Nike Air Zoom Moire

Much like the Nike Free 5.0, the extreme flexibility from the grooved sole allows your foot to move as it wishes, not how the shoe wishes. The upper is very much like the Nike Free 5.0, elastic and comfortable. The Nike Moire is ready for the Nike + iPod sensor. It has cushioning that the Nike Free lacks, and I found it worked fine for a 10 kilometer/6 mile walk on street, sidewalk, and light gravel.

The Nike Air Zoom Moire immediately calls to mind the best of the Nike Free 5.0 shoes, although with more cushioning. They are ready for the Nike + iPod sensor, with a pocket for it underneath the shoeliner filled with a plug.

Fit
The Nike Moire has a more generous toe box than most Nikes. They fit comfortably, although I still use only a thin sock with them.

Flexibility
The Nike Moire has many grooves in the outsole to allow the foot to flex naturally and roll through a step. Walkers more than runners need a flexible shoe to allow the foot to roll through a step. However, the grooves in the sole also pick up gravel.

Upper
The no-sew seamless upper is extremely comfortable. It feels great without socks. There is nothing to rub against your bunions. I struggle to find a shoe that won't bug my bunion, and this shoe left me with no complaints after a 2 hour walk.

Heel
The heel is a bit flared, which walkers don't need, but you are able to get a good heel plant with them and roll through the step due to the flexibility. The Zoom Air unit provides cushioning.

Verdict
These are a comfortable part of my shoe wardrobe, great for walks of up to 2 hours, or wearing around the office, school, or home.
