I tried a pair on today and they seemed to have way too much play in the toe box. I was wondering if someone on here has put in a few runs with a pair, and could let me know how they feel, and if my fears regarding the lack of support in the toe area are warranted.
Thanks!
I am a wizard of the middle distances, and I say buy two pair. They are the best Nike spikes since the original ZOOMS took Coe to glory. BUY THEM NOW. Just lace them up really tight. Before you double knot them, run some good hard strides and then tighten them down again and then double knot. Oh, and run fast.
i ran my first run in them today and they were great. softest shoe i have ever run in. (usu run in ds trainer and now zoom elite). as for the toebox, it is very big, and it feels like a sock or slipper in the front, extremely comfortable. Although it isn't particularly "stable" you dont slip around in it because the socklike mesh is kind of like a spandex(reminds me of the old prestos)
the only thing i dont understand is the huge heel and the thickness of the front foot. I thought the idea of zoom air was to be thinner and more responsive. if a 1/4 to a half an inch was cut off the bottom of the shoe, it might be the best shoe i've ever run in...or well, if you put zoom air in the ds trainers, that would the best shoe ever.
