So no baggy required. I'm a Shoe Pouch user, and love it. Why did I pick that one? The lacelid looked like it would fall out, the runaway(switcheasy) looked like it could become unclicked or rock around (which I've seen on other posts). Marware looked good too, but it was twice the price of the Shoe Pouch when you include shipping and not as low profile. Didn't feel like losing it with taping, under the laces or sewing a thingie myself, I tried the laces/sock and lost it twice and had to backtrack to find it. From my looking around, it appears that its important for the sensor to be tight to the shoe and not rock around since it counts the foot strikes. Hope that helps.

Thanks! That was perfect timing after the holidays. I'll consider Nike shoes for my next pair to go with my new kit, but usually they are too narrow for my feet. In the meantime, I just whipped up a little sensor holder for my new + kit by knitting up something similar to the sensor cosy (thanks also to a-go-go). http://podophile.com/2006/11/30/nike-ipod-shoe-hack-and-sensor-accessory-round-up/ One thought is this outside mounting might not work for wet weather.. don't think the sensor is waterproof so it probably will need to be inside of a baggy when it rains. So far the nikeplus site is real handy and pretty to look at. I wish they let you comment on the individual workouts. Also it can be slow sometimes. The goal setting and virtual reward area feature is inspiring, can't wait to collect a few completed goals! Awesome post! Thanks! That was perfect timing after the holidays.

Using Nike+, consumers can track miles, pace, time and calories burned, and the system’s software charts individual’s progress on a PC and online. So, when declaring a challenge via Nikeplus.com, hiding from your resolution – or your peers – is no longer an option. And if simply seeing oneself fall short online isn’t motivation enough, after January 31st Nike will begin posting the consequences of those unaccomplished challenges on the site as shared by the runners themselves. They already have a few up there. You can see them at http://www.nike.com/nikeplus/#events.
