Heel to toe drop: 10 mm Weight: 9 oz Price: $120 Comparable shoes: Asics 2000, Brooks Adrenaline Company says: From the Flymesh upper to the triple-density foam midsole, the Nike Air Zoom Structure 19 Women's Running Shoe offers plenty of support and the response you need for a smooth, stable ride that feels ultra fast.
