Which shoes for everyday running?
Running shoes from this category are a must-have for both amateur and professional runners. They are ideal for leisurely training on hard surfaces. They are designed primarily for shock absorption, safety and stability.
Overview of running shoes
Everyday running shoes differ in terms of their level of cushioning, i.e. softness and protection against shocks. Depending on your needs and foot type, you can choose between neutral and stabilizing shoes, which provide additional support for the foot in case of overpronation.
