Switcheasy RunAway Nike+ iPod Anyshoe Adapter - Color Crystal Reviews

• decent Nike+ holder, kinda noisy, feels flimsy on the shoe...

  I own LaceLids but they are not interchangeable and I thought this item would be great for changing shoes (a girl's gotta have options, right?!?) While it's a great concept, I did use it once and felt that it wasn't sturdy... noisy clattering coming from my shoe made me nervous that it was going to fall off. I read one comment that it fell off during a trail run, and while my runs are usually confined to the treadmill at a local gym, I do 10k runs monthly... so I am concerned. I think I'll stick with my LaceLids and just buy them in bulk... They are very secure.
  
  

• BEWARe-- not secure!

  The sleek, good looking design attracted me to this product, but unfortunately it lasted all of about a mile and the top piece (along with my Nike plus transmitter) was gone. I guess I should have put some tape around it to be sure, but I figured it was designed for running and didn't expect it to break open so easily! Now I'm out $30 for a new Nike plus :( Don't let it happen to you!
  
  

• The most convenient shoe adapter available

  I now have about 300 miles on the Switcheasy RunAway and it has been flawless. Its best features:
  1. Easy to take on and off shoes in an instant. Just pull and turn to unclip from your laces. Yet it's quite secure as it locks on.
  2. It has an easy access button so that you can turn your sensor OFF when not in use to save its battery. The marware doesn't do this.
  3. comes in many crystal colors to match your shoes (perhaps not really important)
  4. the newer 'crystal' version is a slight redesign which is more secure, rugged and easier.
  5. comes with a cap for the ipod adapter, that fits snugly in the RunAway for easy storage of the whole nike+ipod gadget.
  
  I tried running with the sensor under the footbed, but that didn't really work, and I'm not a Nike shoe guy. So, this clips easily on to my Saucony and Brooks running shoes. Yeah!

  I received this product as a Christmas gift. Ever since then, I ran about 2 times week. I would put the RunAway on before and take it off after each run. It worked successfully for about 9 months.
  
  On the last run, I was going down a hill. While going down hill, the RunAway opened up on me. The Nike + Ipod Sensor and the top piece of the RunAway left my shoe. Luckily, they were later found on the side of that hill.
  
  My girlfriend uses a Marware 7613-KCBK Sportsuit Sensor for Nike and iPod Sport Kit (Black), and has been using it for as long as I have been using the RunAway. It also is cheaper. I guess I am going to buy one of those now.
