Choosing new running shoes? Don’t just grab the pair with the best reviews or coolest design 👟
A few things to look for:
Make sure there’s about a thumb’s width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Pay attention to how the shoe feels immediately. A good running shoe should feel comfortable from the start, you shouldn’t need to “break it in.”
Think about where you run most. Road shoes are built for pavement, while trail shoes offer more grip and stability for uneven terrain.
The best running shoe is the one that fits your foot, matches your training, and keeps you moving comfortably.
