It doesn’t matter if you are running a marathon, targeting the local park, or just want to run around the block without leaving your lunch on the sidewalk. When you run, you need special running shoes. Unlike the dusty Dunlops in the attic, running shoes and sneakers make kilometers easier, faster, and more comfortable, and can even help you avoid injury.
Fortunately, we benefit from a golden age of innovation, in which brands invest heavily in research and development and think outside the box in design. New midsole foams provide cushioning and energy recovery, carbon footplates drive us forward and woven tops with anatomically shaped tensioning elements weigh our feet like never before.
And there is a style that fits the substance. While retro runners feel the love for refined sneakers, new high-performance models appear as classics in the out-of-the-box style. With so many running shoes with so different design and performance characteristics, however, finding the perfect fit for your specific needs and preferences can be difficult.
What kind of running shoes do you need?
To get the most out of your running, it is not enough that your shoes are only suitable for running. They have to be especially suitable for you as a runner. According to Jane Vongvorachoti, Olympic marathon runner and running trainer, it is crucial to find the right shoe for you. Don’t buy a shoe just because it’s “in” or because you see some top runners wearing it.

And, as a matter of fact, different types of shoes can fit these different types of running shoes. Gentry said he thought it’s a good idea to have at least a few pairs of shoes. He wore the lighter, more responsive Nike Epic React for quick training and the padded and supportive Zoom Pegasus for my longer, slower runs.
If you invest in additional shoes, you may also save money.

Research by the sports medicine research laboratory in Luxembourg showed that runners who rotated different shoes had 39 percent fewer injuries than runners who wore the same pair every run. The scientists assume that different shoes distribute the repetitive impact forces when running slightly differently and thus reduce the repetitive stress on your tendons and tissues.
