Supportive and comfortable | | Weaknesses:
I have found that the two recent versions are not as durable particularly the rubber on the rear of the heel. The black carbon rubber appears on inspection to be a good thickness however the centre of it seems to be paper thin and wears very quickly (3 weeks!) through to the colour leaving the thick outer edge. I am a heel striker but not that bad and weigh 12 stone. I am now with another brand of shoe and have had no heel wearing problems. | | Overall:
I have worn the Nike Structure for near twenty years so it may be me rather than the shoe. I feel that the Nike+ plug affects the performance/ride of the shoe and generally I feel that the quality of the materials used in the shoe has recently been poor. |

| | | Posted: 06/12/09 | | 'Better than the 10 and 11 versions.' | | Strengths:
They seem to fit better and the heel lasts longer. | | Weaknesses:
The forefoot seems to wear quicker. | | Overall:
Happier with these than with earlier Nike+ models.I felt Nike+ 'plug' may have affected shoe performance causing aches/injuries. Perhaps I have now changed my running style to suit the 'plug'. |

Updated: 30/11/07 | | 'VERY DISAPPOINTED' | | Strengths:
Sole materials seems more durable especially the heel.[Update 30/11/07] Probably a very good jogging shoe. Jogging speed being 9 minute miles for me. | | Weaknesses:
Everything I think. Too soft. No perception of good support. Forefoot seems non existant. Heavy. [Update 30/11/07] Not a shoe I would recommend if you are hoping to inject a bit more speed about 7 minute miles for me. | | Overall:
Air Structure used since early 1990s a great shoe. I have tried this shoe for 2/3 months and cannot run in them. I have reverted to my old Triax 9s that are past their best. I wondered if I had been sold wide fit in error (my feet were sore) but no. I wonder if the 'plug' affects the shoe's performance. Probably OK for jogging but not for running races'. Desperately looking for a new shoe![Update 30/11/07] Have had a bad calf pull in each leg two sprained ankles. Never had such injuries before. 12 stone mild pronator. Have missed races with these injuries sadly 2007 New York Marathon.
The leg that suffered most has the shoe with the 'plug'. I am certain the 'plug' affects how these shoes perform. |
