Today, when I’m not out racing, training, and testing gear, I’m an online running coach and founder of Run Your Personal Best.

Since then, I’ve tested and reviewed hundreds of running shoes (plus clothing and gear!) for Runner’s World, Outside Magazine, Muscle and Fitness, Footwear News, and other outlets.

My obsession with running shoes started in 2014 when I wrote my first shoe review. I’ve had at least one pair of Nike running shoes in my rotation since 1993, with my all-time mile, 3K, and 5K personal records set in the legendary Nike Zoom Kennedy Track Spike (which I still have today). Since then, I’ve been addicted to competitive running at every distance, from one mile to the marathon and trail racing. The Expert: My passion for running started over 25 years ago in my senior year of high school when I became the No.
NIKE RUN SWIFT 2 ON FEET FREE
I spoke in the design section about the materials and I don't want to repeat myself, so I'll briefly say, the materials used on the Free Run model are lightweight to enable a swifter transition and glide through from stride to stride. They are lightweight too, unlike long distance running shoes that may slow down your stride with being slightly heavier.

The Nike Free Run 5.0 has a rubber outsole, ideal for durability and flexibility, making movement on runs much easier.

It also gives you further flexibility and a better push-off with every step.Īn outsole will give you the stability you need to keep upright and be able to tackle the road with a good stride and good protection to the sole. The foam midsole is one of the most important factors of any running shoe as it provides comfort and bounce in every stride. Should you require a quick step change in direction, the Nike Free RN is going to aid you in your step. Grooves in footwear are key to help with the movement they provide to the foot the heel-to-toe grooves on the Run 5.0 are designed to allow multi-directional flexibility. Their design is perfect to aid you in small runs and ensure they are impactful in a positive way. The Nike Free Run 5.0 are made for performing. The stretchy mesh material is not only moveable but offers the foot air circulation and the option to have increased airflow, it will also stop the foot from feeling over-heated and the sweat becoming too much and impacting your run.Īsymmetrical lacing relieves pressure on your instep and is better placed on the side to offer more comfort to the foot on impact with the ground.
NIKE RUN SWIFT 2 ON FEET SKIN
Designed with synthetic suede materials for breathability and flexibility, the Nike Free Run 5.0, 2021 model, fit like a second layer of skin to the feet to ensure the swift movement of the foot, especially as smaller runs tend to be quicker runs than longer distances.
