Back to Results Nike Air Zoom Percept Manufacturer: Nike Price: $110 Reviewed in: Feb 2006 Shoe Guide Average Reader Rating: 4 stars (1 review) Shoe Type: Stability See Specifications We Say: The new Percept is one of the softest shoes in this guide--but we didn't place it in the neutral-cushioned category. Why? Because the outer edge of the heel is beveled to slow pronation at heel-strike. Nike also built up the midsole, added overlays to the upper, and placed a plastic bridge under the arch. The result of all this: great stability. Recommended for average-size women with normal arches. Wear-testers Say: "A comfortable shoe. I require a roomy toebox, and this shoe was nonconstricting while still being breathable." -Michelle Hill, 40, Allentown "I'm normally not a Nike fan, but this shoe was great. For me it only needed a bit more midfoot support." -Krystal Thelen, 22, East Lansing Average Reader Rating: 4 stars (1 review) Write a Review 4 stars Very soft, flexible, plenty of toe room. They feel as good during the last mile of my run as the first..
