How it ranks
The Nike Air Zoom Structure 20 trails most daily trainers in our data. Looks and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. Comfort scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 9 runner reviews and 6 other rated shoes in the Air Zoom Structure product line. Another 3 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Bottom-tier
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
80/100

“This shoe feels like it is digging into my feet and is almost unbearable after about 3 miles.”
“I put upwards of 600 miles in them and they still felt very comfortable and supportive.”

“The upper hasn't torn or worn out after 300+ miles.”
“The upper held up well and maintained a satisfying lock down.”
“Ran in for a good 700 miles before replacing them.”

Pros
- Four reviewers report 600 miles or more from a pair, one of them 700.
- Two reviewers describe a firm ride with a responsive forefoot.
Cons
- Averaging 10.3 oz across the men's and women's builds, it is heavier than the 8.9 oz median for daily trainers on sale, and one reviewer says weight could come out of it without costing anything.
- One reviewer finds it digs into their arches and is close to unbearable past three miles, and another wants a more comfortable upper.
- Comfort and value both average 4.0 out of 5 across nine reviews.
