How to choose the right running shoes for you？
February 10, 2022
Road-running shoes are designed for pavement and occasional forays onto packed surfaces with slight irregularities.
Light and flexible, they're made to cushion or stabilize feet during repetitive strides on hard, even surfaces.
Best for people who run on sidewalks, road, treadmills or track.
Road-running shoes have flatter, smoother soles to create a consistent surface for running on paved roads.
Trail-running shoes are designed for off-road routes with rocks, mud, roots or other obstacles.
They have bigger lugs (the “cleats” on the outsole) than road-running shoes for better grip on uneven terrain.
They are sometimes fortified with plates underfoot to help protect your feet from rocks or sharp objects.
They’re generally stiffer through the midsoles for more support on rugged trails and uneven surfaces.
Cross-training shoes are designed for gym workouts, cross-training or any balance activity where having more
contact with the ground is preferred over a thick platform sole.
