.... Show more

The VERSATILE Infinity
This is the third generation of the React Infinity Run. It has evolved over the years with tweaks here and there. The most noticeable feature of this iteration is the upper, which was most breathable than any other generation for me. It retains the same midsole and outsole with a minor aesthetic trim of the heel clip.The Infinity React 3 fits TRUE TO SIZE. Whatever size you opt for in the majority of your sneakers should be the right fit for you. The movement in the React technology give you an energetic bounce that is not too plush like most super foams out there. It’s on the firm side of the cushioning spectrum, which is just what I prefer when I’m working out.I mainly used this shoe for strength training and running, and it GETS THE JOB DONE… very well at ...

It’s on the firm side of the cushioning spectrum, which is just what I prefer when I’m working out.I mainly used this shoe for strength training and running, and it GETS THE JOB DONE… very well at that! Whether it’s doing burpees, different variations of push-ups, lateral movements, and other calisthenic exercises, I had no issues at all! I can even wear it all day at work (medical field).When it came to running, they were my daily trainer when my runs called for slow to moderate paces. During runs, I felt like they could handle a variety of paces, but their sweet spot is in the slow/recovery miles. They really shine in there.After 50 miles of running and a few weeks in of strength training everyday, the durability of these sneakers is remarkable! After looking at the wear of the outsole, I have no doubt that these will exceed the 500mile mark for me!Now, this shoe is not perfect. When considering a sneaker purchase, I look at everything; how the sneaker feels, performs and how it looks. The aesthetics of this sneaker is its only weakness to me. The tongue on the shoe makes it look more bulky than it is and feels. The colorway I got is prone to getting DIRTY fast!For what it does, the React Infinity 3 can be a great workhorse as a daily trainer for your running AND strength training needs. It’ll last a LONG time even if it’s literally used daily. If you don’t really mind the aesthetics of the sneaker and want it for USE, the React Infinity 3 is a sneaker to greatly consider!...
