i got a question. lets say i buy the nike sensor thing. do i have to buy the shoes or can i just put it on my pocket. also like if i leave my ipod at home but take the sensor thing to school on the shoes will it still work if my ipod is at home? and btw my school is a litle bit farther than 1 mile. so will it work?
okay so i tried this and ran for atleast 3 miles and the ipod said i ran zero miles but it did log my minutes =( do you have any idea what is up with that?
Nike used to make good running shoes, but there are better ones available now. I just got some Vibratims that AREN'T the toe shoes and I am anxious to try them out. They are very light and I want to get the pouch to hold my iPod sensor.
Or you could just buy Nikes???? Or not get anything apple cuz you look like a fucking nike wannsbe idiot with nike taped to ur shoe fukkin scrubs. If i see any body run like that imma trip their ass and bury them.
@xX360xVIDEOSXx I'm not being cheap, not everyone likes Nike shoes, but unfortunately Nike's are the only ones that have the sensor compartment. Personally I like Adidas, Asics and New Balance more than Nike
@iamjames2 You can buy a pouch for around $2 with free shipping from Amazon. And I agree, Nike makes (imo) the best *looking* sneakers. But when it comes to running I'm more of a New Balance kind of guy since they are much more comfortable. Oh, and @xX360xVIDEOSXx $160 is waaay too much to be paying for shoes (especially Nikes). You should stick to regular Nikes (not Air Jordan) and you'd save your mommy tons of money ;)
@iamjames2 the sensor actually fits into the adidas micoach compartment in my supernova glides. so you can still use the nike plus system if you prefer adidas :)
@JIMMY02F4I No it's not that we're cheap with our money. I run in Asics because they are much more cushioned and hold up for the run better than Nike. I run for long distances and with Asics I don't have to worry about aching feet or throbbing knees. This is great for people like me who can't run in Nike's.
actually this method is not gonna work. the accelerometer inside the sensor serves to detect whenever the runner’s foot is in contact with the ground. Because of the piezoelectric nature of the material in the sensor, it produces an electrical current whenever it is compressed by the runner’s weight on the ground. It is this current that can be detected by other sensors. So as long as pressure is involved, the sensor has to stay under your foot to give u more accurate stats. hope it helps ;)
@SonnyFB42 Some people prefer to run with their own shoes is the problem with this. For me, I don't use Nike shoes because I've yet to find a pair that fit my feet right.
I'm skeptical of both this method and the pouch. I have the proper nike+ shoes and I even had to use sticky tape with those to stop it from moving around and giving false readings. I find it difficult to see how this could be giving accurate readings.
Also, you say it is an accelerometer. I thought it worked by counting steps on impact which is why it fails unless calibrated for the pace you intend to run at.
I've been searching for what those were! I got them free at a 5k run and when I replaced the shoes I went to buy more. NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF THEM. Went to all the large sporting goods stores in the big city and employees just looked at me funny when I described them.
I have purchased six different pairs of running shoes this year and Nike was one of them and they were not for me. My Asics gel Foundations work for me and today I tried this with my Nike + and it worked. The sensor stayed on my shoe no problem..I sewed the velcro on. Why spend money on shoes that don't work for you or a pouch? This works.
dude just get a nike plus shoe. Just about every nike running shoe no matter what the price comes with the dock. I accidentally bought a nike plus shoe so c'mon.
There are many other good shoes out there that aren't Nike. Some are much better too, depending on your foot. I can't find any pair of Nikes anywhere near as comfortable as my Asics Gel Nimbus' (editors choice by runners world, btw). It's all about what your foot likes and how much running you do.
Or you can spend 10 bucks for a Nathan pouch that attaches to the laces. Keep's it dry and easily moves to 2nd pair of shoes if you alternate. Just sayin...
it works for both the nano and itouch. on the second gen itouch it will read the sensor without the need for the ipod adapter as for the first gen itouch im not sure if it will even work with the nike+
i've had it on there for 300 miles. Works fine. The velcro and shoestrings hold it down nicely. Depends on the shoes though, you have to have shoes the velcro can latch onto.
i tape on my feet.
