NIKE Men's Renew Ride 2 Running Shoe

Product Information

Just 20 mins into running, my feet go completely numb with these shoes (and not even with doing the same run with a nike tennis shoes, or a general adidas walking shoe).

This is why I often suggest Nike running shoes for people because they’re the most consistently spot-on with sizing. The Nike Renew Ride 2 doesn’t offer much in terms of correction for these issues and might end up feeling uncomfortable once you get into your runs. While the React foam in the Renew Ride is a great addition, there’s an overreliance on it which leads to little else in the shoe that’s catered to running. Weirdly, when running it doesn’t feel as bad as when you first put it on, but it’s still not a great sensation.The colorways on offer don’t fit in with what other companies (and Nike) are currently going for in running, which kind of confirms this.
