There’s a common misconception among sneaker wearers that all sneakers are supposed to be comfortable, but when the snakes are being used outside of their intended purposes they can be more than uncomfortable; it takes a certain amount of break in period for each pair and the wrong shoes can cause pain and in some cases even blisters. If you’re paying good money for a pair of shoes, it seems a bit ridiculous that you are the one that has to conform to the sneakers.
In an attempt to alleviate these issues, footwear manufacturers have been hard at work to create sneakers that fit more naturally and comfortably, even going as far as creating sneakers that feel more like socks than shoes. One of the most prominent product that fit this description is the Nike Free Flyknit Chukka. Self-evident from its name, the chukka silhouette is made from a one-piece Flyknit upper that makes the shoe feel light and comfortable while providing lockdown and support for you feet. The move away from a Lunarlon sole of previous versions in favor of a Free midsole should increase the natural barefoot-like feeling of this shoe.
The pillowy cushion of the Air Max and all-day comfort of the Lunarlon is all well and good, but for the most natural movement that promotes better posture there’s nothing quite like the Nike Free Flyknit Chukka. Looks like we just found ourselves our new everyday pair for the tracks and the streets.
