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 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.
At A Glance:

- Top-to-bottom support features to reduce overpronation
- Multiple elements that prioritize midfoot lockdown
- Taller, lighter, and bouncier than the standard Structure
Product Highlights:
The Nike Structure Plus is a highly stacked daily trainer for runners with overpronation or anyone seeking more support. With a bottom layer of trusted ReactX foam for support, plus a top layer of ZoomX superfoam for energetic bounce, the Structure Plus helps you feel confident and comfortable. The bottom layer acts as a stabilizing carrier, with high sidewalls creating a bucket seat for your foot. Coupled with a reinforced arch area, this means your strides are steadied for every step of long weekday miles.
Further design choices go the extra distance for easy-rolling foot strikes. A midfoot band provides enhanced lockdown, as the shoe wraps your heel and arch to help stabilize your ankle and guide smooth transitions. Overlays add structure to the breathable mesh upper, while the plush tongue and collar elevate your comfort to get the run done, even on tired legs.
In the outsole, two different rubber compounds make sure you get what you need, where you need it. In the forefoot, a softer rubber compound eases your steps, while the high-abrasion rubber in the heel and midfoot offers enhanced durability.
Injecting fresh superfoam energy to stability running shoes, this standout shoe blends fun bounce with trusted support for you to enjoy all your weekly miles. If you've craved a stability daily trainer that feels fast, fun, and smooth, the Nike Structure Plus is ready for you to lace up and feel the difference.
