Men's Nike LunaRacer+ 2

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ 2 Running Shoe:

Right out of the box, I ran a 7 miler and felt great the entire time in the Lunaracer+ 2. This shoe is extremely light and the materials feel like they're high quality. I can't say much about the durability as I've only used them on one run so far, but they're super light, very comfortable, and look pretty slick too.

The lunaracer is a pretty decent shoe. in my opinion its far from excellent. The shoe was comfortable right out of the box, but felt constricted in my toe area. I normally wear a 9 in running shoes but went a size up in these and they were still tight and somewhat short. so id say go a full size up. I either became used to the tightness or its stretched out, but its better now.

Th shoe performs great in tempos, and moderate in intervals, but lacks in long runs. My first long run in these was about 10 miles on pavement and after the 6th mile i could feel my feet and ankles starting to hurt. So for the non-efficient runner dont go past 6 miles on any surface(tried it on track also, complete dud in grass).

Later I began getting shin splints, i believe its because of the large heel forcing a heel strike, so i've switched to a midfoot/forefoot and im fine now. I tend rub my right pinky toe alot and it began to hurt and now its black.

I feel perfectly fine when in the 5.30 min mile range and on up to 7 min. A lively springy feel from this shoe kind of makes running fun. Great cushioning in midfoot less in forefoot.

Overall a decent shoe shoe despite its setbacks. But a wider toe box and smaller heel would be greatly appreciated.

(P.S.-i've gotten about 200 miles out of the shoe so far and it still feels and looks as lively as the first day i bought it.)

I love the updates to this shoe. I can't tell a weight difference when the shoe is on my feet and can barely tell the difference with the shoes side my side. However, the comfort is night and day. The tongue is a little more padded and there is just the right amount of extra support in the arch. The also added two rubber pieces to a place that was a high wear area for me. Great job Nike.

i really could not rate this shoe.the overall fit was to tight especially the toe area.recomend going one size up.

The Lunarracer 2 is a great update because it feels the same as the Lunarrace 1 with some minamal tweaks! The outsole is more durable as they added more carbon rubber. The overlay across the toe box was removed for a better fit.

Lunar racers are my everday shoe for the roads and trails. Ran the Hardrock 100 in them and had no foot issues. They are more durable than one would expect and have great cushioning. I really like the lack of the typical hunk of plastic in the back of the shoe. The lack of structure has really helped my Achilles issues. Only downside is the lack of traction on loose trails and snow.

These are tight little shoes.

I wear a size 9 street shoe and 9 1/2 running shoe. I had to return my online order for a size 10. I've never worn a size 10 before in my life.

Also the shoe lacks a rigid counter around the heel. I think the shoe would feel more stable if it had one.

The best superlightweight shoe that I have used. The shoe has a spongy feel when running. I have used for everything from 5k to marathon distance.

My son has worn the LunaRacer since they were introduced. He says this generation is more durable than the last generation which wore out quickly. He loves the flywire and the light weight. He uses them to run 5Ks.

I ran with these in the Boston marathon and they were perfect! I was a bit worried that they would give me the support for all the hills since they were so light, but it was no problem. My feet and legs honestly never felt so good after a marathon (plus I ran a personal best time). I love these, but think they may be best suited for those who are a little on the lighter side (i'm 5' 11" 160lbs) so make sure and test them before the big day!

I've raced in the original lunar racer since it came out and loved it. When I had to get the lunar racer 2 I wasn't immediately impressed. I kept them in the closet until my last pair of original lunar racers wore out. My first real run in the 2's was my first marathon. No problems at all and I qualified for Boston. I would recommend 1/2 size larger.

Best shoes ever, [...]

My son is 19 and so hard to please when it comes to shoes. He couldn't believe how lightweight and comfortable they feel. The color is limited or he would own several more. He has several pairs of Nike free which come in at 9 oz. these come in at 6 oz. He says it feels like running in your bare feet. If the color was other than(neon green/grey)they would be great with jeans.

This product was very good.

I have found the racing flat for me. Even though it is light weight, it cushions the landing for even my long runs. This is an all distance trainer for me. Although Nike tends to more aptly fit the flat-footed runner (which I am not), this particular shoe provides arch support in an ideal fashion. I wear this shoe as a work shoe with my scrubs after I have worn out its running value. I continue to buy this shoe over and over.

Great fast shoe. Very light yet also supportive. Just enough cushioning....

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ 2 Running Shoe:

I am 6'2'' and 180 lbs with flat feet. Been using these for Marine Corps Marathon prep and a few other races. Great comfort and light as can be. Used them for 16 miles recently and my feet were not sore the next day. Definitely take heed by "size 1/2 size up" as Nike tends to have their minimalist shoes run small. Converted from Brooks to Nike.

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ 2 Running Shoe:

This is now my standard marathon/half training and racing shoe. I had two pair of the original Lunaracer and am not on my second of the Lunaracer 2. The have a very resilient cushioning that is thin, soft at strike, but firm upon landing that is perfect for me (170 lbs). I also like the flexibility. They seem to last much longer than you would think for a racing flat, which helps. FWIW, I actually run with these on SoCal trails twice a week (hard pack) and they do just fine.

I have run two marathons in them and had no unusual problems (one black toe nail, non lost, typical for me).

My only complaint would be that I get some rubbing on my big toes (end and inside) even though I went a 1/2 up and my toe is not near the front of the shoe. The upper could use some tweaking compared to the Lunaracer 1, but overall a very good shoe.

Comments about Mens Nike LunaRacer+ 2 Running Shoe:

This is a great shoe. It is light weight with great cushioning. I was very surprised at how nice and cushiony this shoe is. I have a wide forefoot and this shoe accommodates my foot really well. Someone with a narrow foot might feel this shoe is a little baggy feeling, but it seem like the upper stretches to accommodate my feet. I have only run about 50 mile in this shoe, so I am interested in see how durable this shoe ends up being.

I use these for marathon training. I tried the (nearly)barefoot running thing and ended up with a stress fracture. I got these because i wanted something simple, lightweight, and with a little more cushioning. The only con is that they're wearing out a little quicker than normal. but, i do plan on replacing them because overall my legs/feet are happy with these shoes.
