Fit, cushioning, drop, weight and outsole grip all matter. The best shoe depends on your foot shape, mileage, surface and injury history.
Look for balanced cushioning, 8-10 mm drop and durable rubber outsoles. These are the workhorses for easy and long runs.
Trail shoes add aggressive lugs, toe protection and water-resistant uppers for off-road terrain.
Carbon-plated super shoes offer energy return and speed for race day, but wear them sparingly to protect your legs and wallet.
Track your shoe mileage in Trakon and replace shoes every 500-800 km to reduce injury risk.
