Running shoes: six of the best pairs to buy
These running shoes offer both comfort and style, with prices ranging from £65 to £165
1. Blissfeel Women’s
Lululemon’s first running shoe is a “game-changer”. Aimed at lifestyle runners (rather than competitive athletes), it is designed specifically for women’s feet. It is unusually comfortable and springy, yet light and responsive.
2. Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22
These supremely supportive, comfortable women’s road-running shoes are supple and well-cushioned. They have excellent arch support for those who overpronate – when the ankle rolls inwards.

4. adidas Ultraboost 22
Available for men and women, adidas’s Ultraboost 22s are responsive and comfortable, with amazing grip. They also don’t need much breaking in.
5. Hoka Kawana
Kawana men’s running shoes have an extended swallowtail heel to reduce landing impact, and midsole foam for improved rebound.
6. Under Armour Flow Velociti Wind
These smart men’s shoes can be paired with Under Armour’s mobile app to give stats and real-time coaching. Good for speed and hilly routes, they are well-cushioned with a strong grip.
