Are Nike Shox good running shoes?

I was wondering if Nike Shox are good running shoes. I have them now which i use on my spin bike, cross trainer and for weights, but are they any good for running in. I've ordered one of the ipod sport gizmo's which fit into the sole of the shoe of nike + trainers. I don't like the look of traditional running shoes like Asics

The main thing you need to do is go for a couple runs in your shox. Are they comfortable to you? Thats what really matters.

Here is what I think though:
It really depends on the model of shox. The are all so different. Most Shox are considered a "marquee shoe" (just for looks, I guess) The shox columns are clunky and don't promote a very smooth run. Some models, (like a pair I have) though are very good for running. These shox columns are much shorter than the traditional looking shox, making for a comfy run.

I have the Shox Swift :

Also, you need to consider how much you will be running. If you are racking up the miles you may want to consider a shoe that will keep up with you, one that won't wear out super fast. you can always use the nike+ gadget and just stick it on your other pair.

Hope that helps!

To make a good running shoe they have to be comfortable for you to wear, now whether they are Nike shoes, Acics or one of the other brands, make sure that they are good for you. You could try going to a specialist runningn shop for advice and fitting ofthe shoes. In the gym and on the treadmill then the support the shoe gives isnt as critical as if you are running outside.

As for what looks good... thats OK but if you damage your knee wearing the wrong ones then you wont be able to run at all.. so make sure you get ones that are good for your style of running - and again try a running shop and ignore their looks (and the name as well)

Now as for the Ipod thing... its just a gadget and you could get a pedometer a lot cheaper than paying for the special shoes, and the ipod and the ipod pedometer and the ipod watch strap display thing.... pedometer and cheaper mp3 player is much, much cheaper option

I sprained my ankle in my nike shox.
They are more like fashion sneakers than running sneakers.
I've worn Asics ever since : )
If you like the shox, just seriously consider the heel height and support, and just picture what would happen if you rolled your ankle in them. If you're still ok with them then by all means go ahead. It's your body...

Most people use them for anything but running.

First of all if you really care about running it doesn't matter what your shoes look like. The Nike Shox are definatly not a good running shoe. If you are going to do a lot of running I would get Asics Gel-Kayano. They are really comfortable.

hi!
ermm.. nooo nike shoxz are just for the latest style plus they're not comfy lol

have no idea

well i wear asics

no i dont know why my coach just told us not to run in them. i think it cause shin splints or something like that. but IDK
