"Perfect Solution for using non-Nike+ shoes with your Nike+iPod System"

I already own one of these and its good to see they are selling them on Amazon. I wanted another for my other pair of shoes. When you purchase a Nike+iPod kit, you may not know that there is a sensor that goes into a special Nike+ shoe. Though I like Nike, I run in different shoes. This product allows you to use the Nike+iPod with any shoe. A big concern is maintaining the accuracy of the sensor and with the design of the Shoe Pouch, the sensor is snug to your shoe, laced through your laces, and completely covered with the neoprene. I also like that it is so low profile and soft that you do not notice it on your shoe. It does not rock, move, or unclick as I have seen with other products that are coming out for this. Before I got the Shoe Pouch, I did try to use the Nike+ sensor by placing it under my laces, and though it does work, it came out from under my laces, and I had to backtrack to find it (twice). So for a few bucks, this product works perfectly and I give it 5 stars and the customer service is excellent. 5 stars

"Too bad Nike/ipod didn't just begin the Nike+ marketing with this!"

I have been running for a long time, track in high school and down the road today, and have never had great luck with the way Nikes fit my feet. I was enamored by the Nike+ipod capabilities, almost to the point of buying the 'special' Nikes until I saw this product. The shoe pouch just straps into your shoelaces. It's great to be able to put on the shoes that are most fitting and get the benefits of the Nike+ program as well. 5 stars

"Oh Yeah!"

Finally!
I was hesitant about spending money on a new pair of running shoes just so that I could use my Nike+ with my ipod. So when my husband bought me a pair of Nike+ I really wanted to like them. Unfortunately they just weren't as comfortable as my regular running shoes. After trying a few different pairs I gave up. I saw an ad for a shoe pouch for the sensor that looked about the same size as the shoe pouch that I already had, so I tried it. It worked but the accuracy was way off. The pouch was so big that the sensor bounced around too much and only 9 out of the 10 miles that I ran were measured. Oddly enough my husband had the same trouble when he was running with his Nike+ shoes. I thought maybe the sensor was bad, but once I got my Shoe Pouch and took it to the track I found that it was far more accurate than the bigger pouch and even the shoes. I don't know why the shoes wouldn't work, but that's just one person's experience!
Thanks 5 stars

"Great Product"

I've had the Nike Plus Running gear for over a year now and I really hated being restricted to using Nike Shoes. This product really works. I was a little skeptical at first but the pouch fit right on the top of my shoe and it works as if I was using a normal Nike Shoe. Would definietly recommend this to anyone who really likes the Nike Plus Gear but not a huge fan of Nike Shoes 5 stars

"Works great"

I tried to velcro the sensor to my shoe and it seemed stable but was completely inaccurate. Then I got one of these pouches and problem solved. Works perfectly. 5 stars
