Men's Nike LunaRacer+

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ Racing Shoe:

Just bought these and went from the store to the pavement for a 9 mile run. Shoes had great cushion and felt stable. My problem with this shoe is the toe box is small and both of my pinky toes now have some bad blisters. Would love to keep these but I'll be returning them. Not recommended for wide feet.

I cut off my right foot to gauge an accurate weighting and yes, it is light. Of course, it doesn't matter now that my right leg is gone.

These are the best shoes I've worn in 35 years of daily running and I mean for anything --easy mileage, tempo, and they are unbelievably good for treadmill mileage. Ironically, about the only thing I don't use them for is fast training and racing. I agree with others who think they are too soft/not responsive enough for fast running. But I did all my winter mileage (on a treadmill) in one pair and do about half my mileage outside (on soft dirt trails mind you) in them.

Cushioned and supportive for such a light shoe. Only beef is that toes feel cramped. The shoes tend to force my feet toward the front into the shoe when running. Good walking shoe.

5'7'' 145lbs. I used these shoes for speed workouts and races. At first I noticed that the cushioning in them seemed to slow me down a bit. The best way to explain it is to imagine the difference between running on a hard surface or running on pillows, the pillows would absorb too much and take away the drive from each of your steps. After about 50 miles, the shoes must have been broken in and felt fine to me. But then about mile 100, the cushioning must have broken down and the shoes really gave me knee and shin pain. Overall, just too much trouble for me, must not have fit me right.

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ Racing Shoe:

The cushioning is ok, but not as good as advertised. Despite its "Free-like" appearance, it lacks flexibility and road feel. I find that the ratio of heel to forefoot height tends to push my foot to the front of the shoe, jamming it a bit. Oddly, even though the forefoot outsole seems quite wide, the toe box feels confining to me, regarding both its width and height. The forefoot outsole, on the other hand, is almost too wide, making for a slightly unnatural gate, for me at least.
Overall, I think a lot of people may like this shoe, but for me it offers something of the worst of both worlds. Like a a heavier, more structured trainer, it lacks comfort, flexibility and road feel, but it lacks the support and cushioning such a trainer normally provides.
I LOVED the Terra T/C and the Triax T/C, but I find the Lunar to be nothing like those two unfortunately discontinued classics. (Nike loves to discontinue great shoes and replace them with mediocre ones.)
In conclusion, I don't

Great shoe for middle distance up to a half. Holds together great and amazingly comfortable. Trust me you do not want to wear it on a 30K especially on dirt roads. OUCH!

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ Racing Shoe:

I found these shoes to be very comfortable, but have a big problem with them. The cushioning in these shoes seem to absorb 15 seconds per mile out of my tempo runs. They did not work for my foot strike, and perceived efforts were much slower than usual. I prefer the firmer ride of the Nike Marathoner much more over these.

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ Racing Shoe:

This has been a great shoe. I've been running in them for about 5 months and they still feel like the day I took them out of the box. They're good for short, fast runs on tracks and for long, slow road runs. The fit was perfect for me too. Definitely a high quality shoe.

55 year old walker who started to run again because of this shoe. AWESOME! they took 10 years off of my arthritic feet. thanks!

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ Racing Shoe:

Have now run twice in this Lunaracer and I just cant get over how something so light could be so comfortable! I run at a moderate pace about 2 or 3 times per week roughly 4 to 6 miles and for this purpose the Lunaracer is terrific! Lightweight, cushiony, breathable and cool looking (to me anyway!) I was a saucony guy, then an Adistar racer guy, and most recently a Nike Free man. Now i'm a LunaRacer+ man through and through. Nicely done, Nike!

This shoe is amazing!!! The responsiveness is incredible considering the cushion this shoe has to offer. I highly recommend this shoe!

Just ran PF chang's Arizona Marathon in under 3hrs in these shoes and loved them. Barely sore toes after and the legs didnt feel too beat up. I have two more new pairs in the closet. I love them! Hard to find though.

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ Racing Shoe:

this shoe is so light, its narrow and fits like a glove. the cushion is unheard of in ratio to the weight. i totally recommend this one!!

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ Racing Shoe:

These are by far the best running shoes I've ever owned. Since I got them I've been running way more often because they made me love running again. They're super comfortable, super light weight, and they have nike+. They're great! I just wish I would have ordered 2 pairs because they ran out of my size again....

I ran my first race last weekend with these shoes. I love these shoes. They are feather-light, extremely comfortable, and feel fast. A competitor even complimented me on my performance.

This shoe is AMAZING! It's so light weight, so comfortable, and last's a very long time!

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ Racing Shoe:

Greatest racing shoe ever! Like other reviewers, it's unbelievably perfect cushioning allows me to train & race with zero discomfort (except for a tendency for my litle toes to get outside blisters unless I use body glide on them), at higher mileage than ever > much faster times & improvement! Thanks Nike and RRS!!!
