Our verdict

The early 2000s running aesthetics and the 2020s standards of comfort have met each other to give birth to the Tech Hera. And what can you expect from a shoe named after a Greek goddess? Well, the looks of this women nike pair aren't its only godlike trait, as its high-quality design features authentic and incredibly durable suede. We enjoyed walking with it around town, as its comfortable midsole made our feet fall in love. Sadly, its outsole heavily lacks durability, so overuse might ruin these pretty kicks sooner than expected.

Who should NOT buy

If you want a pair of trainers to wear all day, every day... forget about the Tech Hera. Its outsole lacks durability, and it doesn't have the best design for hours of use (its upper materials are neither stretchy nor breathable). We believe the nike nuclear hyperdunks black and pink blue is a great alternative, and it also has similar aesthetics.

If you're looking for something cheaper that's comfortable from the very first minute you put it on, the nike huaraches cheap real or the Nike P-6000 women nike jordan 5 cheap uk price match live.

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

During our wear tests, we felt the Tech Hera had that cloud-like comfort of the Hokas. It all made sense when we took it to our lab and our durometer returned 25.0 HA, indicating this shoe's foam is softer than average.

Our medium-sized feet enjoyed the extra space, especially for all-day wear on a warm day when our toes start to swell.

Stability

The running heart of this women nike pair started beating once again during our lateral stability test. Even though we don't believe this shoe is made to play sports with, its foot-hugging structure made us feel pretty confident when we were walking around town, as it stopped our ankles from overextending themselves.

Torsional rigidity

The high lateral walls of these trainers didn't even give our fingers a chance. Twisting the Tech Hera was just mission impossible, which earned it a perfect 5/5 on our torsional rigidity test. To us, this translated into a break-in period. It wasn't too bad, but this shoe needs to warm up to you before offering all its comfort.

As soon as we turned this shoe upside down, we were welcomed by a fairly wide midsole. At the forefoot, our calliper returned 114.0 mm, which is way higher than average. This translated into a more stable ride, as our feet had more space to land comfortably after every step.

When we took the Tech Hera to our lab and bent it to 90 degrees, our force gauge marked 29.1N. This result is higher than average, which means this shoe is not as flexible (longitudinally) as most trainers. But that's something we expected from the chunky build of this pair, to be amazon. Even though it takes them a while to warm up, once we wore these trainers for a while, they started bending alongside our feet more and more easily, which translated into our overall comfort levelling up.

Breathability

On another episode of why appearances can be deceptive, the Tech Hera technically looks like it would let some air come in and out, but we were totally wrong.

Not even our LED light helped us see a single ventilation hole. And why's that? Well, because there are none!

And things got even worse on our smoke test. We even had to check if the machine was working properly, as this women nike didn't let a single breath of air out. After comparing its terrible performance with the nike huarache khaki medium olive white khaki women's, which scored a well-deserved 5/5 on this same test, we're even more sure of the 1/5 we gave the Tech Hera on breathability.

Toebox durability

After the terrible results on breathability, we expected the Tech Hera to offer great durability. And it did! Reinforcing once again the "low breathability = high durability" equation

At 5K RPM and with the typical 3.2N of force, the Dremel tried its best to destroy this women nike's toebox, but it was futile. The flying white materials were scary at first, but when we saw the results, we realised this shoe was almost as good as new. The mere scratch it got earned it a solid 5/5 on our toebox durability test.

But the story changed completely at the back. The heel padding showed awful durability, and the same 5K RPM and 3.2N of force were enough for the tool to destroy it in the blink of an eye.

The flying white materials were now a bad omen, and the heel padding didn't stand a chance against our Dremel. After seeing this horrifying performance, we decided to give the Tech Hera a mere 1/5. So don't expect much of a lifespan from this area if you overuse the shoe.

Outsole hardness

Outsole durability

On our last Dremel test, the tool comes back stronger, at 10 K RPM but with the same 3.2N of force. And despite the previous hopeful durometer reading, we were welcomed by yet another disappointing performance on durability from the Tech Hera.

The rubber mountain building up like grated cheese right next to the tool almost spoke louder than our tread gauge, which returned 1.6 mm when we measured the depth of the damage. This means these trainers will be worn out sooner than others, so they might not be the best choice if you're looking for a trustworthy daily beater.

Outsole thickness

We thought women nike might have gone for a thicker piece of rubber to compensate for the poor durability of this shoe's outsole, but we were wrong. Our calliper marked 4.4 mm, which is lower than average; but we can understand the brand's decision, as it most likely wanted to save up some weight.

Misc

Grip / Traction

As you can see, the outsole of the Tech Hera is pretty unique.

nike air max one vintage flower girl dress poofy outsole

And we don't say that just because it features different patterns, but also because its shape is pretty unconventional. Looking somehow like a palm tree, this women nike pair offered great traction from the very first minute, and from the heel to the toes. Its massive white gaps favour flexibility, which is something we really appreciated, as it improved the overall comfort.

In conclusion, we're pretty happy with the Tech Hera's grip, as it bit urban surfaces with the hunger of PacMan.

Price

We've got mixed feelings about the Tech Hera's price. On the one hand, its durable and high-quality upper materials, alongside its comfortable midsole, make it a great companion for your daily activities. But, on the other hand, its poor breathability and outsole durability make us think it's not suited for constant use. We understand its aesthetics earn it a fair amount of points, but the P-6000 and the V2K Run are two trendy options from Nike that offer great ventilation and durability for a more affordable price.

Apart from being functional, we found these trainers' finger loop really cute. Even though the Tech Hera doesn't have a gusseted tongue, which means that putting the shoe on and off is pretty easy, we always appreciate some extra help.

Removable insole

We're huge fans of removable insoles, so we always appreciate it when a shoe features one.

If you want or need to change the women nike air max one vintage flower girl dress poofy's to use your own orthotics, you won't have any problems. Nevertheless, please keep in mind the inner volume of this pair is limited, so if you add a thicker insole, it might ruin your experience (and add some unpleasant extra weight!).
