Brooks running shoes are known for being plush and comfortable, and the Ghost 14 ticks those boxes, especially on long runs.
The Ghost 14 is a brilliant shoe for all genders, but we’ve given it the top spot for women here because of tweaks in the fitting to make it extremely comfortable, even on testers with higher arches. If we look at Brooks as an example, the standard size for women is a B width, whereas the standard for men is a D. The differences might not be obvious to the naked eye, but women’s shoes are designed for a woman’s foot, which is often smaller and narrower than a man’s. It’s a long-running myth in the shoe world that men’s and women’s running shoes are just different colors. įaster runners might struggle with this shoe That said, if your goal is to get going, or get around the course, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more comfortable shoe to do this in. The main downside we found is that the Glycerin isn’t the cheapest everyday running shoe on this list, especially when it's not the most versatile. Available in a number of different sizes, the shoe also comes in the three different widths - medium (which is the standard), wide, and narrow, and a support version, which Brooks has named 'GTS'. The Glycerin 20 is our favorite version of the shoe yet - Brooks has replaced the DNA Loft midsole foam with the DNA Loft V3, a lighter, poppier, nitrogen-infused midsole foam that Brooks first brought to market last year in the Aurora-BL.ĭuring testing, we found that while it's definitely best suited for long, easy miles, the Glycerin 20 can still pick up the pace when you need it to. Known as being Brooks’ ‘softest shoe’, the Glycerin is one of the most popular running shoes around, and for good reason. Ĭheaper everyday running shoes on the market
Read our full New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 review. While this won't bother you when you get the correct size, it's frustrating for runners, especially if shopping online. The downside here is that the shoe runs big - in fact, we'd recommend going down half a size in these shoes as they are extremely roomy. Fit-wise, we found during testing it was a huge improvement on the 1080v11, as New Balance has scrapped the molded heel, which was wildly controversial with fans of the shoe. Plus, if you’re looking for that one pair, the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v12 is a brilliant shoe to invest in.Ī seriously versatile shoe, the New Balance 1080v12 is soft and plush enough to keep you comfy on your long runs, but can also pick up the pace when you need it for faster tempo sessions. While some people might invest in multiple pairs for different sessions, if you’re new to running or are on a budget, you’ll still be able to build fitness and train for races with only one pair in your closet.
It goes without saying, you don’t have to own multiple pairs of running shoes to be a runner.
