A good mix of utilitarian and feminine
I don't tend to be girly and wear much pink, especially for athletic clothing, but I'm really enjoying the pink (almost lavender?) accents on these shoes. Mixed with a few subtle neon green/yellow accents it's a subtly very cool look, and goes well with a lot of different clothing.The breathable fabric is great and also creates for a nice visual texture. There's a lot of support -- possibly almost too much arch support. It's very noticeable when you put the shoes on and may get in the way for some, though I appreciated the shoe's structure. The shoe's tongue is also pretty big, maybe something I'll get used to (is this what the kids are doing? I can be convinced).... Show more

Beautiful Feminine Compression Shoe
So, I'm super torn on these shoes.They look fabulous, they feel weightless. and they are meant for people with narrow feet and high arches (both of which I have). I love the design and the elegant look.However, the arch support is aggressive and the material of the shoe itself compresses your foot. So these are great for runners but not comfortable enough for all-day every day wear. I wore them to take my kids to the children's museum and could not wait to get them off my feet and take them off in the car on the ride home. On the flip side, I wore them out for a run and it was much better. That aggressive arch support when walking was amazing while running. The compression that was too tight all day long added great stability.So all in all, this is a task ...

When walking these rubbed together quite a bit and is the only reason that this is not a narrow-looking shoe from a birds-eye view.So like i said- great for runners- not for everyday wear....

Cute sporty casual comfy!!
My go-to shoe are Vans… I have wide feet and struggle finding shoes that fit properly and don’t have a sock like fit with no tongue like a lot of shoes have these days. I’ve struggled the past year with stiffness and pain in my Achilles and I just put these on and WOW!! Instant comfort and relief. They are so cushioned and supportive without being restricting and harsh on the tops of your toes. I ordered half a size up and I’m glad!! I love these so much I need another colorway... Show more

great overall trainer!
This is a great shoe for me on both the treadmill and road. I am a heavier "athena" (>150 lbs, 5'8") runner that needs a good neutral shoe with plenty of cushion. I now have two pairs of the Nike React Infinity and running in them over a year. The shoe has a very comfortable upper, a low drop sole, large toe box with a sole bottom that is engineered to handle the impact. I don't need shoe inserts, the shoe comes with enough arch support for my medium/high arches. I always order my running shoes 1/2 size up from my normal shoe size (7.5M shoe, 8.0 M running shoe)...

I was disappointed
After owning and loving other Nike brand shoes in the past and with reading the positive reviews for this shoe, I was really disappointed when I tried these on. The color scheme was great and overall a good fit; however, it rubbed under my ankles when walking in them. It was painful. I thought maybe if I broke them in some it would get better - but after trying to wear them twice now, I'm returning them. It's just too hard and stiff in that area of the shoe.... Show more

Love love love these!
Always ready to try new running shoes! I was pleased to received these and they have met all of my expectations.These are a step up compared to my other nike running shoes. They were perfect, but these are a little more expensive and worth every penny! I run every week, so this kind of shoe is important to me. They are so comfortable which is crucial to me, they fit so well, and they feel great on my feet. They are also light and form well when I am running! I am very happy with them and plan to use them as my main running shoe from now on! Outside of running they are great for any active activity, especially in the gym!I am happy with the color, I love neutral colors and it goes well with all of my gym outfits. I love Nike and I will keep buying their sneakers! ... MoreAlways ready to try new running shoes!

I can see them lasting as they seem durable.These are another Nike item I am happy with! But these exceeded my expectations, and have been better than my other running/gym sneakers. If you are active like me and looking for sneakers like this I highly recommend!... Show more

React 3 are not the same as old models
In the past year, I made the switch from Brooks Ghost to Nike Reacts for my easy runs. Since then, I have purchased 2 pair of the React 2 and I loved them. I have high arches, a slender heel but a wider forefoot and the React 2 fit perfect to my foot with a thinner upper and a perfect size toe box. I needed to replace my last pair and could not find the React 2 in my size anywhere so had to go with the 3's this time. They changed them and really don't like the changes.The React 3 have a much thicker upper and do not quite hug my foot the way they used to because the forefoot was made a little longer so in return became slimmer. I also do not like the fact that they took away the heel pull which was another reason why I liked the reacts because having a high arch ...

I wish shoe companies would stop changing new model of shoes just to change them!! Now I am off to find a new easy run shoe.... Show more

Solid running/walking shoe
Pulling these out of the box, the colors were attractive and caught my attention. It was a nice subtle white and light pink with pops of volt. I’ve gotten many compliments from random people of various ages when I’ve worn them.I haven’t gotten as many runs in with them as I would like, but with 3 runs and a lot of walking with them I will say they are very lightweight and breathable. My feet never got hot in these. I have semi flat feet but this had great arch support. I was able to wear these all day comfortably at the zoo walking around with my kids (which was probably the longest wear I had to date on them). This is a solid running shoe and great everyday shoe as well.The odd part I felt on these were the heel thickness. I appreciate the heel support ...

I appreciate the heel support especially running on pavement and your feet taking a pounding. Maybe it will take more time to get used to but it felt like I was wearing a high heel. Again not the biggest complaint since I like the added heel support from the element sole. The problem with flyknit is that although it’s lighter in weight and helps with breathability, once it gets dirty it’s hard to clean (aside from maybe throwing it in the washing machine). My kids stepped on my toe and it left a black mark on the flyknit. I tired to wash it out and some came out but still a mark shows because the material is light colored. Maybe the black ones won’t show as much dirt. When I received the shoes also, it seemed a little stretched out (even before putting my foot in it) where you could see holes. So far after about a month it’s held up fine, but longer term not sure durability wise if it would rip a hole in it.Overall though this is a solid pair of shoes I would recommend for running or even just everyday wear or walking. The design was nice to take the react elements and pair it with flyknit. I really liked how light they were. This being my first pair of flyknits, I did enjoy how breathable it was.... Show more

Spring Dampeners
They are comfortable and have a lot of cushion, BUTTTTT, I have found on my runs that the cushion has dampened the spring in my step instead of improving it. I feel like I’m fighting to bounce off with each step. Definitely an improvement from the air max, but if you want to feel like you could spontaneously start running just because your shoes give you that extra spring boost. This is not the shoe for you. They looks awesome though. Just too much soft cushion... Show more

supports me and absorbs pressure all day long.
I’ve thought a lot lately about how I could really use a new rotation of running shoes because unfortunately my feet have changed a bit with babies etc since I last bought new ones. I have a lot of back and nerve problems that can flare up and down, as well as old ankle and knee injuries that also like to make an outburst because of something as small as rain or the wrong pair of shoes. So with more than a few years wearing down my soles and making me acutely aware of how little natural cushion my feet provide, I was so ready to put the new women’s React Infinity Run Flyknit 3 RF to the test. My abnormally long and sensitive toes were quite happy all day, and the toe box wasn’t too shallow or constricting like some other tapered styles. The shoe maintains a narrow ...

My abnormally long and sensitive toes were quite happy all day, and the toe box wasn’t too shallow or constricting like some other tapered styles. The shoe maintains a narrow and tapered appearance throughout the foot but doesn’t feel narrow, only supported. The toe box does widen to allow for natural toe spread while running, and the cushioned soles react well to absorb heavy impact into the shoe rather than my ankle or ball of my foot. I didn’t find myself putting weight elsewhere and walking with a bad gait because my knee didn’t force me to treat it tenderly. The shoe itself is so solid and comfortable, with support but without stiffness. I didn’t need to break them in, and I was able to pair the airy, pretty white, pink and bright yellow green accents easily with all kinds of clothes.... Show more
