Nike Shox Ride 2

I genuinely wanted to like these, and I do...to an extent. I had shox WAY back when they first came out and loved them. And it may just be me, but I have to admit that whilst the pad and heel of my foot are supported, I feel like my arch has zero support in these. I wore them out for a few hours and by the time I got home my foot was sore. That being said, they are fine for wearing to a post-yoga coffee and a quick jaunt to walk the pups, they are great. I love the solid sole, I like the aesthetics, and I even like the extra boost of height it gives me for reaching the top shelf at the grocery store, so I will definitely continue to wear them. However, for me, it doesn't bring enough arch support for me to last a cardio workout, rowing session, or tennis in these.

I have been wearing the Nike Shox Ride 2 for a little over 2 weeks now, and must say that I have had a positive experience with this shoe. Let me start with my reaction of holding these shoes fresh out of the signature Red Nike box. The all Black color-way made this shoe easy to love; the uniform color made me pay attention to the design of the shoe first and foremost. I could definitely tell that the Nike Shox Ride 2 look was a derivative of the classic design of the Airmax models of the 2000’s. I am a big fan of the red sideways “N” Logo, which looks to symbolize the shoe technology. They look great, and have a durable athletic look, but with a stylish finish. Next, I would like to talk about the actual feel, fit,, performance, and comfort-ability of the Nike Shox Ride 2. I must say that they feel great in hand, and feels like a near premium shoe. The fit on the other hand did not feel so great, and is my only complaint of the shoe. The shoe fits a little too tight, and although the cushion at front of the shoe does help alleviate the pain of tightness on the big toe, it still makes the shoe less comfortable than what it could or should be. I would recommend for customers to go half a size up to compensate for this issue. Even still, I had a good experience wearing the Shox Ride 2’s outside, and they were great for standing, walking and jogging. I stood in these shoes for 8 hours straight and had no pain in the middle or back of my feet. These shoes definitely help distribute the weight that you put on your feet. In Conclusion, these are and will be a great pickup for anyone who is looking for walking or running shoes, once and if they get the right size for comfort. They look and feel good, while also having great performance. The Nike Shox Ride 2 is definitely a shoe that I will keep my eye on in the future, especially regarding other Uniform color-ways.

I love the design of my Nike Shox, however if your feet run on the wider side you may want to size up. The shoe itself is stylish, allowing you to dress it up or down. The material is nice and overall the shoes are a good choice. My only complaint is the width.
