Sole Wore Out Quickly and Shorter Toe Box
"I have been wearing Craft shoes for almost 6 years. I am a school teacher and I teach special needs students. I have to be on my feet a lot and I wear sneakers every day for work. I purchased these in 2 different colors, so I could alternate them. I didn't even make it through the entire school year with either pair before the tread wore out. I am indoors most of the day. I only wear them for 7 hours a day. ALSO, I ordered both pair in my "NORMAL" Craft size (8. 5). I have ALWAYS worn an 8. 5 in this brand for 5 years. I don't know if the design changed, the manufacturer changed or what changed? But the toe box is more narrow on this style and I had to wear a thinner sock to keep my toes from being crunched up and uncomfortable in the toe box. I have always loved my PREVIOUS Craft shoes. These I DID NOT. I have always been able to wear my Crafts 8. 5 straight out of the box with NO ISSUES. These were not like that. I am HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED in the wear and longevity of both pair of shoes. I love the comfort and as a teacher, this is what has kept me coming back to this brand. I AM ON A TEACHERS SALARY. Paying (almost $500) for 2 pair of shoes (you're expecting to wear the entire year) that you wear daily is a huge financial stretch for me. I expected better. My other Crafts (from 3 years ago) still have tread on the bottom and I still wear them. Actually, I had to go back to them because this style wore out so quickly."

Wore out quickly!!
"I have worn this brand for 5 years. I have loved all the pairs I have purchased -except these. I have the gray/white and the orange/yellow. I am a teacher and I wear my shoes every day. I alternate them. I don't even run in them. I have been wearing them since August and the soles have not held up and will definitely not carry me through until June. Considering the amount I spend on Craft shoes yearly (I buy 2-4) this has been the worst 2 pair I have ever purchased. Please rethink the materials. Also, the sizing has gotten smaller. I have worn the 8. 5 for 5 years. These two were slightly smaller than all the other Craft shoes I have purchased."

"Ordered based on the listed size chart and they are too small. Unfortunately I bought them on sale so there is no returns or exchanges. I like the color and they feel very light and bouncy, but they're just too small"

Most Comfortable Shoe
"Believe it or not, I just bought my 3rd pair of Nordlite Running Shoes. I love my 1st pair so much that I bought a 2nd pair. Recently, I saw them on sale and bought my 3rd pair because I feared they would be discontinued. Everytime I wear them I get compliments. These shoes are lightweight, cool looking and most importantly, very comfortable. I still have the original pair that got me introduced and hooked on Craft shoes!"

WOMEN'S NORDLITE SPEED RUNNING SHOE - WHITE/MULTI
"Fun & fast! Nice amount of bounce without feeling squishy. Roomy."
— Jennifer W. (5/5)
Speedy and springy
"I bought these shoes while in search of shoes to do some speed work and racing in. These shoes it definitely a great fit for just that. The foam is firm enough to feel like you aren't running on a sponge, but it does have a good energy return. I did have some initial issues locking down the back/heel, but I think it just took a little bit to break in to my feet and to get a good sock combo (medium thickness is working well for me now)."
