I have primarily avoided buying Nike shoes for many years. My thought was that for the $100ish price, you are mostly paying for their marketing machine. I have stuck with Asics or Brooks.
After hearing good things about the Lunar line, when it was time for new shoes a few months ago, I was really torn between the Brooks Adrenaline 10 (If have used the 7 and 8 prior and liked them) and the Lunarglide. The Nike was wider in the toebox, but felt good. In the end, I bought the Brooks.
Two weeks ago, I was able to find a pair of Lunarglides on sale. Since I have been in the Adrenaline 10, I have been keeping an eye out for a deal on the Lunarglides and planned to rotate shoes.
The Nike feels great and I enjoy running in them. Decent stability for what I need, light and comfortable (I even set a 5k and 10k PR in our local 4th of July race).
But - They seem to be made poorly. The eyelets for the laces are crap compared to Brooks. The tongue is super thin and I feel the laces after about 6 miles. Granted, it has only been a few weeks, but I feel like these are going to break down faster.
Any thoughts / experiences?
