Excuse me if you can somehow see the drool pooled on my keyboard as I look over at my brand new Women’s Nike Free Everyday +2 shoes.
Running shoes tend to inspire a pavlovian-style response in me. It’s something you’ll just have to get used to.
For the uninitiated, Nike Free shoes are a neutral shoe designed to offer various levels of support (depending on the model) while simulating running barefoot (the extent of which, again, is based on the model). Since I overpronate (roll inwards) and have overly flexible ligaments, I can’t use them on long runs even though these shoes are the most supportive of the Nike Free range. But I can use them on shorter runs with orthotics and for general walking around and looking cool. Because boy oh boy they are pretty.
Once I’ve used them a bit (more) I’ll post a full review.
Enjoy the shoe porn!
And Part Two of the race report is coming… If anyone is hanging out for it, that is.
P.S. Nobody is paying me to promote these shoes. Unfortunately.

Just get some Vibram Five Fingers and go as close to barefoot as possible.

Aren’t those things so odd looking! I have a running friend here who does some short runs in them. I don’t think my feet would cope. The closest I’ll ever get to that is wearing my injinji socks inside the frees!

maybe you’d be paid to promote them if you were wearing them… I mean at the moment I could have taken those photos… where’s the proof they should pay you!
