- Is the Nike Shox R4 good for running?
- It was designed as a running shoe in 2000, but today it is best treated as a lifestyle sneaker. The Shox columns are firm and the shoe is heavy, so most runners will prefer a modern trainer.
- How does the Shox R4 fit?
- It has a normal width, but several owners say it runs narrow and snug. If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, consider going up half a size.
- Is the Shox R4 waterproof?
- No. This version has no Gore-Tex membrane and a textile and leather upper, so it handles light damp but not rain or puddles.
- What is under the heel?
- Four Shox columns made of resilient foam, a setup Nike used on its early-2000s running shoes. They give a firm, springy feel rather than soft squish.
- Is it a women's shoe?
- Yes, this version is listed as a women's model in women's US sizes. The Shox R4 line has also been sold in men's and unisex sizing in other colorways.
