My biggest beef with the sport kit is that the battery in the sensor only lasts for 6 mos or so and is not replaceable. Once the battery is gone you need to buy a whole new sport kit.

I love my Shoe Pouch. Its small and accurate and very secure thru the laces. Plus its the least expensive. http://www.shoepouch.com.

You can also try this:

Its a pouch for the sensor which completely protects it. It works well – I have this same one!

Your review rocks! I am completely loving Nike+iPod, way more than I thought I would.

$29 each time yes. But the battery life is 1000 hours so that is a lot of running

Take a look at http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/17/nike-ipod-works-with-any-shoe-the-99-cent-diy-shoe-mod/ for one way to try this with any shoe.

My understanding is that the battery in the pod is not replaceable. To me that makes the $29 for the kit a little less attractive if I have to shell out another $29 each time the battery runs down.

Abdeel or anyone, can you point me to a site (or any resource) that might have information about using the Nike Sports Kit with any shoe?

How sad is it that I STILL have not taken the Nike+iPod SportKit and the new pair of Nike Air Moires – which the kind folks at Nike gave me to review – out of their respective packages?

My review isn’t due until Oct. 1. So I still have a little time to ran sans iPod …..

People are picky about shoes, so I would like to point out that if you don’t want one of the Nike+ shoes, you can try putting the gizmo in a shoe wallet (meant for carrying keys) on your shoe laces. I’ve sold a few kits to people who intended to do that. I don’t know if it actually works that way, but no one has come back to try and return it. If anyone has tried this, how does the system work?

On the other hand, the Air Moire is a great shoe that I would buy even without the kit.
