Calibrate the Sensor: On first use in a pair of Nike+ ready shoes, you should calibrate the pedometer for your walking and/or running stride. This is an easy process if you have an outdoor track handy. Step by Step on Calibrating the Sensor
Nike+ Ready Shoes
The sensor will work most accurately when tucked safely and securely in the pocket under the sockliner of Nike+ ready shoes.
Nike Air Zoom Plus: Compare Prices: This lightweight cushioned shoe is meant for those with neutral gait.
Nike Air Moire: Review | Compare Prices: These are very lightweight shoes with a bit of cushioning, built much like the Nike Free 5.0 shoes but with cushioning. The sole is ultra-flexible, which would be good for racewalking. But it provides very little support and no motion control. Best used for shorter walks of up to 10 kilometers (6 miles) on track, treadmill, or sidewalks.
