Shoe Pouch Holder for Nike+ iPod Sensor - Purple
Manufacturer Part Number: ShoePouchV2-Purple
The Shoe Pouch was designed allow runners and walkers to use the Nike+iPod Sport Kit®, which is an excellent product in our opinion (NOTE: the Nike+iPod Sport Kit® is sold separately). Included with this Sport Kit is a sensor that fits inside specially designed Nike® shoes (called Nike+®), which cost around $100 USD. But what about people who currently wear other brands of athletic shoes, including Asics®, New Balance®, Reebok®, Saucony®, or even other Nike® brands? Should they be required to spend another $100 just to have the privilege of using this Sport Kit?
In a word...NO.
When designing the Shoe Pouch™, our primary goal was to ensure a very snug fit. Not only does this minimize the risk of the sensor falling out while exercising, it also allows the sensor to transmit accurate data. Competing products use Velcro® to secure themselves, but a sensor enclosed in such products will tend to bounce up and down when your shoe strikes the ground, and this is what produces inaccurate data.
We took a different approach to securing the Shoe Pouch™ to the outside of your shoe:
• You attach it through your shoelaces, not over and under them. We upgraded the loop design to be super strong nylon for extra durability
• We use a stretchable fabric (neoprene) with a slit barely wide enough to enclose the sensor. You will definitely feel some resistance when inserting the sensor. For extra security we added some Velcro® to cover the slit.
