Nike Air Force 1 Chaussures The Lunarglide 5 is a soft shoe. I¡¯m a mild heel striker, but when I force a harder heel strike the softness of the heel becomes very apparent. And at 10mm drop (per Running Warehouse ¨C 28mm heel height, 18mm forefoot; 9.6 oz in size 9), there is more sole underfoot than I typically need for my stride. If you like a soft shoe with a lot of heel cushion, these would be a fine choice (I find them somewhat similar to the adidas Energy Boost). The sole feels quite similar to the Nike Lunaracer, though the latter is a bit lower profile. Pair the Lunaracer sole with the Lunarglide upper and forefoot fit and you¡¯d have one awesome shoe!

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).

5. Here¡¯s my biggest observation ¨C when I run roads in the Cliftons I feel like I¡¯m working a lot harder Nike Air Huarache Outlet than I should be at my easy pace. I think this is where the fact that I tend to be adapted to more minimal footwear comes into play, as I felt the same way about running in the Skechers GoRun Ultra (probably the most comparable shoe to the Clifton that I have used for more than a few runs). The Cliftons feel really soft in the midfoot and heel, and this seems to take some of the pop out of my stride. Conversely, on one run when I picked up the pace a bit they felt better, perhaps because I was more up on the front of the shoe. I¡¯m wondering if this would change if I gave them more time, but my body seems to like firmer, more responsive footwear. The question for me is whether that¡¯s because those are the shoes I¡¯m used to, or if there is something inherent to my stride that makes me prefer a lower profile shoe. I¡¯d love to see a study look at oxygen consumption in runners with various footwear backgrounds in their typical shoes versus in a super soft shoe like the Clifton.

Thanks Paula ¨C yes, for once I didn¡¯t feel like the goal was a profit (not to say that the Mizuno Wave Riders are cheap), though I really didn¡¯t even know the price until checkout, so in a way we were both focused on getting the right solution. At least, I hope!

Thanks for this review of the Nike Free 5.0 ¨C I ran for a while in the Nike Free 3.0 because I¡¯d had the same problem with the flyknit options digging into the top of my foot and causing pain. They discontinued the Free 3.0, and I have been trying to decide if I¡¯ll get the 5.0 or not. I¡¯d used them for all my running, including half marathon training and the race, and now I¡¯m realizing that I should probably splurge on a pair and save them for track repeats. When I switched from my Free 3.0s into a pair of Brooks PureCadence, I enjoyed the additional cushion on my long runs (much to my chagrin after reading Born to Run). Perhaps I should actually convert to someone who has more than one pair of runnin Nike Air Max 90 Pas Cher g shoes going at a time. Thanks for the review, and for addressing the fit issue and saying it doesn¡¯t dig on the top!

I¡¯ve found the the fit of the Lunarglide 5 to be different than a lot of other Nike¡¯s I¡¯ve tried. I have plenty of room in the forefoot (and the stretchy upper in the forefoot is awesome), but the midfoot is quite snug. This has improved a bit as the shoes have broken in, but it¡¯s something to be wary of if you have Nike Free 5.0 Pas Cher a high-volume foot. A swap to a thinner insole will help.
