First test run in these shoes today - 1:15, dirt trails, steep up and downs, mildly technical sections, and about 400 yards of asphalt. I'm very stoked with these shoes. Neutral, high arch, 95% trails, wide toe area, 155lbs, run every other day. The shoe is simple and fairly light. No seem issues inside the shoe. No odd straps across the toes. The shoe has very good arch support - I didn't need my Sole inserts. The toe box is wide. The heel fits nicely, but not ultra clamp tight. When the shoe is too snug in the heel, the back of my heel hurts. Unlike the Lunarglide, I don't perceive anything trying to control pronation. Cushioning isn't Vomero like, but comparable to the Lunarglide - maybe a tad less. The heel feels a tad bit higher. Nice grippy tread. No pronation or underpronation wobble on the trail. The laces are kind of lame as well as the flouro green color. Overall, I think I have finally found a shoe I can stick with until Nike "tweaks" it. I like this shoe a lot.

The Nike Run Avant+ is a great shoe! I bought these for my son and he says that they are well-cushioned while still being lightweight. Fit runs true to size. He now owns two pairs of these comfortable shoes and recommends them highly.

The Nike Run Avant+ is a minimalist type shoe in the Bowerman mold. Saying that, I was surprised by the cushioning and comfort of the sole. Very light, with little support, this shoe is either for the smaller runner who does some work on smooth trails, or the person who likes a comfortable athletic shoe to go with jeans during the weekend. I bought the black on black model, which has an understated style to go with its minimalist structure. I would get these again.

Excellent shoe. I run outside and on treadmill and the Avant has held up exceptionally well. Less expensive than the Glide by Nike, but just as nice.

Shoes fit right, are light and comfortable. Zappos is the only place I buy shoes at. Customer service is the best.
