does this product work with non-Nike shoes? Can the sensor "fit" in a non-Nike shoe?

Best Answer
Yes, you can just put it in your laces of any shoe. I bought a little pouch for about £8 from a general sports shop, that the sensor fits into. The pouch goes into your laces so that you don't have to worry about the sensor falling out.

Best Answer
I'm not sure if there are other shoes that support the sensor but Nike sells a pouch which ties into the shoe laces of any shoe. The cost is around $10 and it is serves the same purpose as any Nike + shoes.

Does this add any functionality to the 7th-gen iPod nano?
The seventh-generation iPod nano that Apple announced today has tech specs which list it as not requiring the receiver that plugs into the dock connector of other iPods and older nanos, nor does it require the sensor that is inserted into Nike shoes.
I'm curious how the new iPod nano tracks distance and pace if it doesn't have the shoe sensor. So to ask clearly, does the new iPod nano (announced October 2011) replace all of the functionality of the Nike + iPod Sport Kit? How does it work? Thanks!- Asked by Jackson H from Avon

If i have an ipod touch, which has the sensor built in, can i just buy the sensor but not the whole sport kit?

Best Answer
With a Touch you don't need the reciever. I justed wated the extra bucks because the web site and the local Apple Store people told be I needed the sport pack. Just buy the reciever, go to setting and turn on the Nike + application. Self explanatory from there.

hello
i am worrying about the same thing. however, i am a frequent runner and have noticed that my ipod nano 6th blue is not always accurate. and it is mostly inaccurate so with the help of the sport kit and the sensor you will achieve better accuracy. all i have found out is the accuracy however since i did buy the cool new nike plus shows it will be nice to have a sensor. :D- Answered by Suleman S from Glendale

Best Answer
Yes, but you don't need the receiver (the white part) since the iPod touch has the receiver built in already (since the 2nd version). You can just buy the red sensor by itself.

What is the difference to what is built into the newest iPod nano?
The iPod nano has a pedometer built in, doesn't it? What do I need this for? Is there a difference?
- Asked by Marian S
- Oct 11, 2009
- Flag as inappropriate
Best Answer
According to Apple's support pages you still need to plug in the little receiver and put the sensor in your shoe to get the Nike+ interface to show up on the newest Nano (5th Generation). The Nano does have a basic pedometer built in but it isn't as advanced and interactive as the Nike+ version.
for some reason i i am not allowed to post the direct link to the support page on apple's site that shows the details. However, if you google
"Differences Pedometer Nike", it should be the top hit. Good luck.- Answered by William T from Brighton
