Nike Women's Air Zoom Percept Running Shoes

The big sister to the perennially popular Nike Pegasus, the Nike Air Zoom Percept running shoe includes all the support and comfort high mileage runners demand. It also includes design elements specifically targeting the unique needs of women's feet. The mesh upper includes Nike's innovative tree ring synthetic overlay, a women's specific design feature that stretches at the point of widest foot extension. This area of enhanced support is designed to curtail bunions, a common problem for women in this area of the foot. Additionally, the Nike Air Zoom Percept's upper includes elastic laces, tongue inserts, and memory foam around the heel to individualize the fit. Underfoot the ride is smooth and supportive. The cushioning is soft, a great match for small to medium frame runners and the support is ideal for female athletes with low to medium arches and mild over pronation. The first underfoot layer is a 2.5 mm layer of EVA Strobel, a proven midsole material that offers terrific immediate comfort. Thick Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot take the edge off the weeks of high mileage leading up to a marathon. Durable carbon rubber and Duralon outsole material in the Nike Air Zoom Percept women's road running shoe keep up with the mileage requirements of the dedicated runner. Plus, women's specific flex grooves within the outsole match the biomechanics of the woman's foot, enhancing push-off.

LOVE THIS SHOE!!!
This is the prefect show for me. No aches or pains. I love the support and cushion! I have neutral, narrow feet with a high arch. They fit me like a glove. I highly recommend these shoes.

Starting to gear up for a marathon
This shoe has been nothing but a god sent. It's wonderful for individuals with heal spurs and would still like to continue to run. The heal cushion is extremely comforting. Highly recommended.

least favorite nike shoe I've tried
I run in nike triax and pegasus, then decided to try the percept. It is okay for short runs but does not offer the support I need plus I have noticed more aches and pains after using these. I would not recommend this style of nikes instead try the pegasus or triax.
