I work at a running store, and I recently was given a pair of the Nike Luna Racers. Just trying them and on and jogging around in them they seem pretty revolutionary. More cushion then I've ever felt in anything that light. Anyone else worn them? Any thoughts?
I have a pair of the Lunar Trainers - love them, used them for runs of 20 - 38km and the weight is the same as most racing flats with so much responsiveness and cushioning!!!
Trying to get a pair if the racers, 100grams lighter for up coming marathon....
Any stability to 'em? 100 gram difference? How heavy are the trainers?
Are the trainers available anywhere yet?
The Luna Racers are great for walking, but too soft and mushy for running. Made my quads sore. It seems like Nike just threw on a 1-inch slab of mush, without putting much thought into how it affects mechanics. This shoe would be perfect if they halved the midsole, getting you closer to the ground and a firmer feel, while still having the same cushy feeling. This would also make it the lightest shoe on the market.
i have tha trainers. They are the ugliest pieces of foam and fabric i've ever seen. But they are the most comfortable shoe I've worn in all of days as a retired just-for-fun jogger. I would rather swallow a large package of shoelaces than go without a pair of those things on one of my long runs. Give em a chance!

Thats weird I have had two pairs of them and use them as a daily trainer. I have no problems with quads at all, although I do bike quite a bit and am right around 139 lbs. good shoes for me sorry they dont work for you.
