Bumpin this thread to get some people's opinions on Nike Frees

I just got done reading Born to Run now I'm on this long distance minimalism running kick. I hear the Nike Frees are just about the most natural way of getting your foot to flex right and have pure strength next to Vibram 5 fingers or running barefoot.

I've been thinking about getting a pair because I'm really starting to notice how my Adreneline 8's are wayyy to supportive and my foot just isn't flexing right.

I hear the Free 5.0's have too big of a heel to get a nice running gate. What's everyone else's opinions on them who have researched or owned them?

Also, if I get these I'll plan on running in them every day. Sure you can tell me I'm an idiot but all the people I've come across saying you should only train lightly in these shoes are people who love 200 dollar running shoes that support every nook and cranny of your foot. Which is not what I want.

I'm also running a few miles a week barefoot on grass so my feet are pretty strong. I'm just looking for something I can run on pavement or a treadmill with and not look like a retard wearing Vibrams. Plus I wouldn't want to order 5 fingers online.

I just wanna say that I am not a runner, in any way, like I literally just can't do it because I hate it so much. I used to wear Asics and I started to enjoy running a little teeny bit because well I didn't get as much pain as I had before and well it felt good to run. Well I just bought myself a pair of Frees and now i run EVERDAY, and I look forward to it! They are honestly the greatest feeling shoe I've ever worn, ugly as fuck but so comfy.

What frees do you have? 5.0? And yes, this is the excitement I'm looking forward to. I can't wait to legitimately get back in to running.

Personally i think they look like shit, but they weigh like 1/4 of a pound total and that kick assness makes up for their looks.

i dont want to type out everything but i have worked in shoes stores for 9 years now and am a sneakerhead myself, i currently work for new balance but if you name a shoe i can tell you pretty much everything about it, i am a certified pedorthist as well so i can make insoles and shoe modifications. I know how to fit shoes and the type of support each style has. PM me if anybody has questions on fit and support.

With that said the nike free's are awesome for someone that has a high arch and doesnt need stability(most teenagers) extremly light weight and comfy, i prefer the nike air zoom hayward 3, very similar to the nike free's but it has a full length zoom air cushioning. Any questions PM me.
