Good looking shoe. IMO it doesn’t provide much cushion for impact. Shoe isn’t very heavy but not light either. I do like the mesh style material which helps your feet breathe and stay cool. For the price I paid, I would get again but if you’re a serious runner, I would spend the extra money for a different shoe. If you’re just going for style and comfortability, this is a solid shoe.

Took my Air Zoom Structure 24s out for a run upon receiving. My initial thoughts once I laced them up is that they definitely have a nice plush upper with a great foot lockdown and a very cushioned midsole which is very balanced and durable; all that equates to the fact that these will definitely stand the test of time. My biggest criticism is that they feel super heavy on foot. They would absolutely be my last choice for speed work or harder effort tempo runs given that it felt really difficult when I attempted to pick up the pace, in fact, I felt like I was exerting too much effort during those short spurt intervals. They also do feel a bit lumpy on the forefoot which probably would not work for those who enjoy a more natural ride. All that being said, these are ... MoreTook my Air Zoom Structure 24s out for a run upon receiving.

All that being said, these are definitely a great choice for runners looking for a durable, everyday cruiser that they can bang out the miles in. Solid for recovery day runs in the mid to long distance range. When considering the entire Nike running lineup, I can't say that these would be my first choice but I definitely can understand why the Air Zoom Structure has been a staple in the Nike run arsenal for all these years!

These were not a shoe I would typically be attracted to, but after putting them on and wearing them, they could not be ignored.Let’s start with the fit. They were perfect to size. Comfortable all the way from heel to toe. They are very forgiving with a mesh upper, and that only adds to the comfort.The comfort level is also top notch. I spend a lot of time walking and running. These shoes are incredibly light, and the bottom of the shoe makes for a soft landing in every step.The performance of the shoes is also top notch. After using them continuously for a few weeks, they still look and feel brand new. The tread is still in perfect shape, and the mesh has no snares or snags that would make it look unattractive.If there’s any sort of con, it could be that if ... MoreThese were not a shoe I would typically be attracted to, but after putting them on and wearing them, they could not be ignored.Let’s start with the fit.

I would recommend these for sure, for anyone who runs or walks. They look and feel great and you will not be disappointed.

This has been my favorite running shoe after years of trying different brands and models. I have struggled with arch pain and Achilles tendinitis in the past and know the importance of investing in a quality running show. These shoes have an extremely comfortable, light yet stable feel to them. They also feel great while running and prevent pain post run that I’ve struggled with in the past with other shoes.Overall, these shoes fit well and are true to size, great mid sole arch support and are very durable. The material on the upper sole holds up well to daily use and looks great months after. I also really love the look of these and the more basic color options such as black or grey can be worn for casual outings with jeans or shorts.
Been looking for a everyday shoe that provides some stability. This is it. This version is better than previous ones l have used. The arch support is great and support is medium level. The ride is on the firm side but not overly, it has ground feel. It's not for daily training and picking up the pace shoe as it feels hard running fast. The zoom air in the forefoot is noticeable. It's average for breathability with good heel lock in. For support, everyday running, marathon training it works real well.
As a former collegiate runner turned casual, I have run in almost every major brand of running shoe. I have run in many Nike trainers, spikes and flats, and the Nike shoe I have most commonly run in (and still use) is the Nike Pegasus. Recently I have gotten more into weight lifting and crossfit workouts which definitely puts strain on my knees and has added weight to my frame where I currently sit around 5'11'' and 185 lbs. I have been looking for a shoe to rotate in with a little more support.I would say that the Nike Structures are a perfect shoe for anyone looking for something with a little more support than a traditional neutral trainer without feeling like you are transitioning to a much heavier shoe.

I have been looking for a shoe to rotate in with a little more support.I would say that the Nike Structures are a perfect shoe for anyone looking for something with a little more support than a traditional neutral trainer without feeling like you are transitioning to a much heavier shoe. From my experience in the Pegasus, the Structure has a very similar feel in the foot with more support. As someone with bigger feet I notice weight increases in my shoes and the Structure still feels like a light weight trainer. I have put close to 50 miles on the shoes and have already decided that I will be ordering another pair when the time comes. The shoes did not take long to break in, they felt very comfortable after my first run, and the sole still looks new even after several runs and workouts.In addition to running in the Nike Structures I have used them for several lifting and crossfit workouts where I definitely appreciate having some extra support in the shoe. I have noticed a significant decrease in the soreness I have in my knees since rotating these shoes into my workouts.The only thing I would change is the colorway I chose as this is not as sharp as the recent Nike Pegasus models but to be fair my pair is black and I did not look much at other colorways for this model.I have been pleasantly surprised how easy and comfortable it was to start running in these shoes, normally I have blisters or aches from breaking in new trainers. I highly recommend this as a supportive but still on the lighter side of running trainer, I will be using these for my easy/long runs and some tempo pace workouts. I think that they would serve well as a primary trainer/workout shoe or a recovery shoe for those who are doing faster efforts for running.
The Nike Air Zoom Structure 24 is a great shoe, whether it be for everyday casual wear, or for running as intended. When I first put them on, they were sort of tight, and I thought it was going to be another tight running shoe that hurts and gets uncomfortable really quick, but within a couple of minutes it felt like it was already adjusting the fit to my foot and was very comfortable and extremely lightweight. After a few minutes of wear, it honestly starts to feel like you're walking on clouds with how lightweight, springy and comfortable this shoe is. The design is very welcoming since it's a clean, sleek looking form with no over exaggerating design that some may find intimidating, which I am a fan of and I think many will appreciate.

