Very happy with this shoe (2010-02-23)
My first pair of Nikes in many years. They used to be real narrow for my feet but they have fixed that. Plenty of space in the forefoot, while the heel fits snugly (in my last pair of New Balances the heel was too big and my heel would slide around while I ran). Cushiony but not as much as the New Balance shoe or the Saucony I bought before that, they are a faster shoe.
The shoes have reinforcement over the big toe area which is a big plus for me. The Saucony shoes wore out over the big toe real fast, I've always wondered why all manufacturers don't reinforce that area. With the New Balance I reinforced the area myself with some moleskin and glue on the inside of the shoe before I started running in them, but that is a pain in the neck. I'm glad Nike had the foresight to save me the trouble.
I think the shoes are worth the money and will probably buy them again when these wear out.
Totally pain-free running! (2009-10-24)
I will begin by saying that the right type of shoe for you is key. Running shoes are created for different feet, and what may be good for one, may be horrific for others. I recommend anyone have their foot examined by a shop that specializes in running gear. That said, these are the best I've tried, for my kind of foot. I've been running 40-50 miles per week for over ten years. The "stability" and "stability plus" shoes have been deemed my type by a reputable running shop in my area. I usually run in certain Brooks and Asics shoes, and have rotated throughout the years. My all time favorite to this point has been the Brooks Trance 6. But, since the Brooks line has been deemed "biodegradable", so have my knees. Subsequent models have declined (for me) in cushioning and "runability". Since I have been running, I have always had insignificant and nagging sporadic knee pains, that I told myself were "part of running". I now must say, that the Equalon 3 has changed my outlook. I have over 250 miles on these, and any and all pain has disappeared. These things are like magic! My speed and total distance has improved since acquiring these shoes. I always laughed at Nike, thinking they were the bogus choice of the "cool look" crowd, not to be taken seriously for running. This is no longer the case. They are now my favorite shoe. Get fitted by a competent running shop first. If a "stability" shoe is recommended, go straight for these. You won't be disappointed. Pay attention and give up on the "green" junk, Brooks. You have been defeated by a much superior product. And this is from a runner that has always laughed at Nike.
P.S. Buy these a little big.
Superb Shoe (2009-09-21)
I have run over 200 miles with no appreciable wear in the Equalon 3 (unlike the Asics GT 2140, which had lining wear after 50 miles).
These are a very comfortable shoe with good stability, and superb cushioning both in the heel and forefoot.
Highly recommended.
Best in confort (2009-09-03)
I had already a pair of Equalon... since those were already bad I decided to go for a ones. I have never feel such comfort in shoes...You feel like you are flying with the shoes. Good cushioning, nice colors, good ventilation and you have the Nike+ tech.
Highly recommended if you are a pronator
