Latest Nike Shoes Review

Reviews of the latest Nike range of running shoes

Description : Nike Air Vomero+ 3
Foot Type : All (except xtreme flat footedness)
Retail Price : $215
Comment: I have clocked around 50km on this shoe and as with Vomero 2, the cushioning is superb; very bouncy. The main update in Vomero 3 lies at the outsole of the shoe. Previously the cushion on the forefoot and the heed is seperated; now they have it connected

which allows a better heel to toe transition during running. I will seriously recommend this shoe to heavy runner as well as those hitting long distance on tarmac or hilly terrain; the cushioning will help to absorb lots of impact for your knee.


Description : Nike Free Everyday
Foot Type : All
Retail Price : $169
Comment: I would like to first clarify, the name of the shoe does not imply it is free.
If you are a fan of Nike, you will know that Nike launch it's first Nike Free shoe around 2 years back. Nike Free is built to mimic bare foot running which apparently helps to improve running performance. If you ask me how and why, my opinion is, when you are wearing a normal running shoe, generally you will strike at the lateral side of your heel then transit to your fore foot before propulsion. However, when running bare footed, the striking point is shifted more towards the centre of your heel; therefore bare foot running helps to strengthen other parts of your leg muscles which you seldom used when wearing shoes which aids in performance.
Anyhow, back to the shoe, I feel that Nike Free Everyday is a superior update from it's predecessor. It offers much more support and stability and I am using it as a lightweight trainer to do my recovery runs as well as tempo runs. Highly recommended to those who wishes to start bare foot running.
