Hi, i’m from Brasil.
The same thing happend to me, with just few months using this kind of tennis shoes. I really agree with u: they are the most comfortable pair of shoes that i’ve had. I just feel like i’m with no shoes!, they’re preety light. Did u know what mean? Sorry for my poor english. Do you know how to speak portuguese?
I think these shoes are very weak (???) and i always put them off and on without… (just don’t know how to say what i want to right now, but for a good reader a half phrase says everything). My name is Deb and my email is arobedvfernandes@yahoo.com.br
Post Script: You buy a lot of things, don’t u?

Out of curiosity, how are these “defective” shoes being worn? Every day wear? Running,? The shoes are built to be worn barefoot and used only during training runs, and not for long distances. I see a lot of people sporting them wherever they go, and with socks on. That is not what the shoe was designed for and is likely why the problem is arising. I’ve had a pair since late winter of this year and other than the sole, see little wear on the fabric.

They say that Nike Frees are best used on an indoor track or treadmill, rather than road running, which really speeds up its wear and tear.

7/21/2006 I just got clued in on the Nike Free 5.0. First pair are on my feet as I type. I’ve read countless posts on the internet about the heel pocket tearing with little or no abuse. Really a crime since the shoe is heavenly. I love to squirm my feet and the Free is perfect for it. So I’ve decided to add some duct tape to the inside of the heel pocket as a proactive solution to Nike’s design flaw and hopefully my Free 5.0’s will last until the grave. Think I’ll take them with me.

Hello,

i bought my first Nike free 5.0 (nike id) before half a year and i haven’t had any problem with them. So i recently bought another 2 pairs in defferent colors.. I noticed that the new pairs at the samer point yours were ripped, now there is something like silicon support. Obviusly Nike fixed this problem.

Interesting to see that more people are having such an issue. I bought mine about 5 months ago and it ripped the other day. How unfortunate!
