Nike Roshe Run are far from being good for running. They are the kind of running shoes that are not much worth the investment. Even though the price tag is quite pleasant, the shoes offer just some very basic running characteristics. And thus remained in my eyes as very casual “running” shoes. What forms these thoughts? I will outline what I found out after having it tested for more than 40 miles. So keep reading!
As the matter of fact the midsole is made of phylon, Nike Roshe Run is a very lightweight model. The midsole can be easily moulded and formed into different shapes and it is very flexible. That’s why the shoes feel so comfortable. They are soft, adjustable to your feet and thus providing lots of comfort for casual wear. The problem comes as soon as you decide to take it for sport activities, running respectively.
Nike Roshe Run offers just some sort of support. For longer distances, you will have to take some other shoe. In this shoe, you will start feeling the pain in your arches too soon to use it for running (I started having problems after just two or three miles mostly). The outsole is made of a rubber outsole, patented by Nike as Waffle. It provides good traction on a wet surface. I went running on grassy slopes when it was slightly raining and had no problem with slipping on the wet surface. Unfortunately, the quality of the shoe turned out to be pretty poor very soon. The outsoles got worn out and lost the pattern partially even though I ran in Nike Roshe Run just those 40 miles.
Therefore, I would use this shoe rather as an every-day shoefor walking around. It is fantastically breathable because of the mesh upper that is very thin. So that you can easily take it with or without socks no matter the weather outside. For these attributes, it is a nice shoe. I just wouldn’t recommend Nike Roshe Run for running itself. There are many better running shoes than this one.
