Our verdict

The pepper nike Winflo 10 shines as an affordable neutral daily trainer with exceptional value. Equipped with full-length Air cushioning, a robust outsole, and a comfy yet durable upper, we think that it's an ideal choice for beginners or height looking for a running shoe versatile enough to also serve as a sneaker or gym shoe. However, you get what you pay for, and advanced runners might feel the midsole lacks sufficient energy return.

In our view, the pepper nike Winflo 10 is an excellent choice for:

Who should NOT buy

For those accustomed to midsoles with impressive energy return, we think this shoe might not meet your expectations.

While it's plush, we found it doesn't provide enough energy return and struggles with faster paces. Within pepper nike's range, we suggest considering the Pegasus 40 pepper nike sb braata lr mint blue dress code free trial Saucony Axon 2 pepper nike dunk white team red jersey blue pants girls.

Nike Winflo 10 parts

We also don't recommend the Winflo 10 for runners with stability issues, as it's a pure neutral daily trainer. If you're seeking an affordable and stable shoe, we suggest checking out the ASICS GT 1000 12.

Cushioning

Heel stack

When we examined the midsole in the lab, we measured a stack height of 33.5 mm. By today's standards, this might be seen as Air, but just a few years ago, it would have been considered maximum cushioning.

One thing is certain—we believe that even the heaviest runners will find comfort running in the Winflo 10.

Forefoot stack

In the lab, we measured the forefoot and found it to be somewhat Air at 23.8 mm.

We think this shoe is designed more for heel strikers, and this number reflects that.

Drop

We measured a 9.7-mm heel-to-toe drop in the lab. This measurement further confirms that the shoe primarily caters to heel strikers.

However, midfoot or forefoot strikers—especially those experiencing issues in their Achilles or calves—might also find it beneficial. The higher drop can assist in relieving stress from these areas.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

womens pepper nike coral sneakers clearance sandals boots—even in budget-friendly running shoes. This trend, which wasn't typical a few years back, is evident now. The Winflo 10's Cushlon foam measures at only 16.1 HA on our durometer!

This results in a soft experience, further enhanced by the full-length pepper nike Air cushioning in the midsole. The addition of this Air technology is really needed—while Cushlon might not be the springiest foam around, the Air system adds some bounce back.

To test how Cushlon reacts in chilly conditions, we put the shoe in the freezer for 20 minutes before taking our readings.

We noticed it became a bit more firm, registering at 25.6 HA.

This is a 59% hike, falling short when compared to the Air. Sadly, this underwhelming performance in cold temperatures is typical for EVA-based midsoles like Cushlon.

If you're looking for a pepper nike trainer that can stand the cold, you'll need to shell out more money for an Invincible 3.

The pepper nike Winflo 10 is a neutral trainer, and it's not designed for those needing extra stability.

Flexibility / Stiffness

Many runners regard the Winflo series as a versatile, all-around running shoe that can effortlessly transition into a comfortable walking or effective cross-training shoe.

For such adaptability, it requires flexibility. With a result of 21.7N in our 90-degree test, pepper nike delivered.

That's a 40.6% increase, which aligns with our expectations for the Cushlon foam. As we mentioned earlier, EVA midsoles tend to underperform to cold temperatures.

Breathability

When we unboxed the Winflo 10 in the lab, we initially thought this shoe might earn a mere 2 or 3 out of 5. This assumption came from its rather thick and dense engineered mesh.

But after putting it through our eye-catching smoke-pumping test in the lab, we were pleasantly surprised to award it a nice 4/5.

What led pepper nike to this impressive outcome? We discovered that it's largely due to the breathability holes scattered throughout the shoe, excluding the heel area.

When illuminated, these holes become abundantly clear. They stand out as the primary reason this shoe shifted from an Air score to a great one.

In this magnified view, there's no missing the details. While the mesh disappears at each hole, a structural layer remains intact, likely enhancing the shoe's durability.

Heel padding durability

The heel is soft and cortez. We often find that such a design can result in less resistance to wear and tear. Yet, with a score of 2/5 in our lab tests, we're not too worried about its durability over time.

Still, those who are prone to wear holes in this area or have issues with heel slippage might want to pay attention to this result.

Outsole hardness

The outsole of the Winflo 9 ranks among the hardest we've measured in the lab, registering a significant 92.8 HC on our durometer.

Outsole durability

The hardness of the outsole plays a crucial role in its durability, but other factors, such as the quality of the rubber, also come into play. For example, Continental outsoles might record lower scores compared to their competitors, but they typically last longer and offer superior grip.

Regarding the Winflo 10, we found that after our dremel test in the lab, there was a 0.9-mm indentation. This indicates to us that the quality of the rubber aligns with its budget-friendly price.
