Customer Reviews Nike Lunarglide+ 4

These shoes are great, but the shoe laces are too short. If you have a wider foot and lace them to the top, you will barely be able to tie the laces and double knotting them is not an option. This is the 2nd pair of Nikes I have purchased that come with shoe laces that aren't long enough to tie once the shoe is fully laced up.

Got these shoes last week, and went for a run in them right away. Shoes felt great. Heel really locks in. Great running shoe. Lightweight, comfortable.

This sneaker runs a 1/2 size small. If you are a 10, you need a 10.5 Overall, it is a good looking shoe. I am pretty annoyed with Nike's ability to change the sizes depending on the styles of their shoes. It makes buying sneakers online annoying and difficult. Luckily, Zappos has free returns. I will likely send back and get this in a larger size.

I gave Nike a try after using Brooks for the first time, which I fell in love with, but I like to see if there is something better. These shoes fit like the Zig-Techs, which for me is a bad thing; they are too narrow at the arch. I am not sure if it is the insole or just my feet, but these fit nothing like my Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12s. My right arch rubs against the insole and it is quite uncomfortable. It just does not sit right in the shoe. I would like to return them but since I wore them for a three mile run I may be stuck with them.

I am afraid that I do not share the glowing opinion many reviewers gave the Lunarglide+4. Yes, they are comfortable, fit well, provide decent support and are very light, but for me the cushioning in the Lunarglide+4 did not measure up. They may be adequate for walking or running on a treadmill, but not for logging high mileage on pavement. The Lunarlon foam cushioning system begins to break down and flatten out after just a few miles. The only thing I got from running in these shoes is a sore back, sore feet and pulled muscles. Not good. Why Nike abandoned their revolutionary air cushioning technology (the Air Max about the only exception), is beyond me. Okay, the air units add some weight but the payoff is greater energy return, a much softer ride and, most important, fewer injuries. After 30 years and thousands of miles, this 63 year old runner deserves a little pampering, but the Lunarglide +4 did not deliver.
