Is the Nike Shox TL good for running?

No. It is a lifestyle shoe with a firm, heavy ride. Runners should look at Nike's dedicated running models instead.

How does the Shox TL fit?

It tends to run narrow, so many shoppers size up half a size. A wide width is offered for broader feet.

The four columns under the heel are meant to cushion and return energy with each step. In practice the feel is firm rather than soft.

The mesh and textile upper is not waterproof. The shoe handles dry pavement well but not rain or puddles.

The TL has a taller, more prominent Shox heel and a chunkier profile. The R4 is lower and closer to the original 2000s running shape.

Yes. Owners report the stiff midsole and upper loosen up after a few wears.
