Nike Free Trail 5.0 - New Nike Free Trail 5.0 Review

Brand new to the Nike Free family is the Nike Free Trial 5.0 which is the more rugged version of the Nike Free and Nike Free Trainer. The Nike Free Trail 5.0 is brand new and looks fantastic - thicker sole, stronger / darker colors, a sleeve insert for easy slip on access, and the patented free technology that resembles forrestry.


If you've never worn a Nike Free - do yourself a favor... its a treat! They are great for muscle development because they simulate bare foot running. If you are a pure runner - try the Nike Free. If you are a cross trainer - try the Nike Free Trainer. But for the outdoorsman or more rugged user, the Nike Free Trail 5.0 is outstanding!

New Notes: while I still rate the Nike Frees a 5/5 (the trainers, frees and now the Trail), I do recommend that you be careful with the thin 'transpan (see below) layer on the heel of the shoe. It is very fragile and can rip somewhat easily... so be careful and always remove the shoe with your hands (not the other shoe!!)

About the Nike Free Trail 5.0 from Nike

Free your sole and the rest will follow. Nike Free mimics the natural mechanics of your foot, but protects like a shoe so you're free to reap the benefits of barefoot running while on a trail.
