Nice as adverb
Hi. Is it correct to use the word "nice" as adverb like the example sentence below?
The shoe fits nice.
I think it is correct. Could we have an adverb after a "be" verb? Is the following sentence correct and does "nice" function as an adverb here? Thank you for your help in advance.
It's nice of you to say that.
The shoe fits nice.

Without wishing to detract from Aspara Gus's verified answer, I think it's fair to say that the informal and non-standard instruction 'Play nice!' is commonly said by harassed parents to their squabbling children.
