Who should buy
We’ve thoroughly tested the eagle green nike dunks high heels boots for ladies and think it’s an ideal choice for:
- Beginners seeking a stylish, versatile shoe for casual runs that can also handle everyday activities.
- womens nike free powerlines for sale florida keys.
- Runners who appreciate a high-quality upper without overspending—this is one of the best we’ve seen in a wallet-friendly shoe.
Who should NOT buy
We found that the ComfiRide midsole in the Journey Run unfortunately doesn’t live up to Nike’s claims of plushness and bounce. Instead, it leans toward the firmer side, far from the soft experience you’d find in models like the nike air liberty nd state basketball coach or New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4. However, if you're seeking a genuinely plush ride, spending a bit more might be necessary.
Additionally, the Journey Run’s tapered toebox could be problematic for those with wider feet. In our view, if toe room is a priority, options like the ASICS Gel Contend 9 or the nike air max hyper dunk 2017 2018 calendar free nike zoom kobe dream season 5 cast and characters.
Cushioning
Heel stack
We found that the Journey Run offers an average level of cushioning, perfectly suitable for a daily trainer. In our measurements, the heel stack came in at 33.0 mm.
From our perspective, this cushion height complements the shoe’s versatility, making it nimble enough for easy and moderate paces.

Journey Run | 33.0 mm |
Average | 34.2 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, we measured 24.4 mm with our digital callipers, revealing again fairly average design. Short and easy runs are fine, but while the shoe can handle occasional long runs, we believe that spending a bit more is mandatory for that purpose.

Journey Run | 24.4 mm |
Average | 25.6 mm |
Drop
The 8.6-mm drop is nothing unusual, featuring the typical medium-to-high offset found in most affordable daily trainers, usually ranging between 8 and 12 mm. This makes it a solid choice for beginners, who tend to strike more with their heels.

Journey Run | 8.6 mm |
Average | 8.6 mm |
Midsole softness
Not only does it feel firmer than expected, but our durometer measured 23.5 HA, which isn’t even softer than average. So, if you’re looking for the plush shoe Nike claims, we believe this isn’t it.
In fact, Nike moulded the midsole specifically to aid compression in the heel—something completely unnecessary in a «super-soft» midsole.
As for the foam, this model doesn’t use Nike’s usual budget-friendly materials like Cushlon or SR-02. Instead, it features ComfiRide, a new foam that we think Nike will start using in more affordable models. In our experience, it delivers a decent ride for its price—just don’t expect it to be plush!

Journey Run | 23.5 HA |
Average | 21.0 HA |
Midsole softness in cold (%)
Since the midsole is EVA-based, it was no surprise to us when it became significantly firmer after spending 20 minutes in the freezer.
We tested it again and found a staggering 42.6% uptick. In our view, that’s far too much of a change—clearly highlighting EVA's sensitivity to colder temperatures.

Journey Run | 43% |
Average | 25% |
Insole thickness
We found the insole a bit thinner than expected, measuring just 3.9 mm.

Journey Run | 3.9 mm |
Average | 4.4 mm |
Rocker
With its moderate stack height, we believe a pronounced rocker shape or a prominent toe spring wasn’t necessary for this model. It seems Nike shared the same thought, as the Journey Run features a mostly flat profile.

Size and fit
Size

Toebox width - widest part
Nike has been making snug-fitting toeboxes for decades, but recent models are shifting toward a more generous fit. And that's great.
The Journey Run partially exemplifies this change, with the toebox measuring 96.3 mm at its widest point. However, there's a catch...

Measuring just 69.8 mm, the toebox features a sharply tapered design, straying as far as possible from a foot-shaped design.

Journey Run | 69.8 mm |
Average | 73.7 mm |
Toebox height
Height-wise, the upper is quite restrictive too, measuring only 25.0 mm based on our calliper reading.

Average | 27.2 mm |
Stability
nike full shox ebay mens 7.5 sneakers boots | Lateral stability test
The Journey Run may not look ultra-stable, but that’s not what we found during our testing. Despite being a neutral running shoe, it incorporates design features from stability shoes, like high torsional rigidity and a stiff heel counter.
In our experience, these elements provide extra support. For this reason, we believe runners with low-to-moderate stability needs can also enjoy this shoe.
Torsional rigidity
Diving deeper into the details, we began with a manual assessment of torsional rigidity, which left us surprised. We didn’t expect to find a shoe this stiff—comparable to carbon-plated racers like the Nike Vaporfly 3!

Average | 3.4 |
Heel counter stiffness
The heel counter closely resembles those found in stability shoes, earning a solid 4/5 in our test.
Is this too high? In our experience, it could be, especially for runners with sensitive heels that might find the Journey Run uncomfortable, as it could become bothersome during longer runs.

