I was hesitant at first that the shoes seemed to have a bit of a heel and I was n't sure if it would make them heavier or more difficult to run in but I have had no issues with it and in fact the shoes are very

The Nike Structure 26 has been a lifesaver in my recovery from plantar fasciitis. Before buying them, I couldn ’ t run due to constant foot pain. Since switching, I ’ ve been able to walk comfortably and ease back into light running without discomfort. The arch support is excellent, and the cushioning provides just the right balance of softness and stability. It feels secure without being restrictive, and the smooth ride makes every step feel natural. After trying other shoes that only made things worse, the Structure 26 has truly made a difference. If you ’ re dealing with foot pain or need a reliable stability shoe, this one is a game changer.

5 Jay21alive22
I have overpronation, so most Nike shoes don ’ t work well for me. I heard these new versions were coming out, so I decided to give them a try. I ’ m really impressed! They ’ re super comfortable and provide great support for my overpronation. The only downside is that they don ’ t come in a wide foot size. Overall, though, I ’ d highly recommend these shoes!

5 Alexxx
[ I absolutely love the Nike Structure 26 Wide! As someone with wider feet, finding a running shoe that offers both structure and comfort is not easy. But these hit the mark beautifully. The fit was spot- on — no tight toe box, no rubbing, and no weird pressure points. They felt broken- in almost instantly, which never happens with structured shoes. The cushioning is seriously impressive. It ’s supportive without feeling stiff or heavy, and I could feel the difference in my knees and ankles after longer runs. Whether I was doing treadmill intervals or wearing them for a general gym session, they were super comfortable the whole time. Design- wise, I love how clean and sporty they look. The colorway I received is neutral enough to go with almost anything, and the materials feel breathable and high quality — no sweaty feet even after a full session. What I liked most: the balance of cushion and stability. What I ’ d change? Honestly, nothing so far. These are now my go- to running shoes, and I ’ m already planning to grab a second pair in a different color. If you need a dependable, supportive running shoe for wide feet that doesn ’ t compromise on comfort or style — this is the one.

5 Mom3
[ Straight out of the box, the Nike Structure 26 has that wow factor. While its fun bright color is aesthetically pleasing and exciting to wear, it also helps during low light visibility conditions due to its Hyper Pink color and reflective areas on its sides. I am currently wearing it for daily activities, walks, hikes with my family and occasional runs. The underfoot has just the right amount of sink- in softness and rebounds smoothly. It is plush, stable, supportive, offers cushioning and is particularly comfortable. For this reason, I used it on recovery days as the breaking- in phase. The tongue and color have lots of padding which I am not used to but I consider them a plus. The mesh fabric is breathable and of very high quality. The fit is just right, true to size, snug enough to feel supportive and is becoming more comfortable with every use. I found the Nike Structure 26 to be more comfortable and natural than other running shoes that I own. Unfortunately, the outsole rubber in the Structure 26 is already showing some wear although it has good traction. The tongue could be a bit slimmer, but I 'm being nitpicky here. All in all, I love it and I got many compliments about its aesthetics. It's true to size, comfortable and has extra support and stability.

5 Jessleff
[ I really like the Nike Structure 26 for running. The shoes are very light and have the perfect amount of support for my needs. I only run about once a week and then lift the other days. I find these are great for running, lifting, and also just chasing around kiddos all day. I am typically between a 6. 5 and 7. I got these in a 7 and I am happy with that decision. They are made of a very breathable fabric. I love the vibrant pink color. Gives a fun pop to my running fits. Overall a great shoe I would recommend.

5 imslaw
Got these for my daughter. She loves them. Her favorite running shoe ever. Cushy and comfy but still pretty light. She's pretty flat- footed and her foot tends to rotate in, so this model with the guide has been good for her. Would recommend if you need cushion and a little support.

Wore for a marathon — they were comfortable for the race. There was a little heel rubbing on the 2 practice runs I did in them, but that resolved. I got a PR and the shoes may have helped.

