Nike Free Run+ Review Nike Blazer Mens UK sale One oddity about this shoe is that it has a curved last and an offset lacing system, which makes it look like the shoe bends medially when viewed from above (see photo to the left). My sense is that this is more a function of the lacing system altering appearance than anything structural, but it makes for a bit of an odd look from above. So, here are the impressions after around 30 miles on the Mizunos ¨C what a contrast to my previous shoes. You can absolutely feel the road in these ¨C in fact, I feel like I¡¯m gripping the road as I run. Like many things in life however, this strength may be also be their greatest weakness ¨C I¡¯m concerned how they will feel at the marathon distance. So I¡¯m going to build up the distance slowly, using them for only stepback long runs, speedwork, and easy runs initially (still mixing in with the Nike¡¯s). Appearance: As always, Nike pays careful attention to the appearance of their shoes, and the Free Run+ is no different in this regard. It¡¯s a great lookin g shoe, and comes in just about any color you can imagine ¨C this fact alone seems to be a testament to Nike¡¯s confidence that the shoe would be a big seller. Ads for the Free Run+ are colorful and highlight the shoe¡¯s flexibility, and it¡¯s one of the few more minimalist shoes that you will see on the walls of shopping mall shoe stores like Foot Locker and Finish Line.Conclusion: In summary, the Nike Free Run+ is a great looking, very comfortable shoe that is an excellent choice for someone who runs in traditional trainers and wants to transition to less shoe. For someone who has already made the switch, it can serve a role as a recovery and distance shoe, and my feeling is that the Free Run+ would hold up well as a marathon shoe for more minimalist runners as it provides some protection from late-race form-breakdown (though I would probably recommend the Saucony Kinvara over the Free Run+ as a marathon shoe since it is a bit lighter and has a bit less heel). The Free Run+ will likely see continued use in my rotation, and although it is far from barefoot-like, it fits nicely in the transitional minimalist category. I actually bought a pair of the Peg 29 earlier this year for a consulting project and wound up running in them a few times. Though they are more shoe than I typically wear, I actually enjoyed the ride since the very soft sole works well with my stride. My main problem with the Peg 30 was that the forefoot was so soft that my feet tended to cave the medial midsol Nike Free 5.0 Bird Nest Women's e as I reached max pronation (this led to abrasion on the ball behind my big toe). I¡¯ve been running in various versions of the Nike Free since 2009, and they have consistently been among my favorites. With their moderately thin, super-flexible soles, and minimally structured uppers, the Frees are intended to provide a more minimal, barefoot-inspired ride. Nike described them as a training tool to be used on occasion to strengthen the feet and legs. I tend to use them more as a lightweight trainer for shorter to moderate distance runs Nike Air Max Thea Print . And for that purpose they have served me very well. |
