Back to Results Nike Shox Junga Manufacturer: Nike Price: $110 Reviewed in: Dec 2006 Shoe Guide Runner's World Awards: Best Debut Shoe Type: Trail See Specifications Runner's World Awards: Best Debut We say: In the Junga, the Shox's columns and independent forefoot pods allow the shoe to react to and absorb different trail obstacles (similar to a car's suspension). This construction also makes the shoe very flexible, as confirmed by RW Shoe Lab tests, despite a protective fabric plate between the pods and the midsole. The upper is made with a breathable mesh, while flexible bands connect the laces to the midsole for a snug arch fit. Recommended for runners with normal to high arches who frequently run on rocky, uneven trails. Wear-tester says: "Extremely comfortable, but they had less support than other trail shoes I've worn."--David Knesek, 25, East Lansing Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Trail Sizes: 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10 Midsole Characteristics: Protective fabric plate Weight: 11 oz.
