Nike Shox Monster Review

Overall Rating

Comfort reserved for Gods, supportive, easy to clean, good looks. The Shox system really is amazing. This sneaker HAS NO EQUAL.

Expensive, but you know what? Now that I've worn them, I would pay double for another pair. Triple even. Only a Porsche could make me feel as good as these shoes, so I guess at $85,215 less, these sneakers are a bargain.

Nike Shox Monster - I suffer from Planter's Fachiitis, so I require a quality sneaker if I don't want to limp, so I was all set to buy a pair of $79 Adidas sneakers that were comfortable, had good arch support, and were lightweight. Then, I mentioned Shox to the salesguy. His store did not sell them, but he told me that he had tried them, and they were THE sneaker. His coworkers had them and agreed that they were not just hype, they really were uber comfortable. So I figured I'd try them. I left the Adidas' there and proceeded to a store with the Shox. I happily shelled out $169 within minutes. I've always had Nikes and had good luck (I wore ACGs for 2 years, then they spent a year in police lockup as evidence, then another 2 years of wear before they finally got holes). So when the Shox running shoes made me feel as though I was walking around on a store sized mattress, I had to get them. My heel pain disappeared. I wanted to walk 100 miles right then and there. The price was a deterrent until I tried them, then it was trivial. Anybody with heel or back pain should shell out the bucks for these. Leave your custom orthotics at the doctor's. They probably cost more anyway.

  I am working in a child care. Nike Shox is the best shoes to wear during my working time. However, due to my job, the shoes are getting dirty easily and I am really wondering how to clean them. I heard that Nike Shox are not suppose to be washed in the washing machine. I tried to spray the "instant sneaker cleaner spray" that I bought from a sporty house, sadly it didn't help much. Next, I tried to use some eucalyptus oil, again it didn't react at all. Finally I tried to hand wash slowly. Still ongoing process, yet no idea if it really works. Gotta spend so much time in it. Does anyone can share with me how to clean my lovely Nike Shox in easier and effective way? In advance, thank you very much.
