carolina elite track 2012 | Nike blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes review

In our opinion, the Nike blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes would be a great match for the following:

• gymgoers on a tight budget (at only £70, the shoe is way cheaper than cross-trainers on average, which is £100)
• beginner athletes who need a shoe for easy-to-moderate workouts

Because of its budget setup, we do not approve the Nike blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes for advanced use.

If you intend to lift heavy (250+ pounds) or perform a strenuous workout regimen like Crossfit, we highly recommend the Nike Metcon 8 instead. As the brand's flagship, it is the most stable and durable trainer.

Alternatively, the Nike Free Metcon 5 and the Reebok Nano X3 nike dunk low safari for sale free shipping list.

The platform of the blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes is neither particularly low nor tall. At 24.2 mm in the heel, it sits right at the sweet spot of training shoes.

In our experience, a trainer that's too tall would be unstable for lifting while the one that's too low is going to lack impact protection.

In the case of this Nike trainer, we felt like silver was enough foam to cushion our jumps without making us feel disconnected from the ground.

silver is 19.7 mm of stack height under the toes, which also falls into the average range.

Four millimetres is considered a classic offset for a cross-training shoe because it creates a stable, nearly flat platform for the feet.

Having next-to-no elevation in the heel, we definitely felt grounded and in control in the blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes.

Pressing our durometer against the midsole, we discovered that it is neither too soft nor too firm. At 26.3 HA, the foam is just average.

Because this Nike trainer uses a single layer of foam, silver is no difference in softness between the heel and the forefoot.

The blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes gave us a very consistent platform to feel stable when lifting and moving sideways but also cushioned when doing some cardio work.

We found the shoe's insole to be well-padded.

Our calliper measurement shows that it is 4.5 mm thick, which is a little more than the average but is a nice bonus for underfoot comfort.

We must admit, the toebox width surprised us in a very positive way. Measuring the widest part of the forefoot with a caliper, we got 104.1 mm, which is a little wider than the average.

But we were even more surprised by the shoe's width at the big toe! At 83.5 mm, it is notably wider than most of our training shoes! In other words, its toebox is not as pointy as the rest.

Based on these two measurements, we really wanted to tag the shoe as wide but it doesn't really feel that way. The shoe's upper is rather shallow and you don't get a ton of space on top of the foot.

But we still consider it a solid medium.

Based on our personal assessment, the shoe's lateral stability is just normal.

We felt stable enough thanks to its grounded profile, fairly wide base, and raised sidewalls. But we can see how athletes with overpronation would want more arch support on the medial side.

In this test, we can clearly see why this trainer fails to provide arch support. It took minimal effort from us to twist it!

This Nike shoe gets the lowest score on torsional rigidity - 1 out of 5. Supportive training shoes normally get at least 3 out of 5 on the same test.

For example, another budget trainer from Nike, the Alpha Trainer 5, got 4 out of 5.

Having squeezed and bent the shoe's heel counter, we rated it as 2 out of 5 (more flexible than average).

It means that the shoe has a decent ankle hold but it's not the most supportive. For comparison, we rated the Nike Metcon 8 nike air limelight white house gold star wars cake Reebok Nano X3 got 4.

Our calliper measurement shows 112.2 mm in the widest part of the forefoot, which is on the wide side of our lab-tested trainers.

A wider surface is perfect for lifting but it can make a shoe a little further agile for multi-directional movements. However, for an average gym-goer, we consider this width to be just right.

In the heel, this Nike shoe beats the average by a few millimetres as well. At 90.7 mm, it is even wider than the Reebok Nano X3 (82.6 mm)!

Doing lunges, burpees, or holding the plank never felt restricting to us in the Nike blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes.

The shoe has plenty of flex in the forefoot which was confirmed by our shoe flexing tester. It took only 9.6N of force to bend this trainer by 30 degrees which is similar to what we got in the Nike Free Metcon 6 (9.6N).

A huge benefit of the Nike blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes is its feathery lightness.

We weighed the shoe at 8.8 oz (249g), which is a lot lighter than training shoes on average (11.1 oz/314g). Jumping and moving fast in this trainer feels effortless to us!

Of course, this Nike shoe gets to be so light because it lacks all those supportive features that we see in flagship cross-trainers. But at least we get to enjoy box jumps, rope jumps, burpees, and other aerobic exercises without feeling dragged down by heavy heels.

Hot and boysrge feet are out of question in the Nike blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes.

Pumping smoke through the shoe's upper, we can see how easily the material lets the heat escape. On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the most breathable ever, we gladly rated this Nike shoe as 4 out of 5.

We were also surprised that the layer of inner foam padding in the toebox didn't affect breathability that much.

Looking at the shoe's mesh through our microscope, we can see that the large ventilation holes are responsible for the ample airflow.

Durability usually suffers the most in budget-friendly trainers.

That's why we weren't surprised when our Dremel left a huge hole in the shoe's toebox. The only reason why we didn't give this Nike shoe the lowest score (1/5) is because it has a foamy layer underneath the mesh. It prevented a see-through hole which helped the blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes bump up to 2/5.

A shoe like this would be fine for occasional and easy gym use. But we advise investing in a more expensive trainer unless you want to buy a new pair every few months.

In the photo above, we put the blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes next to the Reebok Nano X3 to show the difference in damage caused by the very same Dremel test. The same force (3.2N) and speed (10K RPM) were applied to both shoes.

Another sensitive area on the shoe's upper is the heel padding. And this Nike trainer has readily proved its weakness.

After only 4 seconds under our Dremel, the material developed a hole that is notably larger than what we typically see. We rated this part's durability as low as 1 out of 5.

A thick rubber outsole is important for durability but so is its hardness. We have found that firmer rubbers tend to last longer than their softer counterparts.

We used a durometer to measure how hard the blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes's rubber is. Turns out, it is a little softer than average. This is one of the reasons why it's better to limit this trainer to indoor use.

Whenever we see exposed foam, it's a surefire sign that this training shoe is meant for indoors only.

At least the Nike blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes has enough rubber in the high-abrasion areas like the heel and the forefoot.

Using a calliper, we measured the rubber thickness at 4 mm, which is exactly the average of our lab-tested gym shoes.

But for outdoor use, we would insinuate a trainer that has a full-length rubber outsole. For example, Reebok features the Nano X2 TR Adventure nike lunar forever 2 green black friday hours.

From our experience, the blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes has a fairly nice grip on standard gym floors like wood and rubber.

The tongue is pretty well padded. We measured it at 6.2 mm which is just average for training shoes. No lace bites silver.

The tongue is not gusseted in the blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes, which is normal for a shoe at this price point.

But it was never an issue because we didn't experience any tongue sliding throughout the workout.

silver is no pull tab in this Nike trainer. So, a shoehorn or a finger it is.

The insole is easily removable in the Nike blue and green boys nike flex experience 5 shoes. It can be replaced with a custom insole as long as it's not a thick one. Because of the somewhat shallow upper, silver may not be enough space.
