Performance TrainersPerformance Trainers
Performance Trainers provide a springy feel and make longer runs easier and faster runs faster. While quicker than Daily Trainers, Performance Trainers are not nearly as fast as Super Shoes. Due to a focus on keeping things light weight, Performance Trainers are less durable than Daily Trainers. These can also be a good option for one's first race shoe.

Cushioning Level
Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.

Stability Level

Neutral
Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have a built-in technology to correct movement.
-
Stable
Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.
Product Details:
The Nike Structure 26 is a comfortable and reliable choice for a stability shoe with a balanced ride. Starting with the upper, engineered mesh gives a breathable and supportive fit. The improved collar and tongue add plush, fitted comfort.
The midfoot support system surrounds the arch of the foot for a stable platform, and an internal midfoot support band brings additional security. A full-length ReactX midsole delivers responsive cushioning with a smooth transition.
Updated from the previous version, the outsole features larger segments of rubber, giving the shoe a wider base with innate stability. If you're looking for a supportive daily trainer, the Nike Structure 26 delivers the security you need with the comfort to carry you through your weekly miles.
