Running Shoes
Running Shoes
Your feet do a lot of work when you run. A good running shoe should feel comfortable, provide the right amount of support and cushioning, and suit the surfaces and distances you run most often.
The best shoe isn't necessarily the one with the most technology. Fit, feel, cushioning, stability, and traction all matter, and different runners will prefer different combinations. Road shoes are generally built for pavement and hard surfaces, while trail shoes provide added grip and protection for uneven terrain.
If you're unsure where to start, our team can help you find a running shoe that suits your feet, your running style, and the terrain you spend the most time on.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I replace my running shoes?
There isn't one mileage number that works for everyone. Pay attention to changes in cushioning, comfort, traction, and the condition of the outsole and midsole. If your shoes no longer feel or perform the way they used to, it may be time for a new pair.
Do I need trail running shoes?
Trail shoes are worth considering if you regularly run on dirt, rocks, roots, mud, or other uneven surfaces. They typically have more aggressive tread and additional protection than road running shoes.
Should running shoes feel snug?
Running shoes should feel secure without squeezing your feet. You want enough room for your toes to move naturally, particularly because feet can swell during longer runs.