I bought the shoes about 2 weeks ago and I love running in them. They are cushioned which helps with shock absorption and yet very light. The carbon plate really helps with running faster.

Best running shoes I ’ ve ever had. Period. Light and airy, like a glove on my feet. I always have some type of issue with most shoes but not with these. My distances haven ’ t been long, max 6k, but most shoes stay to give me pain and issues after 3k and these have been perfect. I am not exaggerating.

5 Adrienne
Just ordered two additional pairs. I have loved the Escalante 3 and Escalante 4 because the low stack gives me great road feel. The fabric in the toe area of the Escalante 5 continues what I love about versions 3 and 4-- softer toe area at the front of the shoe, low stack height, comfortable lacing-- while giving me a slightly wider and longer toe box in the same size I always wear. Fit over the mid foot( I have high arches) is excellent. The laces are long enough. I played with the lacing at the upper eyelets to perfect the fit over the area of the instep closest to my ankle. Altra, please give me more fun, bright colors-- The Escalante 3 in fuchsia was a real winner. The pink is OK, but I 'd like something more bold. After wearing it for a few days, I ordered the shoe in the pale blue and black with white sole.

5 Lis W.
Most comfortable shoe ever. Have many colors. Wear white with sundresses.

5 Alyssa M.
I love the toe box of this shoe. I have recently been dealing with a Morton ’s neuroma and this shoe provides the appropriate amount of stability at the heel and space at the toe. I do not wear this shoe for running.

5 Lauren
Compared to the previous version of the Triumph, which I also loved, I find the T22 to be softer but not too soft, very stable, with a fun energetic ride. It has more room in the toebox which I appreciate- I did n't have an issue with the T20 on a daily basis, but came back from my first marathon with two black toenails, so that little bit more room is great and fits the shape of my foot well. My first run was in the rain and I found the grip to be great. The only downside is it may have lost some of the versatility of the T20/21, which also did well on moderate speed days, but T22 feels solidly made for daily training and long runs. Definitely think it will be a great cruiser and leg saver on longer efforts.

5 ElizaV
I bought these pair of shoes about a month ago and I love them! I had a pair Saucony triumph 20 and I was very satisfied. My new triumph 22 though, are really amazing!!!

I went with the wide in this shoe. I wear them for everyday use and love the cushioning and bounce they provide. They don ’ t appear wide on my feet. I also have the Glycerin in wide and I feel like I ’ m wearing clown shoes. Short with a very wide toe box.

5 Hbeeler33
[ I 've been really impressed with these shoes so far. The first thing I noticed was how much cushioning they have. Looking at them, you 'd expect them to feel heavy because of the thick sole, but they 're actually surprisingly lightweight. When I 'm walking or jogging, it feels like there's very little impact on my joints because of how much cushion they provide. They 're also true to size, which is always a plus. I usually have to buy wide shoes, but these have plenty of room without feeling too loose or restrictive. The fit is comfortable right out of the box. One thing I really appreciate is how smoothly they roll from heel to toe when walking. It just feels natural. I have plantar fasciitis, and the arch support has been great. Normally I can feel some soreness after jogging, but I did n't have any foot pain or discomfort after wearing these. I 've worn them on a treadmill, on paved roads, and even on gravel, and they 've been comfortable on every surface. They provide a lot of support and cushioning no matter where I 'm using them. I also like how breathable they are. My feet do n't feel hot or sweaty after exercising, which is n't always the case with heavily cushioned shoes. The look of the shoe is another bonus. I really like the color, and they go well with just about anything, whether I 'm wearing workout clothes or just casual clothes around town. They will also stay clean for a long time because they are dark in color. I 've actually gotten several compliments on them since I started wearing them. I think they make my feet look small, even though I wear a 9. 5. Some shoes make my feet look HUGE. Overall, these are some of the most comfortable shoes I 've worn in a long time. Between the cushioning, support, breathability, and fit, they 've been great for both exercise and everyday wear. I 'm taking a trip to Disney in October, and these will definitely be packed in my suitcase because I know they 'll handle long days on my feet without a problem.

