Have you guys seen the Zoom Air joints? Pretty much the same shoe but with full length visible zoom….
 
they were posted in the Pegasus thread iirc, also I believe that colorways for womens, not sure if they'll have it for mens

Wow, 3/3 for me -- wide foot/flat foot/serious ankle instability. Was intrigued by the design but haven't really needed a new pair of runners, guess I'll just sit these out.

Not necessarily. I have wide/flat feet and these fit comfortably. Only thing was an irritation on my left achilles

Looks like the major problem is the rear seam stitching for the sock causing rashes and soreness in the Achilles. Thicker socks can't alleviate the problem as it will disrupt the ride and take up already precious space in the shoe. Otherwise, they seem to like it a lot despite its major flaw, but have to rate it accordingly.

I assume the same problem will occur with the upcoming Zoom All Out.

Low cut versions shouldn't have this problem whenever they come out, for obvious reasons.

I was scared that the zoom all out was the racer 2.0 haha... what a relief

'Racer 2.0' is pretty much the upcoming Zoom Streak Flyknit.
 
That sucks for those who's Achilles it irritates because it's one of the better running shoes I've used in a while.
 
I did have the achilles discomfort issue. I just manually stretched the sock area of my shoes out a little and they've been fine ever since. Also went up .5
 
I also had the Achilles problem at first too...On my right foot specifically...

Just took a couple runs to get them broken in is all...Now they fit like they were made for my feet...Without a doubt the most comfortable runner I've worn in a very long time...

Sized up a half from normal and ride with the thicker insole...Limo's for the feet y'all...

these like the FK3? those hugged my feet more than the lunarglides.

btw, is the midsole a new tech?

when do the lows come out?

Midsole is just laser-sipped so that the Lunarlon compresses more easily and makes for a smoother ride, while spreading the cushioning more evenly. It's an extremely comfy shoe but man, the outsole just traps all the little rocks like crazy and the Achilles tendon problem is seriously ridiculous for a $175 shoe. Mine was pretty much rubbed raw and I tried out the basketball Elite socks with em for extra padding and it still happened. I am glad I got mine on discount because I would never spend that much money for a shoe with problems such as that.
 
I have 2 pairs of these and have yet to try them out. I'm sad reading these achilles reviews since i tore mine a few years back and seem to have trouble with certain pairs already.

Didn't give them a fair shake, but after putting them on the first time, immediately didn't like the Achilles rub. Knew it would be trouble. Didn't care for the overall feel either. Boxed up and returned next day. To each their own. Not worth the $120 I paid, definitely not the $175 msrp IMO.

I think i'll try this weekend, hoping they work, but not feeling very confident.
 
I've seen tons of reviews online where people are saying these are broken in out of the box...Totally not my experience at all...

Like I mentioned above, and as most other's have been saying, I had the Achilles problem at first...Took me two short runs to get them broken in to where it didn't bother me...To be honest I think it's just an issue of the sock/sleeve stretching to conform to the shape of the ankle...Basically needing a break in period to conform to the foot / ankle shape...Haven't had any issues with Achilles rub since...

My major complaint was that getting the fit right is a major pain, at least in my case...I wen't up .5 from normal because when I tried them on and walked around in store they felt fairly narrow in the mid-foot area...Considering I wanted to give both insoles a shot I knew this wasn't going to work for the 6mm option...

First run I used the 4mm insole, tightened the laces for better lock down due to the extra space, and got a serious pinching sensation on the top of both feet (Kind of near the base of the ankle)...I actually stopped a couple minutes in and untied the shoes for the rest of the way which of course resulted in a sloppy fit...

I found my sweet spot on my second run by throwing in the 6mm insole and tying the shoes fairly loose...Worked through the whole run without ever having any problem at all...I think the tightness I felt when I tried to go TTS in store was simply due to the laces being too tight...The fit seems to be intended to be snug, at least that's the way the shoe fits best for me...Essentially like a sock...

By the time I got to my third run I knew this would be my primary runners for the foreseeable future...

Basically if you like to be able to have more ground feel when you run then stay TTS and run with the 4mm insole...

If you like to have more cushioning then go up a half size and run with the 6mm option...
 
I have problems with the heel.. It hurts (rubs) on my achilles. It's only the left foot. Anyone else having these problems? I had them on for 3 days now. I went tts.. Someone here that have the same problem and tried a tts and 0.5 size up? Was that the solution? I really like these shoes.. So im desperate for a good pair of these
 
I use mine mainly for working out and light running on the treadmill. They are comfortable and very flexible. I wear nike elite socks with mine and haven't had any heel problems.

Maybe wearing them with elite socks in crew or quarter will prevent the heel issues for some of y'all.

I second this I actually wear the double thick elite, and slim ankle sleeves. I could still feel the rub on my left heel until I put about 30 miles on these shoes.

Does anyone have any bottoming out issues with these yet? I have a total of about 75 miles (all concrete) on my pair. I could definitely feel the foam starting to thin after about 40 miles. I think the lack of a true rubberish outsole underneath the midsole, could hurt the longevity and integrity of the foam.
 
I wear regular old Nike half socks and feel no rub

Y'all sure you aren't wearing a size too small?
