Training 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.

The Nike Vomero Plus is ideal for runners seeking maximum cushioning and stable support during long workouts. Its ZoomX foam base is even larger than that of the classic Vomero model, providing a combination of soft landing and dynamic rebound. Currently, the Nike Vomero Plus is the most comfortable training shoe in the Nike lineup and one of the most luxurious running shoes in the world.

The Mizuno Wave Rider 29 is an everyday running shoe that combines the lightness of a sprinter with the endurance of a marathon runner. Its soft, nitrogen-infused Enerzy NXT foam provides lightweight cushioning. The distinctive Wave plate ensures smooth, stable steps. Like a good companion on a long journey, this model doesn’t impose itself but always supports you, whether you’re running five miles in the park or thirty on hard surfaces.

If you’re looking for a shoe that will ease the strain on your tired legs and help you cover miles effortlessly, the Ghost Max 3 could be just what you need.

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? It’s as soft as a luxury hotel duvet. Additionally, it weighs less than its predecessor yet still provides solid support, even on the longest runs. For runners looking for the most comfortable everyday running shoe, this remains a strong contender for the top spot.

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.

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.

It’s only new in name. Inside, it’s still the reliable companion you know and love for everyday running.

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.

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.

New Balance has proven for years that it can make shoes that pamper runners’ feet. The Fresh Foam More v5 is the next step in maximum comfort and cushioning.

The price is also worth mentioning, as this is one of the cheapest maximum cushioning trainers on the market.

The Asics Gel-Cumulus 27 is not revolutionary – it is still a familiar construction. The shoe is designed for everyday urban running at a moderate pace. It offers the same comfortable level of cushioning, solid stability and relatively low weight. The list of pros remains the same, as does the list of cons. The biggest drawback is still the outsole, which is not necessarily the most durable.

I wrote about its predecessor that it was a premium training shoe because the Vomero line had returned to its former glory. The Nike Vomero 18 continues that tradition, but in an even better version – the shoe is 7mm taller, which comes as no surprise. It has gained a little more cushioning while maintaining its softness, comfort and feel. Initial feedback suggests that the upper could be more breathable and the whole shoe lighter, but it is still a very good training shoe at a reasonable price.

The Diadora Atomo Star is a cushioned running shoe. This year they have become even softer – nitrogen infused foam makes them softer than ever before. It is also worth mentioning their unique origin – made from start to finish in Northern Italy, they stand out from mass production. Among Diadora shoes? Number one. Is it worth it? If you dream of running on clouds, yes.

Comfortable cushioning? You bet! Solid foot support? You bet! The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 is a classic running shoe that has combined comfort and support for years.