5 LindsaySz09
[ I absolutely love my Ghost Max 4s! I wasn ’ t sure at first how I ’ d feel about the extra cushioning, but now I ’ m completely sold. The extra support is a feature I ’ ll definitely be looking for in all my future walking and running shoes. From the moment I started walking in them, they felt incredibly comfortable. Once I put them on for a run, I was even more impressed. I enjoy running for my workouts and run about 20 miles a week. The cushioning and support make every stride feel smoother, and running feels more natural and effortless than ever. These shoes truly help take the impact out of running! One detail that I really like is the feel of the laces. They stay securely tied and locked in place, so I never have to worry about stopping mid- workout to retie them. Overall, the Ghost Max 4s have exceeded my expectations and quickly become my favorite pair of running shoes!

5 Shay
[ These shoes are supportive, comfortable and versatile. I pop these on in the morning, go outside for a run, chase my toddler around at the park, go grocery shopping, and then run around in them with my toddler some more. My feet feel great at the end of the day. I have higher arches and the top part of my foot is very sensitive, so I ’ m picky about my running shoes. So far, these make my feet( and knees) feel supported during runs and walks outside and on the treadmill. I love that they feel cushioned and stable while also still feeling lightweight. Size 7. 5( medium width) fits me great. I ’ m normally a size 7, but I always go half a size up for running shoes. I ’ m looking forward to start my half marathon training in these!

5 EKH89
[ I really love this shoe for running and walking throughout a busy day. The shoe feels cushioned but is more firm than other more cushioned running shoes I ’ ve tried in the past. My knees and hips feel great during my run as the cushioning does a good job reducing impact. I ’ ve worn these on both the treadmill and road running and they ’ ve worked great with both and I ’ ve felt it provides good support throughout my runs. Running feels natural and easy to move heel to toe. I ’ ve had some foot issues over the past few months and have found that I feel no pain or issues while wearing this shoes and have picked these over my other running shoes since they support where my foot normally hurts a little better. The only con I ’ ve noticed is that the design hits at a strange place by my ankle and if I wear them all day, I notice it ’s a little tender, but it ’s not noticeable for even a long run. I will buy these again when it ’s time for new running shoes.

Frequently Asked Questions For Women's Platform Running Shoes

Women's platform running shoes are designed to provide additional cushioning and support, making them ideal for long-distance running. The elevated sole can help reduce impact on joints, offering a more comfortable running experience. Additionally, the platform design can enhance stability and promote a more efficient running stride.

Choosing the right size for women's platform running shoes involves measuring your foot and considering the fit of the shoe. It's important to try on shoes at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen for a more accurate fit. Additionally, consider the type of socks you will wear while running, as this can affect the overall fit and comfort.

Women's platform running shoes are typically made from a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic materials to enhance comfort and flexibility. The midsole often features cushioning technologies such as EVA foam or gel for shock absorption. Outsoles are usually made from durable rubber to provide traction and longevity on various surfaces.

Women's platform running shoes can be suitable for various types of running, including road running, trail running, and even casual jogging. However, the specific design and cushioning may cater better to certain activities. It's important to consider your running style and the terrain when selecting the right pair for your needs.

When trying on women's platform running shoes, look for a snug fit that allows for some wiggle room in the toes without feeling cramped. Pay attention to the arch support and cushioning, as these features significantly impact overall comfort during runs. Additionally, consider the weight of the shoe; lighter options may feel more comfortable for longer distances.

Women's platform running shoes differ from traditional running shoes primarily in their sole design, which is thicker and provides more elevation. This design can enhance cushioning and support, making them suitable for runners seeking additional comfort. Additionally, platform shoes may offer a different aesthetic and style, appealing to those who want both performance and fashion.
