NIKE LUNARACER+

I'm no speedster and run just sub-5 min KMs and 3:30 marathon pb. However, despite the protestations of the store owner that these shoes were for short distances, I bought the Lunaracer+ to train for and run a marathon and found it's light frame yet surprising support made the large amounts of training needed almost effortless (as effortless as possible). After running about 400 miles in these (without socks and no blisters) I decided to put them to rest and purchased a new pair of Nike's LunarGlide 3, based on the recommendation they had better cushioning and were better suited to long distances. The alternative 'LunarGlides' feel like lead weights in comparison and after only 50 miles or so I have swapped back to my old Lunaracer's, which even after 400 miles have more spring and much more speed - they really are so light you barely notice them, but get surprising amours of evenly distributed cushioning with every step. A fantastic shoe - and don't be put off using it for longer distances.

buona scarpa per il lavoro indoor (palestra, tapis roulant) si comporta bene anche all'esterno, immediata sensazione di comodità. colore top!!!

When I first bought these trainers, I was struck by their aesthetic appeal and for being very light. However, as many reviews have commented about, the shoes are far too narrow and I suggest that you purchase one size larger. Another problem I've noted is the lack of cushion at the heal causes frequent friction burns and cuts, no matter what adjustments I make. Good sneakers, but not great.

I have really enjoyed doing marathons in the Jalsaris and LunarRacer2 and then I saw this new LunarRacer. In my opinion theJalsaris (similar to older Zoom technology) was great, but there was too little toebox support but had great feel. The LunarRacer2 was perfect in everyway, toespring, and good support over the top foot thanks to the 'flywire' technology, light, fast and well cushioned. I used to get some blisters after 15 miles+ with the LunarRacer2 in my foot arch, but after 2 runs my skin would harden up. I still get these blisters in my arch from the LunarRacer+ but not as bad, and again after the shoes are broken in the skin on my feet is slightly thicker in the arch region. Also in this new LunarRacer+ Nike have introduced the 'flywire' support around the heel area and some tailored stiching above the inside of the heel. This didn't need to be done, and as a result I am getting very bad blisters on my heels where I never had them before as the heel is too rigid now. Blisters on the heels are killers and not like the ones in the arch, where you can build thicker skin to resist them. These blisters from the new LunarRacer+ on the heels leave you incapacitated for a day or two. I am running with Compeeds strapped to my heels. I am going to buy another pair of LunarRacer 2s. They were perfect!! The cushioning of these shoes and the original LunarRacers is perfect for long distance or short distance even on hardcore or off-road. Its just a shame I need blister plasters on my heels with this new LunarRacer+ by Nike changing the heel design, the shoe has been damaged in my opinion. Nike when are we going to get the option to bling the LunarRacers as part of the NikeID outfit?

Very light and very comfortable and performed well on a 5k run. My only issue was that I heard a squeak after a few days wear from the left shoe. It was down to the pocket used to house the Nike+ Sensor. Ended up taking out a bit of plastic to make it go away. Not impressed to have to do this to an expensive new trainer.
