I feel confident that the fit would have adapted if I had stayed with my original size. I do regret going up in size from my running shoe size, the fit became very sloppy after running in them for two weeks. I went up a half size from a women's 10.5 to an 11. The first impression of the fit was snug in the toe box. Toni's fit experience: the React will adapt to your foot. The React foam used in the midsole creates plenty of bounce. There is a lot of underfoot cushioning to this shoe and the way the forefoot cushioning flares out on both sides of the foot creates a very stable and balanced toe-off experience. It's not waterproof but it takes a lot to get through. The upper does handle wet or snowy conditions fairly well. The rest of the upper is a more substantial knit that doesn't have much give and can make areas of the shoe feel a bit tight. The thinner, stretchier material throughout the laces does however allow a higher volume foot to fit comfortably. The tongue is mostly attached so there is not much play or ability to adjust. The heel is cupped nicely and the added padding on the ankle collar feels nice. The midfoot wraps the foot nicely using a Flywire lacing system and features a very strong arch support. The toebox is slightly on the narrow side but not so much that it pinches anywhere. Keith's take on fit: slightly trim but with compliments. HEEL TO TOE OFFSET: 8.4mm women's/9mm men's Overall the reviews for this shoe were great and we are glad Nike listened to the changes requested in this shoe from V1. At Running Lab, we sell this shoe in the neutral category even though we know many that sell it as a mild stability with some great cushion. This shoe dances the line between stability and neutral in the ever growing grey middle ground between the two types of shoes. The heel clip remains in the shoe for that guidance when you need just a little stability to hold your foot in. The bottom of the shoe remains unchanged from V1 with the same react midsole foam which is on the firmer side but bouncy. The second big change was the addition of the foam around the collar. We are glad Nike added this back in as we are already seeing it fit more customers. It should just be a standard in running shoe design. It usually ends up that the next version includes it back in. Sometimes fashion takes over function and brands do not include the second eyelet at the top. Lets first start with the addition of the second eyelet at the very top this is imperative to get a great lock down when it comes to heel slip. Mainly because it seems Nike listened to all of the feedback on what was incorrect on the 1. The Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 2 is a fantastic follow-up to V1. What did our two wear testers think after running in them? Find out what Keith & Toni had to say here. Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 2 has just dropped at Running Lab.
