Review – Nike Dart 10 Running Shoes
Nike Dart 10 (Men) |
---|
This being my second pair of Nike running shoes, I thought I’d give them a review. Over 100 miles is a good indication of how a shoe feels and performs both on treadmill and road conditions. I have been running in Nike Dart 9 before (as you can see in the photo on the right), which I was very pleased with, so naturally, I followed on with Nike Dart 10. They may not be as flash as the previous pair but still look good.
Summary:
Great shoe for starters as well as amateur runners. Light and inexpensive. If you are a beginner, this shoe is just right for you. They provide very good support around the heel but more important for me, good space around the toes! However, the pair of Nike Dart 9 running shoes I had, looked better and I think I will always favour them as they were my first pair of proper running shoes. Nevertheless, Nike Dart 10 are a solid shoe. I have recently started testing Nike Dual Fusion Lite, so keep checking here for their review (they are super light compared to this pair!)

Tips When Buying Shoes
When buying your running shoes, go for a larger size. Not just a bit larger. At least a full size. Why? As you run, the energy in your step is pushed forwards and out through your toes. If your shoes are tight fit, that energy hits a wall and starts making its way back to your calfs and knees. It needs to be released out. Also, your foot has better movement on uneven surfaces, it will help to prevent twisting your ankle (the shoe may shift, but your foot will have enough freedom to move around in it and not bend as much with it).
Buy yourself lace locks. You will not need to ever again think of your laces coming undone.

Thanks Marek, very nice review, so if you have Facebook join me at https://www.facebook.com/TheRunningHeroes?ref=hl
Thanks Hazel!
Though your review was very good and helpful
Thanks very much Katie!
This running shoe seems to be causing the knee injury and pain as the outer sole is much wider than actual shoe (kind of Pyramid sole). If you walk on indoor in a plain floor it is fine. However if you walk/run in pavement/park, it cause may cause pain because the impact does not go up to the heel on uneven pavement. The impact rather goes side of outer and wider sole which shakes the knee joint.
This is a very subtle fault which may cause serious joint problem within few months.
Sami, how long have you been running in these shoes? If you have clocked greater mileage in them by now, chances are that side walls are weaker and you are not getting the right support. I had that in my Nike Dart 9 before. The other issue is, that if you are striking the ground with your heel, then you need to take a better look at your technique.

Hope this helps…
Hi Marek
Thanks for your reply. I am having this shoe for few months but don’t use them much because of knee pain. I have had other pairs of Nike shoes since last 5 years but had never knee pain.If the pain is relating to running technique I suppose I would have pain with other previous rerunning trainers.
Sadly Nike will never admit the fault because they may have to take out this faulty shoes from the market to protect the public health.
This shoes are the trash. During two months both heels broke, then side small nets too. Half year past the toe starts came off. My previous boots were nike too. They resist for long time, water, blackberry, mud, i thought these too. I will never buy nike next time.
