Best for
The Winflo 12 gives Nike's dependable road trainer more underfoot than the 11 did: a higher stack of Cushlon 3.0 foam plus a Nike Air unit in the heel, over a 10 mm drop. An open-hole mesh upper, a widened toe box and flex grooves in the outsole round it out, all for comfort rather than speed.
It suits you if you want a neutral shoe for easy runs and everyday road miles, with plenty of cushion and room. It is a straightforward daily choice.
It is not a fast shoe, and it is not light. At 322 g it feels heavy for tempo work, and the simple build offers comfort rather than a lively ride.