When I first put them on, they were sort of tight, and I thought it was going to be another tight running shoe that hurts and gets uncomfortable really quick, but within a couple of minutes it felt like it was already adjusting the fit to my foot and was very comfortable and extremely lightweight. After a few minutes of wear, it honestly starts to feel like you're walking on clouds with how lightweight, springy and comfortable this shoe is. The design is very welcoming since it's a clean, sleek looking form with no over exaggerating design that some may find intimidating, which I am a fan of and I think many will appreciate. Since receiving the shoes, I've worked a couple 8 hour shifts, on my feet for about 7 of them, went for a jog, and have worn them while traveling in an electric kickscooter, which requires me to stand at all times on it. The midsole seems to be made up of some kind of foam which is very squishy, lightweight and bouncy which makes the shoe comfortable regardless of the activity, even after hours of wear at a time. The upper of the shoe also features a breathable mesh material so your foot can get some air during your wear and not leave you with moist feet after a run, which I really enjoyed. My favorite part of the Nike Air Zoom Structure 24 has to be the midsole. The foam used it both super comfortable and super springy which gives the shoe a great feeling, especially when running since it absorbs the shock. The only downside to this shoe is it isn't very water resistant. Whilst jogging I encountered a sprinkler on a mist setting which was fine, but soon after it started to drizzle, which wasn't as pleasant. From experience, anything harder than a light drizzle will leave your feet wet, so if I could change 1 thing, it'd be better waterproofing. Overall, the Nike Air Zoom Structure 24 is a great shoe, for both running, and everyday use. I can definitely see myself using these as my daily driver since they offer all day comfort regardless of what the plans for the day are.
The Zoom Structure 24 has been a pretty solid shoe and my go to for workouts and everyday use. Cushioning is pretty nice when it comes to the forefoot. It takes a while to break in both the zoom unit and foam carrier. But once it’s broken in, impact protection is very nice. Now the one drawback I do have about the cushioning is the heel. The foam is a little too soft for my liking and I have had my ankle roll after a heel strike. But overall the shoe does have solid cushioning as a whole. The traction is one of my favorite parts of the shoe. The nubs on the bottom of the shoe are hard and very durable. It will take a beating and show little wear. Perfect for hikers and trail runners.Support is normally attributed to how a shoe fits and how the base of the shoe is ... MoreThe Zoom Structure 24 has been a pretty solid shoe and my go to for workouts and everyday use.

It will take a beating and show little wear. Perfect for hikers and trail runners.Support is normally attributed to how a shoe fits and how the base of the shoe is built. Forefoot is wide enough to provide good support along with the great fit. But again, having a shoe with a soft heel like this one kinda hinders the support a little bit. All in all, I feel that this shoe is good enough for hiking, trail running or even the average person. I would suggest giving this shoe a try.
I’ve had these shoes for about a month now and have been using them 5-6 times a week as my workout shoe. First thing to note is the cushion is great all around for various types of exercise. I have been running on the treadmill, lifting weights, doing box jumps and doing basketball drills and the shoes offer ample cushion and support for all those activities. My favorite feature is the extra cushion that wraps around the ankle at the opening. It gives that added feeling of support and helps lock my heel down in the shoe.I look forward to getting out and running with these when the weather warms up in my neighborhood. We will see how they hold up with more outdoor use, but so far after 30+ hours of use inside my local gym they’ve proven to be quite durable.As far ... MoreI’ve had these shoes for about a month now and have been using them 5-6 times a week as my workout shoe.

Just a simple, well built, functional piece of kit.I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a solid all-around active shoe. Especially if you like to have a bit more cushion and comfort.
As soon as I received the product I noticed how light and narrow the shoe was which would help me when I’m running in the morning and when I casually wear them to work. After putting them on with some socks I felt like i was walking on clouds, something soft yet still had structure to protect my feet. I did have to adjust to the height of the shoe and the overall shape of it but I was able to adjust to the shoe in a few days without any problems. As for the fit of the shoe it was somewhat narrow which I made work but for someone who prefers more space a half size up would be great as well. It’s important to note that having a snug and perfect fit is needed when running. The overall feel of the shoe was great. The construction of it was outstanding.

It’s important to note that having a snug and perfect fit is needed when running. The overall feel of the shoe was great. The construction of it was outstanding. For example, the materials used to create the shoe were all to keep performance in mind. The breathable upper with a rubber bottom gives grip and breath ability for the feet. The design of the shoe is also good enough in order to wear casually to the gym, work, and all other sorts of trips. I found myself wearing it to work, gym, running, and walking around and they have little to no wear on them. I have yet to notice any rips or tears. With that being said the shoe was most definitely comfortable enough to wear all day. After running in the morning I would take the shoes to work as well. The best thing about the shoe was the style, durability, comfort, lightness, and performance that the shoe provides. I was able to wear a good looking shoe while keeping the performance on them. The comfort was incredible and it made it versatile to wear. One thing that I may change would be how tall the bottom of the shoe is. If it were a little bit lower to the ground or was a little bit less narrow it would’ve been perfect. For example, I found the heal to be a tad bit too tall but it wasn’t a problem. Overall, the shoe is durable and is another great product that nike has created.
