Soccer Mom Approved: Nike Flex Trainer 4 Shoes

Normally I like to do research on shoes that I want to buy and then look for the best deal online. Butearlier this month when I was packing to leave for the weekend for Tatym's soccer tournament, Irealized that my Puma tennis shoes were covered in paint! Seems Tatym "borrowed" them for workwhere she had to paint. And my Everlast tennis shoes have been converted to "mowing shoes", so Iwas tennis shoe-less. Even though Tatym's soccer team's color is Kelly Green, I didn't feel likewearing grass-stained shoes.

So off the mall I headed. I went to all of the stores that sold Nike tennis shoes looking for the bestdeal. I figured since I would have to pay for these shoes myself (the others were sent to me for freeto do reviews), I would buy my all-time-favorite brand of athletic shoes.

I ended up buying these Women's Nike Flex Trainer 4 shoes at Famous Footwear, which were/are onsale for $49.99 (regularly $64.99). I wish they would've been having their BOGO sale as I ended upbuying another pair of shoes that I'll review in another post.

My daughter, Macy (the fashionista of my girls) told me they were ugly, but the other soccer momsliked them (or so they said). Above is a photo I took while sitting in the bleachers waiting for Tatym'ssoccer game to start. (Their team got second place in that tournament.) Notice my pom-pom socks?!

Nike Flex Trainer 4 Shoes

Pros: Comfortable; Affordable; True to size.

Cons: Mesh allows wetness in (if the grass is wet or it's raining); Inside mesh panel was a tad saggy

(but I didn't notice again after the first day).
