On the treadmill, these shoes felt nimble and supportive, our tester said.
I also used them for some sprintsthis is where they felt PERFECT.
Overall, I love these shoes.
Best of all, this shoe has a pull-and-release toggle systemzero lacing up necessary.
A water-resistant membrane will also help keep you dry on rainy walks.
A waterproof upper and ankle gaiter lock out moisture, while deep lugs on the sole provide solid traction.
The exaggerated rocker bottom and Comfortgroove waves along the sole help you traverse bumpy terrain with ease.
I have to walk a lot and these shoes are really super comfy, wrote one Nike reviewer.
Plus, it has tons of fans beyond the SELF crew: I love the Invincible!
No other company has foam that is as comfortable, one Nike reviewer wrote.

My absolute favorite shoe.
Comfortable all day wear and great style to boot.
A mesh upper offers excellent breathability, while the grippy rubber outsole keeps you feeling secure.
Were also big fans of the bright, neutral, and metallic colorways.

Heres what else youll want to keep in mind as you shop.
If you prefer or need sneakers with a lot of support, look for a stability shoe.
These are the ones that have extra design features built in to increase arch support, notes Dr. Canzanese.
