Running Shoes

The eighth edition of the Arahi offers stability for everyday running and features an even more solid, powerful construction. Hoka added more foam, which increases the perceived softness, and increased the drop to 8mm without compromising the lightness. It is a good option for runners looking for a lightweight, stable shoe for everyday use, suitable for both short and long distances. It is a shoe that seamlessly combines control and comfort.

Until now, CEP has mainly been associated with compression gear. Now, the brand is venturing into new territory by making its first foray into running shoes. It’s a big debut—the Pro Run Omnispeed Bowtech model stands out with its unusual design and bold colors. This shoe is not only made to look cool and use new technology, but also to provide the right traits — in this case, dynamism and speed. Has it worked?

The Nike Vomero Plus is ideal for runners seeking maximum cushioning and stable support during long workouts.

The Brooks Ghost Max 3 is a heavily cushioned shoe designed for easy, everyday runs on asphalt. It combines softness and stability, and can handle both city routes and park paths.

The Asics GT-2000 14 is a stability training shoe designed for runners with slight overpronation or for those who need slightly more stability. This updated version offers several minor improvements. These include FF Blast Max foam, which provides a soft yet responsive feel. The new, thinner upper is also notable. While these are positive changes, the new GT-2000 14 does not stand out. It is a safe choice for runners who prefer support with a bit of bounce underfoot.

The new version of Saucony’s flagship model is all about comfort and softness. Its PWRRUN PB foam midsole provides maximum cushioning, allowing you to glide over hard surfaces. The upper?

For runners looking for the most comfortable everyday running shoe, this remains a strong contender for the top spot.

The Hoka Challenger 8 is a trail shoe that can handle hard surfaces.

It’s ideal for forest trails, gravel paths, and city streets alike.

The adidas Adizero Boston 13 is a shoe that combines the comfort of everyday training with the speed of racing shoes. It is lighter, stiffer, and more dynamic than classic training shoes, yet still comfortable for long runs. For some, it will be the perfect companion for faster runs; for others, it will be too tough a competitor. What has changed in version 13? First, the upper is now more comfortable.

The Brooks Ghost 17 is different from its predecessor, but at first glance, it’s just a classic, neutral training shoe. After a few kilometers, however, you’ll understand why the Ghost has such a loyal fan base. The Ghost is a model that doesn’t scream technological innovation yet still delivers what you expect from an everyday running shoe: reliability, comfort, and smoothness. Of course, in everyday performance.

Are you looking for a trail shoe that can handle everyday runs in the woods as well as more demanding trails?

The Asics Gel-Kayano 32 is a classic with a fresh new look. This iconic model for pronators focuses more on comfort and softness than concrete stability every year.

The Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 is a carbon racing shoe designed for maximum efficiency over distances ranging from 10 kilometers to a marathon. This updated version features a new geometry, a lighter upper, and a new IncrediRUN foam that is said to provide more energy return with every step. Does it deliver? It’s hard to say, but the shoe feels truly powerful in terms of softness and comfort. The same goes for bounce, responsiveness, and dynamics.

The Hoka Clifton 10 is a noticeable step up from the previous version. The increased amount of foam provides even more cushioning, which is especially noticeable on longer runs. The drop has been increased to 8mm, which, combined with a more aggressive rocker in the rear of the midsole, improves roll and dynamics. The upper has also been redesigned – it is now slightly wider, allowing for more space in the metatarsus and better adaptation to different foot types. The Clifton 10 retains the series’ signature softness, but adds new accents.

The adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra is a trail shoe that looks like it escaped from a road race and headed straight for mountain trails. It features Lightstrike Pro foam, Energy Rods, and an 8mm drop – solutions from road running shoes brought to the world of trail running. Add to that an aggressive outsole, a minimalist upper and a weight of around 261g. Sounds like a recipe for a fast trail killer. You bet it is!

Diadora Nucleo is back in its second edition. It still has that something that makes running around town a pleasure – only now it’s version 2.0. Comfort? Check. Dynamics? Not bad. Fun? Even more so. The Nucleo 2 is a soft companion for everyday runs, but it can also pick up the pace when needed. In short: if you liked the first version, you should like this one even more.

The fourth edition of Endorphin Pro is another improvement of this carbon starter. It is also a real change in what we get inside. The midsole now features not one but a combination of two foams: PWRRUN PB and PWRRUN HG. Changes have also been made to the upper, which has been slightly redesigned. This translates into a distinctly different feel when running. It’s still fast, but now with a little more comfort. Is it still a record-breaking shoe? Yes. Especially when it comes to distances from 5K to half marathons.
