 Hi Nike Blazer Basse Pas Cher Pete. I¡¯m in Kinvara 2¡¯s right now (I stocked up!) and I like them so I was looking at the Kinvara 4 or 5¡¯s (I have narrow feet so a discounted 4 might still work for me). Anyways, two part question: How does the 4.0 Flyknit feel vs a Kinvara for sole flexibility when running? It looks like (cuz of the pods) it would be more flexible, which I think I might like. And 2nd, how would you compare/contrast the 4.0 Flyknit and the 3.0 v5? How would I pick one or the other from your experiences with them? Thanks!

Like the upper, the sole of the Free 4.0 Flyknit is super flexible and moves really well with the foot. The sole is typical of other Nike Free shoes in having individual pods separated by deep grooves to maximize flexibility. The drawback of the grooved sole is that the grooves do tend to collect rocks and pebbles, but this has never really bothered me in any of the Frees and they are easy enough to get out by taking the shoe off and flexing the sole around after a run.

Any idea how the arch support in these Nike Blazer Haute Femmes is? I¡¯m a high school middle-distance runner so generally my mileage is somewhere between 15-30 miles a week during track season. Most of the mileage comes from high-speed, low distance workouts (200m, 400m, 600m, etc) Anyway, right now I have the Nike Free 5.0+ and am considering these as my replacement shoes. I¡¯m guessing the arch support isn¡¯t great, given this is closer to a bare-foot shoe. If anyone who has high arches has tried these, I¡¯d love some feedback :)

So what do the authors themselves conclude? The final sentence of their paper states: ¡°Current conventions for assigning stability categories for women¡¯s running shoes do not appear appropriate based on the risk of experiencing pain when training for a half marathon.¡± More clearly, they conclude their abstract with the telling statement that ¡°The findings of this study suggest that our current approach of prescribing in-shoe pronation control systems on the basis of foot type is overly simplistic and potentially injurious.¡± Now wait a second. If this is true, then why does almost every shoe store on this planet classify shoes based on pronation control (i.e., neutral, stability, motion control, etc¡­), and place runners in shoes based on their arch height (more on arch height in another post to come soon) or degree of ¡°observed¡± pronation? This is bewildering stuff, and further strengthens my belief that maybe it¡¯s time for a change in how we choose or ¡°prescribe¡± our shoes.

I¡¯ve tried on both the Flyknit 3.0 and 4.0 and the 4.0s do indeed have a little wider toebox. Also, I think the snugger fit is intentional in the 3.0 because the Flyknit material acts more like a sock than a traditional shoe upper and has some stretch to it, but it is a different feeling for sure and one that not Nike Flyknit Lunar everyone will care for.

The truth is, the barefoot/minimal movement is exactly the same as the support shoe camp ¨C a group of people with an agenda, shoes or books to sell and a desire to get noticed.In all of this, the sportswear companies, first telling you to get cushioned, then telling you to go minimal, now saying that you should go maximal.If you believe the above nonsense more than the noise from the other camp, you have a screw loose ¨C every study I¡¯ve seen ha Nike Flyknit Max s pseudo-science at it¡¯s base, and interested parties in its funding.
