The good news is that there doesn't seem to be any heel fabric to tear. The bad news is only one insole, hope it lasts.
I'm a mild-moderate overpronator, found it difficult to find trainers which give me support whilst not giving me blisters under the arch. But if these shoes haven't given me any lower leg problems after a couple of weeks (and I must say I can't see them doing so) I reckon I'll be wearing Nike 4s everywhere apart from weddings!
Has anyone else found that they seem a bit long. Even the size smaller still seemed to be long in the foot. My big toe is about an inch from the end. It doesn't seem to be a problem walking round teh house but I don't know if it will affect my running. Also does anyone wear socks with them as I feel like I will get blisters on the arch as they are rubbing already
Sales person tried to convince me to buy them in Black because 'they look nicer' even though I told her they were for running in! Typical....
Heel pocket aside, I really, really love these shoes.
Corndoll, I wear them with socks.
Womens £19.99 and mens £29.99. Ignore the price tickets - the womens were priced at £29.99 and the mens at £59.99.
For anyone in central London, having walked up and down Oxford Street, I can confirm that the branch nearest Bond Street tube has the best range of sizes - very little left in the branch nearer Tottenham Court Road.
For Nike rep (Notts/Derby area), any chance you could email me your contact no.
The Nike/Bowerman site I don't find very useful.
Thanks.
Thank you very much for your e-mail.
Regarding your question, please find here below how the situation occurred.
Your pair of Nike iD Free 5.0, **********, placed on 06/06/05, was manufactured ontime, but failed in our strict quality check.
We had to ask the factory to re-produce the shoes again in order to meet your expectations and our high quality standard.
This however caused a delay to deliver your Nike iD product ontime and according to the estimated delivery date.
We are sorry we couldn't meet your expectations, the Nike Free turned out to be a major issue with regards to the manufacturing process.
The delay affected all the Nike Free 5.0 orders that were placed during the last two months.
Lately we have reviewed the situation and we have offered our customers a 10% discount + free shipping cost, which we will adjust automatically ourselves in our system.
The shoes are now manufactured and left the factory for our distribution center on the following dates: 11th, 12th and 15th of August.
Again we apologize for the delay and we thank you for the understanding.
Should you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact us again.
With kindest regards,
2 Months and 2 weeks and still counting - Fantastic service
(just trying to identify the aggravating factor here - not casting any stones!)
I can see a potential rip threatening in the material pockets of mine!!!
So am now being extra careful when they go on and off, but I know it is going to go at some point.
And just to confirm - there isn't much point in going in for the iD service at the moment.....?!?! You would have thought if a pair of shoes are made especially that they would easily pass quality standards.... I wonder if the heel pocket ripped...?!!!!!!
By the way - I can't see anything on the Nike site about the 4.0's - can anyone help me out here???
I thought at first there was no heel fabric to tear, but comments from others earlier in the thread lead me to believe I'm talking rot - obviously I haven't properly followed what the bit of fabric looks like. Mine hasn't torn yet anyway, 2 weeks and counting...!
HTH, any queries feel free...
This can't have been good for the old Nike PR can it? Not only the long delay but the exceptionally poor customer communication to let us know what's going on.
Bad side is the ones I bought are now in the sale at £20 quid in footlocker, I paid £60. Oh well!
