FAQs
What type of runner is this shoe best for?
These shoes are ideal for female runners seeking maximum cushioning and a responsive feel, particularly for road running, daily training, and longer distances like marathons.
How do the different foams in the midsole work together?
ZoomX foam sits closest to your foot for a light, responsive feel. The full-length Air Zoom unit adds a propulsive bounce. ReactX foam in the heel provides soft cushioning for impact absorption.
Is this shoe suitable for someone new to running?
Yes, the ample cushioning can be beneficial for new runners by providing comfort and protection. However, the higher stack height might require an adjustment period.
How does the ReactX foam compare to previous Nike React foam?
ReactX foam is designed to be 13% more responsive than previous versions of Nike React technology, offering a better energy return.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The approximate weight is 275 grams (9.7 oz) for a Women's US size 8.
Can I use these for cross-training or gym workouts?
While they offer good cushioning, their primary design is for running. For cross-training, shoes with more lateral stability might be more suitable.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 10 mm.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
This is common with new, highly cushioned shoes. Wear them for shorter runs or walks to gradually break them in. The foams will soften with use.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing them with different textured laces that offer better grip if the issue persists.
Traction feels poor on wet surfaces
While the waffle outsole provides good grip, extreme wet conditions can challenge any tread. Run with caution and consider trainers with deeper treads if this is a frequent concern.
Upper feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. For tightness, loosen the laces, especially around the ankle. For looseness, tighten the laces more firmly, ensuring not to cut off circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. The lacing system allows for adjustable tightness across the midfoot.
Compatibility: Designed for road running and general fitness training. Compatible with most running socks. The neutral design makes them suitable for runners with neutral pronation.
Care: To maintain the integrity and appearance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for minor dirt. For deeper cleaning, remove laces and insoles, then hand wash the shoes with cold water and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or submerging.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. Rotating your shoes with another pair can also extend their lifespan.
