Best Shoes for Road Runs
Brooks Running Sneakers ($165): A trusted name in running shoes, the Brooks Glycerin 22 provide plush landings. Thanks to a double jacquard knit upper and laces you can custom tighten, you’ll always have the best fit.
Hoka Running Shoes ($170): Hoka shoes offer some of the best cushioning around. The Bondi 9 feature an all-new ultra-cushioned midsole that gives you a soft, resilient run on the road. With a lace up closure, cotton lining, and mesh upper that allows for breathability, you’ll love hitting the road in these runners.
On Running Sneakers ($150): Whether you’re running causally or for distance, these Cloudsurfers are light, breathable, and made with a bouncier and more responsive Helion superfoam. That means superior cushioning so your feet won’t take a beating.
ASICS Running Shoes ($165): Another well-cushioned option, the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 27 shoes make it feel like you’re running on a cloud. The overall shape of the shoe is designed to give you a softer and smoother run overall.
Best for Trail Runs: Hoka Speedgoat 6
If you’re hitting the trail, you’ll want these Hoka’s for trail running. The Speedgoat 6 ($155) were made for running and hiking. Thanks to a heel pull loop, you’ll always get them on and off easily. More importantly, these trail running shoes are ultra-stylish and come in a variety of colors so you’ll always feel like you’re putting your best foot forward.
Best for Treadmill Runs: New Balance FuelCell Rebel v4
New Balance shoes are functional and stylish. The FuelCell Rebel v4 ($140) have a lightweight cushioning that’s not only comfortable, but designed for treadmill runs. If you do happen to take them outdoors, the gusseted tongue is designed to help keep debris out. No matter where you’re running, these New Balances are the perfect athletic sneaker.
