Clunky compared to prior models

Anonymous runner · Jan 2, 2020

4/5

Overall

I have run in Nike Structures since the 90s, relying on them largely for base mileage while using lighter/faster shoes for workouts and racing. I have flat feet that pronate in mildly as well. I found this version to be much slower to break in and much clunkier than prior models. I never felt like I could truly move quickly in this version. Not enough to make me drop the shoe entirely, but to use it more sparingly for long slow distance.

The Best Nike Running Shoe

Anonymous runner · Dec 31, 2019

4/5

Overall

The Nike Structure has long been one of the better running and support shoes that Nike created. The structure had a lull and a slight change in the 18-19 with a different back that would rub the heel. It was also less comfortable. The 21 and 22 models have gone back to the basics and are sleek, good looking and supportive. For larger heavier runners or over pronators this shoe is a perfect fit. I have worn every Nike shoe they have made for training and this one is always my go to. From the first time you put this shoe on, you never get blisters or lose circulation. Stick with the Nike Structure Triax and you'll find success and less injuries in your training. The price point is about average for modern day running shoes but when they go on sale under $90 is the best value. $120 for this shoe is a little much.

Love it have worn it for 6 years

Anonymous runner · Jul 23, 2019

5/5

Overall

I've worn the Structure since it was the 14 back when I was in high school. Through every iteration since, I have liked the shoe. I pronate so I need the stability and it is one of the few shoes that I've never been injured in. Seems to hold up to 350-400 miles without issue for me. Don't know what I'm gonna do if the rumors about Nike discontinuing this shoe are true.
