Pros

Two reviewers moved to it from the Nike Pegasus, and one says it controls their severe pronation.
It lists at $120, below the $150 median for daily trainers on sale.
One reviewer has worn it for five years with no complaints.

Cons

Two reviewers find the cushioning and grip break down early, one of them inside 300 miles, though another calls the durability excellent after ten months.
Averaging 10.1 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is much heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers on sale.
One reviewer with high arches says it helps their plantar fasciitis but brings on knee pain.

Mixed experience

4/5

Overall

I am F/145lbs with high arches and PF The structure 19 has been a mixed bag. It does not have too much cushion and is light enough for runs. It has been my go to shoe for PF which I have been suffering from for the past few months. Seriously heloed with PF however it does cause knee pain as I do overpronate in my right foot. Durability is excellent and this shoe is in good condition even after 10 months or so. I would recommend it for those suffering from PF but the knee pain is what would make me hesitate for those with high arches or who overpronate.

Great Cushion, Not Extremely Durable

4/5

Overall

My knee was hurting in Pegasus, so I moved to structure for more cushion and structure (ha). They've really helped the knee issue. My only complaint is that the grip and the cushion seems to break down a bit faster than other shoes that I've worn.

The Need for Pronation Control

5/5

Overall

I wear the Nike Structures for their ability to control my severe pronation issues. They generally do the trick, but as with many Nike products, they have a durability problem and seem to break down pretty easily within the first 300 miles.
