The Nike Air Zoom Structure 25 has a higher stack of softer, springier foam than any previous Structure. While the 24 was not technically classified as a stability shoe, it was very much in the same vein of a moderate cushion, stable, durable, versatile running shoe that the Structure line has always been. The 25 seems to be following the trend in the running shoe industry of more, softer, springier cushioning. It is more in the same category as the Saucony Tempus now (and probably also the ASICS Gel-Kayano and Brooks Glycerin GTS). It is still comfortable, stable, and fun to run in, and can soak up a lot of miles. With the added cushioning, softness, and weight, it is a less versatile shoe than the Structure has historically been. I don't think you would really want to use it for speedwork or racing, whereas previous versions have always handled those things fine, despite the weight. It really seems like the shoe companies are trying to force us all to diversify our shoe lineups, so that they can sell us more (and more expensive) shoes. Despite that complaint, the Structure 25 is still a great shoe and one that I imagine long-time fans of the series will still enjoy.
I just started running about 10 months ago and while I haven't run in a lot of different shoes, once I found this one I settled on it. It's extremely comfortable and gives great support. I continued to get blisters in my Pumas and I found out they were too wide. These Nikes are more narrow, and fit in much better way which resolved all my blister issues (paired with my Balega socks). They're a little stiff at first but break in great and all around I love them.
I picked up this shoe as a daily trainer and I'm about 400 miles into them. I'm addicted to stability shoes, so I thought I would pick up what Nike had to offer in the space. I was pleasantly surprised! These shoes are great as a stability alternative to the Pegasus, very responsive with the air pocket at the front of the shoe, and very structured. (haha) The only complaint I would have is that the air pocket at the front of the shoe caused my toes to curl around the pocket, which was sort of uncomfortable at the start, but I got used to it very quickly. Along with that, the pocket leveled out a little bit so that it felt much better. Overall, I would 100% recommend these shoes to anyone who is looking for a responsive, all-around shoe, good for speed & easy days, that needs stability.
Have been running in these for the last month plus and have been surprised by the lack of wear and also the traction in winter conditions.
