NIKE Air Zoom Hot Shot+ Women’s Running Shoe

A Parabolist Encompassing Shoe Review

After rewarding myself with lots o’ fun Apple gear for a race I have yet to run, my new running shoe budget had dwindled…considerably. Quite a few of you have referred me to kitschy little running boutiques of which I was waiting for the perfect moment to buy the perfect new pair of shoes from. But alas, I am also on a time budget. Needless to say, I ended up at the Sports Authority about a mile from my house.

The only people to offer up advice in the shoe department were my 7 and 5 year old…obviously I was alone on this one. With hundreds of shoes in night-vision hues I almost slipped into one of those head-swirling dry-mouthed seizures of confusion. FYI, I have a phobia of stores that offer too much, i.e. Walmart, Mervyns, Costco, and the like. All of a sudden, there they were, their plastic sheathed info tag beaming a red sale slash just at eye level in one solid color, the Nike Air Zoom Hot Shot+ women’s running shoe.

 Features that resulted in an immediate purchase:

ON SALE
No traditional laces
Elastic Laced Toggles
Mesh body (nothing I hate more than stinky shoes!)
Lightweight
Cushion where it matters
Nike+ iPod ped thingy built in hole
Solid color

Did I forget to mention, 9 out of 10 shoes I buy get busy blistering me within the first day? I blame my insanely pointy metatarsals! So, everything pretty and convenient about this shoe can be forgotten in the face of comfort ability. Literally, the MOST habitable shoe I have ever worn.

Picked up some Nike Performance Dri-FIT no-show wicking socks for $12 (for which I cannot seem to find on the internet, but they are freakin fantastic) on the way out. The last thing you would ever catch me doing is buying socks, so this was a momentous occasion. Socks are like canned spinach..all limp and stinky. I am pleased to say these Nike wicking socks neither fall nor smell!! WooHoo!
