The highly padded tongue is attached to the inner sleeve so there is no tongue slide and the plush heel counter has a smooth inner lining. When I compressed the foam with my fingers, I expected a really firm foam with no give but it actually felt like the opposite- it felt really spongy. Those who need lateral stability shoe look for stability shoe with lateral guiderails or sidewalls, which are becoming far more popular.

For that reason, I would not classify this as a neutral shoe but instead as mild to lower end moderate stability. However, it is similar to other companies in that it is moving away from traditional methods like posts. The difference with shorter distance races (I’m classifying the half marathon as a shorter distance due to some of the ultramarathons that I have run, it’s all relative of course), as opposed to ultramarathons, is that it’s a distance that tempts so many people (myself included) to run extremely hard over the entire time it takes to finish.

The 23 felt much more cushioned and much more flexible; I liked the new direction that the Structure had gone in. This was the first question on my mind, so I was actively paying attention to this while running in the React Infinity Run, and also seeing how my legs and feet felt afterward.

It possesses all the long-distance comfort features that Vomero versions before the 14th version had, such as a plush, well-fitting upper, a super durable outsole and a soft midsole with deep cushioning. By using an engineered mesh as the main material, Nike was able to make the shoe breathable and durable.

There are also no longer reflective strips on the sides of the toe box like on the 23, but there are still reflective strips on the sides of the heel counter. To trash their very own stability shoe which has been around for 22 versions to hype up the new kid on the block seemed like madness. The outsole of the Structure 24 has hard, carbon rubber on its heel and softer blown rubber on its midfoot and forefoot. And The Nike React Infinity Run, which was designed to help reduce injuries, is the first step toward that north star. This mesh material lacks the rigid structure compared to many other stability shoes in which I have run.
