Nike Structure 26 review: what runners say
Fit
Balanced fit, neither snug nor roomy. Runners with very wide feet may want to size up a half size.
Feel
Stable and protective ride, with ReactX delivering better responsiveness than the previous React. The overall feel is that of a firm daily trainer, not an agile one — at faster paces, stiffness becomes noticeable.
Durability
Estimated lifespan up to 800 km, less for heavier runners. Hard rubber outsole with generous coverage; forefoot wear accelerates for runners with a pronounced forefoot strike.
Best for
Daily trainer for moderate overpronators focused on easy paces, recovery runs, and long distances. Not suited for runners seeking responsiveness or workout sessions.
Weak points
Stiff, low-versatility ride beyond easy paces. Upper breathability is average — not adequate for running in intense heat.
