Works great. Just don’t order from RunAway directly. Ordered on line from their website, and never received it. They were totally un-responsive to my emails.

I received this product as a Christmas gift. Ever since then, I ran about 2 times week. I would put the RunAway on before and take it off after each run. It worked successfully for about 9 months.

On the last run, I was going down a hill. While going down hill, the RunAway opened up on me. The Nike + Ipod Sensor and the top piece of the RunAway left my shoe. Luckily, they were later found on the side of that hill.

My girlfriend uses a Marware 7613-KCBK Sportsuit Sensor for Nike and iPod Sport Kit (Black), and has been using it for as long as I have been using the RunAway. It also is cheaper. I guess I am going to buy one of those now. Rating: 2 / 5

I have been using the Switcheasy adapter to attach my Nike+ to my shoe laces and it works great. It has never fallen off and seems to give accurate results with my iPod Touch.

I purchased this product a while ago- directly from their website. It was easy to install, maybe a little too easy. I had it on for maybe a month before I went for a run on a local trail. After finishing my run I noticed my shoe looked different- the adapter had unclipped and my sensor was gone! It is way too easy for this thing to fall off.

A better (and cheaper alternative): Cut the tongue of your shoe, insert the sensor, then sow it back up. Costs nothing, and you’ll never lose your sensor.

It is a nice product fits nice over the shoe, but it feels like it’s not very durable plastic. If you want to be discrete it is not a good option, as the sensor, althogh is protected is also completely visible.
