Buy it if you have just started running or love walking, and need a versatile, durable, and water-repellent training shoe that doesn’t cost you a fortune. It’s a great choice even for those who want a nice-looking shoe for running errands or casual wear.
Who should not buy it
Don’t get it if you:
- want a lively running shoe. Get the Nike Air Zoom Vomero 16 instead
- like a softer feel underfoot. The Nike Downshifter 12 is much better at that
- want a more breathable shoe. Consider the Nike Quest 5 in that case.

Judging from the reviews it has garnered, this shoe is for low-mileage runners. But reviewers found it good for other types of training as well, such as gym workouts and walking.

Though not completely waterproof, the addition of the Shield membrane makes the shoe protected against rain. A tester shared that the upper is “perfectly engineered to withstand all weather.”
Two other runners chimed in: one stated that his feet "have stayed dry running in the melting snow," and the other underlined that the upper "does not get socks wet even if splashing through puddles."
Another runner pointed out that it is perfect for winter as the membrane is “like a jacket to keep the warmth of the legs in.”
On the other hand, as with similar shoes, it is not very breathable, so it “will make your feet sweat in summer” and "can feel a little like socks in plastic bags if it is really hot out."
Budget shoe, yet doesn’t compromise on comfort
As with the standard version, an expert shared that the upper “feels very comfortable” and a walker reported that you can feel the “comfort plus quality.”
Not a fun midsole in the Winflo 8 Shield
Unlike the previous version which had a rather forgiving midsole, the Winflo 8 has a slightly firmer feel underfoot. Testers found it ok for occasional running, but in the end, it lacked cushioning for longer runs, and there was no energy return.
On the bright side, a runner underlined that there was "perfect arch amp."

Nike Winflo 8 Shield is definitely strong
Another aspect that testers loved about this Winflo, is its excellent durability. Reviewers found it surprising, given that it’s an affordable shoe for beginners.
