This increases flexibility and mobility. As a result, you can wear these both daily runs or during high intensity workouts at the gym.

The 30th iteration of the classic stability running shoe continues to impress. The Gel-Kayano 30 comes with an additional 4mm of padding in comparison to previous versions of the shoes for an even cushier running surface to land on. Testers loved how much softer the new midsole felt and how springy the return was on their runs. It also has a broader base for added stability given the higher stack. Our testers noted that the wide base helped balance out that springy response with a stability similar to earlier models.

A sturdy, grippy, and durable shoe, the Brooks Glycerin balances comfort with a surprisingly responsive bounce. Add to that a relatively light 10 ounce weight and a wide, stable sole, and this shoe stands out as an ideal everyday trainer.

This gives it a much springier return than running shoes without it. Add to this an even bigger discount during Prime Big Deals Day and the shoes are hard to resist. Testers liked this particular model for its slightly sturdier cushioning as well, giving it more stability in comparison to the squishier foam in other New Balance options.

Our test team also took note of how well the mesh upper helped regulate temperature even on particularly hot days.

Same as the men’s version of the shoe, the Glycerin 20 from Brooks is an impressive shoe that keeps you comfortable during both daily and longer runs. We appreciate the breathable mesh on the upper, especially in the peak of summer.

After running in this shoe, our testers gave the Triumph 21 high ratings nearly across the board. The cushy trainer is great for both daily runs as well as the occasional long-distance jaunt, where it didn’t cause any foot pain in our experience. Expect a springy, responsive ride no matter the distance. Our testers loved how the cushioning, despite such a high stack, never made the shoe feel dense.

This zero-drop running shoe has a minimalist design that’s paired with maximalist cushioning. The Rivera 3 from Altra is a great introduction to zero-drop designs with the high stack cushioning offering a smoother, soft run as you adjust to the slightly different gait that having no drop demands. The wide toebox that Altra is known for helps keep your feet loose even with a snug midsection. Test editor Amanda Furrer Health - Injuries.

Asics (somewhat boldly) redesigned this long-standing favorite for its 30th iteration, and the result is incredible.

Testers founds the cushioning softer and more responsive than in previous models. They also noticed the internal guidance system added more stability without overwhelming their natural movement.

While Mizuno might not always be at the top of your mind for running shoes, the company has several high quality options including the Wave Rider.

Furthermore, the D-ring on the upper lets you latch on a gaiter for extra protection from the elements.

Our testers loved it as a perfect middle ground between heavy-duty hiking boots and lightweight (yet less durable) trail running shoes.
