Who should buy the Nike Flex TR 8
Meeting the needs of women in the high-intensity workout space, Nike brought to life the Flex TR 8. It is a solid option if:
- You are into various workouts and are looking for a shoe that delivers the support needed for such activities.
- You are after a shoe that prevents pain and discomfort.
Multisurface traction
A full-length foam rubber makes up the outsole of the Nike Flex TR 8. This compound is made durable and provides traction on most surfaces. It features the Nike Flex technology, which is made of deep thin slits that promote natural foot flexion.
The rubber pods are strategically placed in the high-wear areas of the outsole unit. They enhance the traction provided by the main outsole that prevents slippage. It also features the tri-star tread pattern which delivers a multidirectional grip.
The Nike Flex TR 8's midsole
The Nike Flex TR 8 employs a dual-density foam midsole. This type of cushioning has firm and soft areas, each serving different purposes. The firm portion supports the foot, adding lateral stability. As for the soft part, it attenuates shock that keeps the foot comfortable and protected. A very similar Flex unit is used in another women's workout shoe from Nike, called the Flex Supreme TR 6.
Inside is a molded insole. This thin component provides another layer of padding that reduces the shock that prevents any pain or discomfort to the lower extremities.
Breathable upper
The upper of the Nike Flex TR 8 utilizes a closed-hole mesh fabric. This lightweight material is breathable that keeps the foot chamber well-ventilated. It is engineered to be durable that withstands abrasion during intense workouts.
Snug lacing system
The footgear features no-sew medial and lateral panels that integrate with the lacing system. Together with the Flywire cables at the midfoot, they bring a snug but non-restricting fit. The panels and the wires also enhance the lateral support provided by the upper.
The lightly padded tongue protects the instep from the laces.
Anti-chafing collar
As for the slightly padded collar, it keeps the foot locked down and prevents chafing at the ankle area.
