What?s confusing is where the other shoes fall in the spectrum

What’s confusing is where the other shoes fall in the spectrum. It’s as if Nike’s marketing department fell in love with this “Free” concept and decided to create a bunch of new shoes with the title Nike Free while abandoning the barefoot scale they created.

You can check out a the official Nike Free running page. They have an interactive tool that allows you to “Explore the Nike Free Family.”

The only problem is that this tool only shows you 3 Nike Free shoes. And as we learned there are quite a few more Nike Free shoes than 3. As a rule of thumb I would place the training shoes in the upper 8.0 to 9.0 on Nike’s barefoot scale. So if you are truly looking for a barefoot running shoe/experience I would stick with the Nike 3.0′s or 5.0′s. However, like I said I’ve read pretty good reviews for all their shoes.

Hope this helped! It took me a while to figure all this out.
