Nike Structure 26 review: what runners say
Fit
True to size with a balanced fit. Runners with a very wide forefoot may want to go up a half size. Double-mesh upper that molds after the first few miles.
Feel
Firm and stable ride, not particularly soft. ReactX delivers adequate energy return for easy runs; at faster paces the response feels unimpressive.
Durability
Estimated lifespan up to 800 km, lower for heavier runners. Hard rubber outsole with generous coverage; faster wear at the forefoot for pronounced forefoot strikers.
Best for
Daily trainer for moderate overpronators and heel strikers. Suited for easy runs, recovery, and long slow-distance efforts. Not for runners seeking responsiveness or a tempo shoe.
Weak points
Stiff and unversatile ride at faster paces, flagged across multiple sources. Breathability is average, not exceptional.
