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.
