Cut a whole for nike+ sensor in my shoes? Need nike+ shoes?

I heard you don't NEED a nike+ shoe to use nike+. It's just more conveniant. Anyways I've heard mixed things about nike for running so I personally enjoy asics and mizuno more. I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to:





-- Where (if not cutting the shoes)to place the nike+ sensor so it works good





-- Where and how to cut the shoe to place the sensor in.





I tried to cut an old pair of shoes, I took the sole off and traced the sensor shape then started using scissors to stab and cut but I couldn't make a nice pocket for the sensor...





Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

The transmitter doesn't need to be in the sole of the shoe. You can attach it to your shoe by using a key bag if you want. Or you can cut a hole into your tongue and sew it in there. The key is to make it as secure as possible. It measure acceleration, so if it jiggle around too much, the measurments will be off.





It is not a good idea to cut into the sole of a shoe. The nike+ shoes are designed with that hole in mind. Your shoes are not. By creating the hole, you will change the stresses on your shoe. This will likely shorten the life of your shoe significantly and could lead to some foot problems for you.





Good luck, it is a fun little toy.
