In 2002, they examined a group of men and women with pressure measuring insoles taped to their feet, using high-speed cameras to capture images of each foot in motion.The team spent eight years studying the biomechanics of shoeless running. The results yielded a profound understanding of the foot's natural landing angle, pressure and toe position, allowing Nike designers to build an unconventional and flexible running shoe from the inside out. Review: Great for travel - I bought these to replace another pair of the Nike 5.0 TR Fit 4 Breathe. The Breathe are extremely comfortable and light - great for travel, long days at amusement parks, and light running. Although these are a little snug on my wider than average foot, they share all the other positive traits of the Breathe and I think they will stretch over time. FYI, the black is not an inky black; against the pink it can look ultra-dark purple-grey. Review: Comfy - They are lite to the feet and are very comfy. My daughter just love the feel of them. Very flexible and cool. One happy young lady.
