Pango. Don't go to Payless Shoes. They have crappy ones.
But seriously you can buy ANY shoes. Nike+ shoes have a slot on the sole for the sensor, but there's also ways of using the sensor without the slot. You can buy a lil pouch (ebay, amazon, some running stores) for like 10 bucks that goes grabs to the laces of your shoes and that's it.
Check 5 posts above. Meeklo has been a long time Nike+ user with Nike+ shoes and he just bought some Asics. I started with the pouch as well before moving to real Nike+ shoes.

if you guys are obsessed with training like I am, daily mile does a great job of tracking mileage, creating route and has a really nice social component to it. It doesn't replace what nike+ does (and doesn't have the nano to keep you honest), but its a nice addition if you want to keep track of cycle miles and fit training. Let me know if you're on there so we can buddy up.
http://www.dailymile.com- Just registered and logged with map my run. Is it different?Dancer

logged 3k last night.
I have no chance of climbing to top 5 unless all of you bastards start running backwards...

im seriously resting now since 3 weeks. i wouldnt accept the damage so i kept running with the pain. eventually became too much. so now im just biking and doing non impact training on the legs.

^Have to agree with VM.
Bought these (after recommended on here). I roatate them in the ear (to lock in place) the wrong way but they still sit snug.I clip them onto the rear of my shirt neck, run them down the back of my shirt and out the righthand sleeve to where my ipod/iphone is.
Takes a while to set up but not wires flinging around.

Did my first Half Marathon today – a 1pm start and it was boiling. very hilly and apparently one of the tougher ones - "you will not get a PB" said the starter on the tannoy (?sp).
Completed it... just... 1hr 41mins, walked at 10mile.... and my Gf's little bro is in hospital over night after collapsing. Never underestimate the heat.
- wtf. You sound like this is a typical day at Dancer's house. Children collapse, people get hospitalized... but it's all good.VectorMasked

I love it when someone says that now, cause I can bring the article about the studies stating that all "functional running shoes" are just marketing gimmicks :)
"Dr Daniel Lieberman, professor of biological anthropology at Harvard University, has been studying the growing injury crisis in the developed world for some time and has come to a startling conclusion: ‘A lot of foot and knee injuries currently plaguing us are caused by people running with shoes that actually make our feet weak, cause us to over-pronate (ankle rotation) and give us knee problems."

Anyone having issues with the Nike+ website.

I also recommend those Senhaizer PMX 75. I got them after VectorMasked recommended them to me. I'm always amazed at how much stuff I can do without noticing these are even on.
whats the deal with the green!!!! i got mine in orange.
