Where all of the Nike Free models are Nike Air Max 90 Womens sale uk similar is in the flexibility and feel of the sole. The Nike Free design works really well with my stride as I hate shoes that try to control my foot movement. The siping (grooves) in the sole allows my foot to contact and move into pronation very smoothly and I never feel like the shoe is controlling my movement.

Nike Pegasus 31 forefootOne of the things I like most about the Peg 31 is the upper. It¡¯s a thing of beauty ¨C Nike knows how to make a great-looking shoe, and this one is no exception. Might be one of the best looking shoes I have in my collection right now.

The forefoot is composed of engineered mesh that allows some stretch (see photo at left), which helps to improve the fit. Internally, the upper is lined by a bootie-like layer that is truly seamless from the midfoot forward. It¡¯s incredibly comfortable, and feels great without socks. The only problem I have had is some abrasion at the base of my big toenails on both sides ¨C I think this comes from some reinforcement of the upper over the big toe (I can¡¯t see it internally, but the material is slightly Nike Free 5.0 uk sale thicker in this area). Interestingly, I have only had this issue with the included insoles ¨C swapping them out for something thinner must create just enough space to reduce any rubbing that is occurring.

If you are already a minimalist runner and prefer shoes with minimal cushioning and as little heel as possible, the Free Run+ is probably not a great choice. However, I find it to be a good shoe for recovery runs and long runs, and nearly chose it as my shoe for my BQ marathon attempt a few weeks back (I opted for the Kinvara). I¡¯ve run long runs in them with little issue, and did a half marathon simulation in 1:35 during my last training cycle and they felt great. For an all-out, marathon length race I like a shoe to have a bit more cushion and don¡¯t mind a slight heel lift, so the Free Run+ fits the bill better than most shoes out there.

It¡¯s sometimes easy to forget that we are all at different in our thoughts about running shoes. Some of us prefer lots of cushioning, whereas other, like myself, prefer a more minimalist style. It¡¯s also easy to forget that those of us who have gone minimalist often started off in more typical cushioned trainers. It is for this reason that I was intrigued when my dailymile friend Greg Strosaker indicated that he was interested in writing a guest post detailing his thoughts on his own running shoe journey. He¡¯s very early on in his exploration of what I like to call ¡°less shoe,¡± and I suspect it won¡¯t be long before he winds up with a sleek, low-riding pair of racing flats ¨C not that he needs the help as he can already kick my butt in a marathon!

In terms of the ride, I find the Free 5.0 to be semi-firm with not a Nike Free 5.0 Men's Trainers Sale lot of rebound. It¡¯s a smooth shoe due to the extreme flexibility of the sole, but it is not the most responsive shoe on the market. It¡¯s not a shoe you would choose for your next 5K, and probably not the best choice for a marathon unless you have done extensive training in them. I prefer them for runs from about 3-10 miles. My max in the 5.0 2015 is a bit over eight miles in one run, and short of a few hot spots on the inside of m Nike Free 5.0 Women's cheap sale y heels (not sure what caused this) they worked just fine.
