Unfortunately, the thick socks I was wearing did bunch up a little bit. I think if I had bought a larger or wider size (I didn’t see any E or wide sizes), it would have not felt as good. It was almost as if these shoes conformed to my feet almost perfectly. The initial snugness I felt had disappeared. It was a feeling unlike any shoe I had worn before. The soles seemed to propel me forward as I walked. The soles propelled me forwardĪfter I had both shoes on my feet, I took a few steps. I was thinking that maybe I should have bought a larger or wider size (10 M). A little snugĪs I slipped them on, I had to loosen the laces a little. Since I didn’t try my new shoes on at the store, you can imagine how anxious I was to see how they actually felt on my feet. However, as far as looks go, Nike’s Run Swift looks the best! Plus, I have other Nike sneakers, including the ultra-comfortable and durable Monarch Air. Most comfortable shoe I haveīecause I liked how the Nike Run Swifts looked so much, I didn’t even bother trying them on in the store. At that point, my only concern was how they’d feel on my feet. So, I cashed in some of my rewards at DSW and became a proud owner. The only reason I bought my Nike Run Swift shoes was because I loved how they looked on the shelf. My observations are unscientific, while being honest reflections of my experiences Other than my DSW rewards, I paid the normal retail price for these shoes. I received no gifts to compensate for my review. I think if you need a simple daily trainer or a value pair of sneakers for around town, the Run Swift 2 is worth a look.This is my Nike Run Swift Shoe review. It’s more comfortable, and a bit more high-end feeling than say the Quest 4 or the Downshifter 11, and I like the classic, refined style better as well. Once again, like many other Nike budget shoes, there are no reflective elements on the Run Swift 2, meaning you need to be extra careful should you be out running after dark.Īt $70 I think there’s actually good value in this shoe. The upper is plenty breathable with its wide-mesh construction and even though it has a thick 9.0mm padded tongue, the shoe didn’t feel hot on my feet. This shoe is comfortable on pavement and mild dirt running paths, which is a nice element for a do-it-all style of shoe like this. The outsole also features 2.2mm lugs giving it extra grip on varied terrain. The full-rubber outsole is generously thick at 4.4mm (average outsoles are just 3.5mm), and the rubber is firm at 88.5HC on the durometer (compared to an average of 80.5HC), meaning the shoe should wear slowly and have plenty of life. The shoe seems well built with plenty of welded overlays on the upper to keep debris out and act as an added layer of protection against abrasion. The Run Swift 2 isn’t all that swift… At 10.3 ounces (291g) it’s more of a clunker than a light and nimble shoe built for speed.Īgain, I see this as more of a performance sneaker than a true running shoe because of the weight here. The flex was affected just 3% compared to the average shoe being 35.3% stiffer at cold temps.
I actually think they look sweet and feel good enough to wear walking around in.Īnother positive is this shoe didn’t seem to stiffen up much in our freezer tests. Honestly, for me, it’s a bit dull and I wouldn’t want to run these for anything longer than a recreational jog, but where I so dig them is just as a town sneaker.
