Nike+ iPod Nano Shoe Mod

Step 9 Placement/Finished!

Hooray! After about 30 minutes of work, a lot of measuring, and some sanding with a Dremel, your sensor should fit (if you measured correctly). Before you're completely done, make sure to check and double check the depth of the sensor when in the hole. In my case, the sensor rested about 1/16" below the rest of the padding. It's also a smart idea to put in the removable sole and walk around in the shoe to make sure it feels alright (as far as depth goes). In my case, I couldn't even tell it was there.

Clean out the dust, and make sure the sensor fits snug. It should not move around within it's hole or you'll get inaccurate readings. Place the removable sole over the sensor and you're set.

Nike does recommend taking the sensor out when you're not running to save on battery life. For someone like myself who runs a lot, these are strictly running shoes, so I don't have to worry about that. I can't say what the shoe would feel like without the sensor in place, so if you plan on removing it you may have to mod a small piece of rubber to fit in the hole.

I might have a solution for people who might want to remove the sensor. Some of the Nike+ sneakers come with this little foam piece that goes where the sensor should be when you're not using it. If any has it and wants to try it let me know if it works.
