For those of you using the shoe pouch thingy, you could attach the pouch below the laces instead of above them.

It figures that after I would make my suggestion I would discover the rest of the pages where there is a produce doing what I suggested.

Have you considered gluing a couple of eye hooks to the transmitter? You could then lace the transmitter to the shoe.

Thank you very much for your sharing!! Your method can help me to save lots of money and more importantly I prefer to run on my Mizuno running shoes rather than Nike running shoes. Your method can greatly solved my puzzle. However, may I know what kind of glue did you use to stick the velcro onto the transmitter in order to make it stick strongly on it? Thanks million for your reply in advance.

My husband and I share an IPOD. Can we both get our own Nike + and use them both with the same IPOD? We have a Garmin, but are getting tired of it shutting off mid run so we are checking out our options. Thanks.

Hi,

I just got my Nike+, and I tried running with the sensor in a few different places. I usually run ~10 minute miles, but depending on where I put the sensor, it read between 5 min/mile and 25 min/mile!

I tried running with the sensor in the ankle band of my sock. It told me I was running ~25 minute miles, or it just couldn’t get a signal altogether (–:–). I guess it is very important to have the sensor parallel to the ground.

I also tried running with the sensor behind my laces and off to the side a bit (so at an angle to the ground), because I thought it might be more likely to stay in (I hadn’t discovered the shoe hacks yet!). That’s when it told me I was running 5 minute miles. Also, it was pretty inconsistent, between 5 and 8 minute miles, so I think even if you calibrated it with the sensor off to the side, it still wouldn’t work very well.

Finally, I put it in the front center of my laces, like Podophile has it in his shoe hack, and it is off by 10% but very consistent. Now I’m going to calibrate it, and hopefully then it will be right on.

But, basically, what I’ve learned is that it’s VERY, VERY sensitive to where you put the sensor in your shoe. Front and center is the best, and as close to parallel to the ground as possible.

Anyways, hope this helps!

hey i have a pair of nike air max total 365 and the laces are on an angle will this affect the readings or not because it is not facing straight up???.

Paul: No need for a wristband…just put the sensor in the ankleband of your sock. Anyway, you’re idea may work, but you’ll get the best accuracy results by having the sensor face up, flat, and as close to the ground as possible.

I was just reading all the comments about the mod for any shoe. I have a suggestion that I haven’t seen anyone suggest. Do you thing you could take a wristband and put the nike senser under it and put it around your upper ankle area and still be accurate? let me know what you think about that.
