Nike Prominas emphasize cushioning for relaxed walks and comfort as you go about your day. While they provide stability, they aren’t rigid in the way that hiking boots might be—these are relaxed shoes for everyday walking and wear. Both the front step-off and heel strike areas are made to withstand increased traction, and the high-stack cushion means ultra-cushioned steps.
Reviewers say the Nike Promina holds up to expectations in the real world. “I work in a warehouse and walk between 28,000 to 30,000 steps a day,” a shopper began. “I needed some shoes that were comfortable, not too soft and not too stiff,” and they said after wearing the Promina, “My feet were not fatigued and sore after my shift. I would recommend these for standing on your feet for 10 or more hours a day.”

Wearers were also quick to draw comparisons between the Promina and more expensive shoes. One shopper, who said the Prominas have “great arch support” and have reduced their calf cramps, said that the shoes are “way more comfortable than Hokas.” Another shopper called them “very comfortable” and said that if you like the $210 Nike Vapor Max, “you’ll love these.”
