Details & care

Lightweight Fresh Foam cushioning puts full-foot comfort under a running shoe that's perfect for everyday wear, whether you're racking up miles or just enjoying your day.

Perfect for: Beginning and experienced runners alike looking for a well-cushioned shoe with a neutral stride that doubles easily as an everyday sneaker.

Upper: An open, breathable knit provides essential ventilation when your intensity—or just your day—heats up. Sueded and embroidered details add sporty pops to the minimalist look.

Midsole Drop: 6mm. Classified as a mid-drop measurement, it pushes your foot forward to support a more natural mid/forefoot strike.

Lower: Fresh Foam sole provides full-foot cushioning and promotes a neutral, comfortable stride. Targeted rubber in the tread puts traction where you need it and not where you don't to minimize weight.

  • Cushioning: absorbs impact and distributes weight for consistent, buoyant comfort under each step
  • Neutral: provides soft, even cushioning with an emphasis on comfort during any activity
  • Hybrid: transitions from a running shoe to a street sneaker with high-performance comfort for any activity
  • Lace-up style
  • Removable, cushioned insole allows for custom orthotics
  • Fresh Foam performance cushioning provides heel-to-toe comfort
  • Synthetic and textile upper and lining/rubber and synthetic sole
  • Imported
  • Item #7255270

Super comfy and long lasting
This is a great pair of lightweight sneakers for walking. I try to walk about two hours per day, every day and I got my first pair of this style about 14 months ago. They only just started to feel less comfy so I picked up a new pair. Considering how much walking I do and the fact that I sometimes do it on trails or sidewalks, I feel like this shoe really held up great. They were very true to size and width for and I like that the tongue and heel are a little higher for ankle support but aren't scratchy. Absolutely nothing not to love, here!

Not so comfortable
Definitely not the best NB shoes, use them for work 8+ hours standing and they are not very soft, a little hard on the sides

Different laces.
I purchased these sneakers on Nordstrom Rack online after liking them and trying them in the store. The laces are completely different than the ones that I tried on… the laces on the ones that were delivered were as skinny as a spaghetti noodle, definitely not meant for sneakers. I’m not sure why they were different laces than the photos or the actual shoes in store.

comfy, but runs small
I’m a 7-7.5 and I ordered a 7.5 but I should have exchanged my pair for an 8 because my toes are right along the tip of the shoe. The rest of the shoe fits great, I was also able to remove the insole and swap it for a super feet one and it fit perfectly.

A great experience- outstanding employee
We went to the new Nordstrom Rack in Yakima ;) and it was so much fun! Displayed even better than those on the Wet Side (Seattle). The shoe selection, however wasn’t as good. More options would be great! Otherwise, it was really organized and I did find a pair of tennis shoes (was looking for boots). The reason I come here is that the cashier was extraordinary. Jose had pronouns on his apron and I noticed him representing human rights. I then complemented his adorable BLM pin. He literally offered it to me. I was so honored that he shared it with this white woman and will treasure it. Fantastic job hiring him! Keep him and give him a raise, he deserves it ;) ! We love Nordstrom Rack!
