Women's Nike LunaRacer+ 2

Comments about Womens Nike LunaRacer+ 2 Running Shoe:

I loved the original LunaRacer. I don't love these, the LunaRacer 2's. Don't get me wrong, they're a great shoe. I just don't love the supposed improvements put into place. First off the additional blown rubber on the sole makes the shoe have a noisier landing. They don't feel as pillow soft as the originals. My heel slips in these as chews up my heel. My heel got chewed up in the originals but not due to slippage. They also weigh an extra ounce over the originals. I also felt the added arch support immediately and didn't like it. A few things I do like...the toe box is roomier and the overlays are now all on the outside. I'm stocking up on the original for now and hoping the LunaRacer 3 isn't as disappointing.

I have been running in this shoe for over a year now. I really love it. It's light, comfortable, has great support for racing (half marathon was my longest race in these flats). I would highly recommend these.

I am a long distance runner who does a lot of 5-10k speed races for endurance. These shoes are great for fast races! Comfy right out of the box. I agree with RR to go up a half size given the narrow toe box. If you need stability I do not recommend these shoes for long distance runs.

These shoes are amazing for short or long runs. Great ultra minimal shoe. For those of you unfamiliar with minimal shoes, it is supposed to more closely mimic barefoot running, which helps strengthen your feet and lead to less injuries! I highly recommend these!

This is my second pair of Lunaracers. I have run multiple marathons in LRs and they have held up well. I have recommended them to several friends and they all love them. They are unbelievably light for the amount of cushioning they have.

I bought these for triathlons. Wish the tongue was longer, easy to lose it while trying to put them on quickly. Otherwise, great cushioning in a very light shoe.

Lightweight racer; perfect for shorter, timed events. Utilize this solely for actual races and use a heavier shoe for training. Wish Nike would make another lightweight Luna shoe for small build, underpronators/supination. Have tried several brands and nothing compares to Nike.

Perfect for racing and tempo runs. These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn in a long time. The metatarsal pain I had experienced with other stiffer shoes is gone now that I am wearing these for faster running. The only con is they do not last long, and are not good for long training runs.

Comments about Womens Nike LunaRacer+ 2 Running Shoe:

I love this shoe. It's extremely light and cushions everywhere I need it to. I run about 20-25 miles a week and they have held up very well so far. My feet used to tingle and fall asleep in my other running shoes. Not with these. The one problem I have noticed is the nike swirl on the inside of the shoe is coming off and I have only owned them for a month. As the other previous review stated, they are kind of flat so it makes a louder noise on the pavement or treadmill. Also glad I ordered 1/2 a size larger as they do tend to run a little small.

Great update and cool color! This shoe provides great responsive cushioning even though it is so lightweight!

Since Nike first came out with the original Lunar racer I have used it for nearly all of my runs...with that said, there were some major issues that I had with them and I was hoping that the new design would address them. At first when I tried them on, I was not sure, but after wearing the +2's on a run I am very impressed with the improvements. The toe box is not anywhere near as narrow and uncomfortable as the original racers, and Nike has also put in a heel notch and a little more padding to keep the shoe from chewing up the back of your ankle. The question of durability remains to be seen...I run 100+ miles a week and the old racers wore out very quickly, so hopefully I won't have to be buying another pair of these in 3 weeks!
