What runners say
“The heel of the shoe is starting to break apart from the shoe and the midsole is tearing off from it”
“You'll fly through the rubber on the outsole and wind up running on exposed react by about 300 miles”
“The Turbo is butter soft, and your legs will love you grinding out those 20 mile long runs”
“The ZoomX foam is soft when you need it to be but can be very responsive as you turn up the tempo”
“Light. Cushioned. Responsive. Stay put on your foot.”
“The stripe going down the middle rubs against your foot, which can cause pain”
“The react/zoomx combination provides a responsive and well-cushioned ride like none other on the market”
“The cushion is soft at easy pace then becomes super springy at speed”
“The foam feels great; soft when slow, responsive when faster”
“The midsole is already showing a lot of compression at 80 miles”
“The shoe is unresponsive and feels rather ploddy”
“The 10.5 is slightly too big, and the 10.0 is slightly too small”
“A dab of Shoe Goo in the high wear spots allows 400-500 miles before these need to be replaced”
“About 450-500km I was already starting to feel the shoe go slightly flat especially under the forefoot”
“Longer than anything else I own, wider toe box than everything I own and generally an overall lack of lockdown”
“They feel very dead compared to Reacts, I feel they don't provide any bounce”
“It is extremely comfortable without feeling heavy”
“Wore out after ~400 miles of running”
“Instantly noticed the superiority of the Zoomx cushioning over every other Nike midsole I've run in”
“A light shoe that makes even an old dude like me feel springy”
“I've been able to run farther and faster in these shoes with no injuries so far”
“Can get about 300-350 miles out of them”
“They felt slightly unresponsive but I ran faster times wearing them”
“Peg Turbo has a more accommodating forefoot”
“You can definitely tell where the foams are combined together with the line that separates the foam”
