How it ranks
The Nike LunarGlide+ 4 trails most daily trainers in our data. Looks and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Value scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 26 runner reviews and 6 other rated shoes in the LunarGlide+ product line.
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.

“Able to run about 400 miles per pair”
“My most injury-free times were when I was running in this shoe”
“The stability is as advertised, it is present without being invasive at all”
