How to choose the right running shoes

The best running shoe is the one that disappears under your feet.

Think about the surface

Road shoes are light and smooth. Trail shoes add grip and a tougher upper.

Match the cushioning to the run

Soft and bouncy for long easy miles. Firm and responsive for tempo days and races.

Rotate two pairs and your legs will thank you.

Get the fit right

A thumb's width of space at the toe, a locked-in heel and no pressure across the top of the foot.
