The bars show roughly how much each source contributes to this shoe’s rating. Their influence depends on how many reviews we’ve collected, how many earlier versions are in the product line, and the external ratings available.
“I usually wear 9.5 but had to go a half size up. These shoes run 1/4 size small.”
“Anything faster than a steady-state or light tempo run feels awkward because of the large heel stack and lack of stiffness in the forefoot.”
“Light enough to log miles around 6 minute pace but durable enough to run 20+ miles without foot pain.”
“I ran about 420 miles in the Structures before they started to feel any different than when I bought them.”
“The structures are a little hard and the back comes up too far, sometimes rubbing the achilles raw.”
“They are extremely durable; I ran one pair for 500 miles and they didn't seem to have broken down fully.”
“My shoes are pretty much flat on the forefoot and there are multiple tears on the upper.”
“It seems as though Nike has gone to a more flashy, fashiony stability shoe and some of the stability has gone away.”
“Got a bad blister on my achilles from the heel of the shoe.”
“Every time I do workouts on the track or road I get a burning on my left outer foot.”
“Sole outer wears very quickly.”
“I get about 450 miles in each pair before they are too flat and thin.”
“I found that I got more mileage out of the structures than with any other shoe I had run in prior.”
“I get about 6-8 weeks out of a pair.”
“The first shoe I've ran in without inserts in 4 years since having custom inserts for very flat arches.”
“I use the narrow fit Structures for a very narrow foot. The shoes are very comfortable for a whole range of runs.”
“I have had some nagging runner's knee issues, which were not apparent in the Ravenna.”
“It's a fine shoe, but not lively or responsive.”
“Gives me pretty solid support for recovering from bunion surgery.”
“The shoes work well for lots of mileage and don't break down too quickly.”
“Fits my narrow foot well and has plenty of laces for adjustment.”
“It is a very durable shoe and good for faster running at 6 min pace for longer runs.”