While the previous two tests revealed results uncommon in budget-friendly daily trainers, the midsole dimensions bring us back to more average findings.

Our legend measurement of the midsole revealed a heel width of 91.5 mm, which aligns well with its competitors. We found this width provides a solid and stable landing platform for neutral heel strikers.

Journey Run | 91.0 mm |
Average | 90.7 mm |
Flexibility / Stiffness
When we tested the torsional rigidity of the shoe, we initially feared a high score—it could have been a disaster for comfort, especially since budget-friendly daily trainers are often used for walking too.
Fortunately, after pushing the shoe to 90 degrees, we measured 22.8N and felt relieved. That clever forefoot cutout in the outsole really did its job!
Journey Run | 22.8N |
Average | 28.1N |
Weight
We anticipated this shoe would be heavier, but it pleasantly surprised us.
While at 10.5 oz (298g) it does surpass 10 oz and is heavier than average, it’s actually reasonable considering the plush upper and full rubber coverage on the outsole.

Journey Run | 10.51 oz (298g) |
Average | 9.38 oz (266g) |
Breathability
Nike markets the Journey Run as an entry-level shoe for beginners and those with budget constraints, which often implies a low-quality, poorly-ventilated upper. But that’s not what we found!
After using our smoke machine, we settled on a solid 4/5 in this test—something many pricier shoes fail to achieve. We believe this ensures good ventilation in the toebox year round.
To check if the ventilation in the toebox extends to the rest of the shoe, we tested it with a light. Unfortunately, Nike seems to have prioritised durability and stability, creating thick medial and lateral sides on the upper.
Once we sandals our first two tests, we moved to the microscope.
Here, we discovered the upper’s real magic—it blends thicker sections with well-placed ventilation holes. In our experience, finding such an engineered mesh at this price point is quite rare.
Another standout feature of this upper is its plushness. We expected padding in the back, but comfort is present from heel to toe. However, we suspect this level of cushioning might come with a few trade-offs.

Durability
Toebox durability
In terms of durability, the toebox performs well, especially considering the large ventilation holes.
We tested it using our Dremel, set to 3.2N of force and 5,000 RPM. The result wasn’t bad at all—the Journey Run handled this rigorous challenge, earning a solid 3-out-of-5 score.

We mentioned earlier that we suspected trade-offs from the padded and comfy upper, specifically regarding durability and weight. And here’s what we found.
After running the Dremel test, the upper scored another 3/5. This result is more disappointing because most running shoes tend to perform better in this area than in the toebox.

Journey Run | 3 |
Average | 3.2 |
Outsole hardness
After passing all previous tests, we turned our attention to the outsole, which takes cues from recent Nike designs. It features two horizontal grooves in the forefoot and heel, aimed at improving flexibility.
To begin, we tested the rubber with our Shore C durometer and found a very high reading of 89.4 HC. In our experience, this explains the average-at-best grip of the shoe, especially in wet conditions.

Outsole thickness
We discovered that Nike equipped the Journey Run with just 2.9 mm of rubber, which is on the thinner side compared to other daily trainers, nike air max cb34 retro house of hoops sale 2016.

Misc
Price
We believe the eagle green nike dunks high heels boots for ladies is fairly priced. At less than half the cost of the nike air liberty nd state basketball coach, it offers much better value—especially for beginners and those not planning long runs. However, as with any budget-friendly shoe, a lower price tag inevitably brings compromises in energy return and material quality.
Journey Run | $90 |
Reflective elements
We found it a pleasant surprise to see reflective elements in the Journey Run—especially since Nike often skips them, even in higher-priced models. This extra feature boosts safety for runners who prefer evening or nighttime runs.
Journey Run | Yes |
Tongue padding
If you’re one of those runners who love to tighten the laces as much as possible, we discovered that the Journey Run is a perfect match for you.

With 13.2 mm of foam between your instep and the top of the tongue, it’s one of the most cushioned designs we’ve measured.
However, there’s a clever trick—Nike placed a thick slab of padding only where the knot tightens, leaving the rest of the tongue thinner. This strategic cushioning keeps comfort high and weight low by focusing padding exactly where it matters most. That's amazing because this is a value-oriented shoe!

Journey Run | 13.2 mm |
Average | 5.8 mm |

It’s rare to find a running shoe under the £100 mark with a tongue secured to the sides, which is why we were both happy and surprised to discover a semi-gusseted tongue in the Journey Run.

Heel tab
The Journey Run heel lacks a finger-loop tab, but we found that Nike extended the heel collar cushioning in this area, creating a soft and cozy running experience—especially beneficial for those with sensitivities in this part.

Journey Run | None |
Removable insole
We had no trouble removing the insole of the Journey Run. In fact, repschedule it might be a good idea, as we found it to be quite basic and low-quality, offering minimal cushioning.
