Our take on the Nike Women's LD-1000

The Nike Women's LD-1000 is a 1977 running shoe brought back as a lifestyle sneaker, built with leather and textile uppers, a foam midsole and a rubber waffle outsole. Its signature detail is the dramatically flared heel, originally designed to support long-distance runners. It is a retro trainer rather than a modern performance shoe, so buy it for the look and everyday comfort. The rating sits at 4.6 out of 5 from 371 ratings.

Pros
  • Leather and textile upper is durable and breathable
  • Foam midsole gives easy step-in comfort
  • Rubber waffle outsole grips well on pavement
  • Distinctive flared heel stands out from other retro runners
  • Lace-up fit with a round toe suits most feet
Cons
  • No arch support, so not ideal for flat feet or long walks
  • Not slip resistant and not built for real training
  • Flared heel can feel unstable or catch on stairs
  • Leather upper needs more care than mesh
  • No APMA seal, so it is not a podiatrist-endorsed shoe

Questions and answers

Is the LD-1000 good for actual running?
No. It is a 1977 design reissued as a lifestyle shoe, with a foam midsole and no modern cushioning or stability tech. Use it for walking and casual wear, not training.
Does it have arch support?
No. The listing states there is no arch support, so shoppers with flat feet or plantar issues should look at a support trainer instead.
How does it fit?
It is a women's lace-up sneaker with a round toe and a leather and textile upper. Reviews mention a narrow fit for some, so consider going up a half size if you have wide feet.
What is the flared heel for?
Nike designed it in 1977 to stabilize long-distance runners at footstrike. On the reissue it is mostly a styling cue, and some wearers find it feels unstable on stairs.
Is the outsole slip resistant?
No. The rubber waffle outsole provides traction on dry surfaces, but the shoe is not rated slip resistant.
What is in the box?
One pair of shoes with the laces already fitted. No extra insoles or accessories are included.
