Nike Winflo 8

What I was looking for is very lightweight, breathable, and comfortable.

Heaven on my feet.

The Nike Winflo 8 is a great everyday utility shoe. It can be worn for quick gym workouts, short runs, runs to the grocery store and other everyday activities without thinking twice. They fit true to size length wise but are narrower in the toebox and require some break in time. Luckily the materials are mostly textile and break in quickly. Speaking of materials, they are nothing to write home about but they do the job. The outsole is thick rubber and very durable. The textile upper is not premium but is does resist water and can hold up from everyday use. The midsole is firm enough to provide stability for short runs and the zoom cushioning feels nice under foot. I wouldn't recommend them for long runs as i feel like the fit and lack of any torsional support feature can lead to some discomfort and fatigue over time. I don't know if it was my foot shape but the shoes seemed to angle inwards and took some getting used to when running. While the outsole was thick and durable it doesn't extend enough around the edges of the shoes which allowed for some wear of the midsole from contact with the pavement. They look better than the average running shoes and I even recieved a few compliments on them from family members. I had no hesitation throwing them on to run errands and wear throuout the day. Overall i think the Nike Winflo 8 is a good comfortable semi-casual shoe that can be used for light workouts and short runs without any issues. Given their price, the value is definitely there especially if you can catch them on sale.
