Nike+ iPod Running Kit-don't have the shoes- is there comfortable way of wearing sensor on a different pair?
My dad bought me the Nike+ iPod running kit but I don't have the shoes to go with it. I do however have the Nike Air Max 360 but I'm having trouble finding a place to put the sensor that doesn't feel weird when i run. Has anyone found a comfortable way of attacting the sensor to a non-nike shock shoe?
I've attempted to cut an insert in the added arch supports but the sensor is too thick, i've also tried padding at the heel with a slot to put the sensor in but again too thick.
If i was to make an incision into the tongue of the shoe, and place the sensor in there, would the ipod be able to pick up the signal?
(Basically, does it have to be under the foot where it's receiving a direct impact or can it be anywhere on the shoe?)
Thank you in advance! 
I have the Nike + the ipod and there was no way that I would buy the shoes that go with them (I love my asics and I'm an avid runner) The sensor will pick up anywhere on the shoe. I bought velcro from the fabric store and placed the sticky side (you buy it this way) onto the back of the sensor- the other half of the velcro I actually sewed into the tongue- facing up so that the sensor would slip under the laces but be held by the velcro, not just the laces. I positioned it pretty high up on the tongue so I don't have to untie the entire shoe to place the sensor. Anywho- this has worked great for me. Trying to insert it into your shoe is just too difficult and you could actually end up giving yourself an injury by messing with the actual arch supports of your shoe- it would be like running with a rock in your shoe!
The velcro is super cheap and the fabric store attendents will help you find what you need (I'm no sewing genius!)
Good luck!
