See size guide. The LunarGlide 7 from Nike is a stability running shoe that is great for runners who want a combination of cushioning and stability. Grab this shoe if:. The Pressure Mapped Outsole design essentially encourages natural movement because it enhances the surface grip in areas where the foot commonly puts on weight. Basically, it accommodates how the runner actually traverses the ground. The efficacy of the gait is afforded by flex grooves.
These allow the foot to transition more freely from the heel to the toe, making sure that the toe-off is naturally enabled. The Lunarlon cushioning system uses a denser foam carrier that surrounds a softer and more responsive core. It basically makes the underfoot cushioning feel adequately responsive, while also keeping it consistent and long-lasting.
A dense midfoot unit gives support to the arch, stabilizing it and leading the foot towards a natural and more balanced stance when running. The Flyknit is a soft material that resembles woven cloth. It does away with the use of overlays, thus providing a seamless, sock-like fit to the wearer. The Dynamic Flywire system is a midfoot securing technology that utilizes stretchable cables. These cables are connected to the lacing system, so when the shoelaces are actually adjusted, they cause the cables to move accordingly as well.
An external TPU heel counter locks the rear of the foot in place and secures it. It is helpful in preventing any accidental shoe removal or wobbliness to the interior. It enables the runner to run confidently at night as it reflects light from any light source, making it visible. Jens Jakob is a fan of short distances with a 5K PR at minutes.

Great looking shoe, very well made, super comfortable upper, and a nice cushy sole the latter tends to work well for me. About halfway through the 5 mile run my left arch started to hurt.
It was a sharp, burning pain, and not something I have felt before. I wore them a bit casually, and then tried a thinner insole to create some additional space. The insole swap made them feel a lot better, so I decided to take them out for another run.
No problems. Went for a few more. All good. I tried again with the original insole and all was fine — they may have broken in a bit, or the arch pain was just a flukey thing on that one run. Last week I took them out for a 12 mile long run and had no issues — I now have enough miles on them to be comfortable writing up a review. First off, the Nike Lunarglide 5 is a great looking shoe. My pair are in gray and bright orange, and the combo works really well.
The upper consists of two layers of fabric separated by flywire bands that extend from the sole to the eyelets on each side the orange strings that can be seen in the images here. The outer layer is a stretchy, open mesh, the inner layer is a more tightly woven fabric.
The inner layer is stitched to the tongue on each side and has very few seams. It fits like a snug sock, and feels great against bare skin. At the back of the shoe there is a firm plastic cradle that wraps around the heel to provide support — I have not experienced any irritation from this.
The ankle collar is well padded and lined by a soft material. I have plenty of room in the forefoot and the stretchy upper in the forefoot is awesome , but the midfoot is quite snug. A swap to a thinner insole will help. The Lunarglide 5 is a soft shoe. And at 10mm drop per Running Warehouse — 28mm heel height, 18mm forefoot; 9. If you like a soft shoe with a lot of heel cushion, these would be a fine choice I find them somewhat similar to the adidas Energy Boost. The sole feels quite similar to the Nike Lunaracer , though the latter is a bit lower profile.
The Lunarglide has rubber in all major wear spots, and my pair is not showing any unusual or accelerated breakdown after about 30 miles on roads note — I do tend to catch rocks in the forefoot grooves, not a big deal though.
I like the soft feel, I love the upper, I love the look. The one big problem I have had with the Lunarglide 5 is abrasion and blistering along the inner ball of my right foot behind my big toe. I tend to pronate a bit more on my right side, and a soft midsole under the medial forefoot will cave as I reach max pronation. This can lead to excessive movement of foot relative to shoe in this area.
I have similar issues in the Nike Pegasus, and in some models of Nike Free. Also had issues with the original Skechers GoRun. The blistering issue is significant enough for me that these will likely not get much use from me for running after writing this review, but I want to clearly emphasize that this is likely an issue resulting from a bad match between my own form and the shoe.
I would recommend it as a solid lightweight trainer to people who like a snug midfoot fit, and who like a soft sole with a very cushy heel maybe those with a prominent heel strike.
The closest comparison I can come up with among shoes I have run in is the adidas Energy Boost , both in terms of fit and feel. If you like that shoe, the Lunarglide would be a decent alternative. Outside of the US they can be purchased at Wiggle. This post was authored by Peter Larson. If you'd like to learn a little bit more about who I am and what I do, click here , or visit petermlarson. Good looking form on the treadmill. Man, those are some smooth looking legs.
Are all you young people still into shaving yourselves? Longtime reader here, great website. Did you feel this at all on your runs? If anything, it exaggerated my pronation due to the soft medial forefoot evidenced by my blistering along the inner ball of my right foot. Even after a short run, hurts my feet arches …. Just a note on that heel cushioning: it can bottom out on heavier runners. I only use it for shorter runs. No arch troubles for me.
I had the same blistering problem you described with the Lunarglide 4. Except for this problem I really like the shoe but will not use them on runs over 3 miles. Interesting, I have found the same blistering issue when wearing some shoes.
Trends to be those with softer soles. I also find it only affects my right foot too. Shame as I love the shoe, so I need to find a way to protect my foot. Do you have any advice for taping my foot or blister creams to put on before my run?
