Road running shoes
The current road shoes in our catalog, grouped by type. Each lists its stack height, drop and weight, with a link to where those numbers come from. For picks that fit how you run, use the running shoe finder. Running off-road? See the trail running shoes.
What the finder weighs for a road shoe
- Whether you want more support, whether you use orthotics, and, if you ask us to use it, what a professional has recommended to you
- Fit: whether you want more toe room or a narrower fit
- The type of shoe against how you run: your run types, weekly mileage, and whether you race
- Cushioning: whether you want softer or firmer
- How close it is to the shoe you run in now, if you want something similar
- Durability against your weekly mileage
- Breathability, if you run in heat or humidity
- Smaller factors: heel hold, toe-box shape if you get blisters, softer cushioning if you want less discomfort, how long you've been running, a plate for racing, weight, brands you like, and the price range you prefer
What it doesn't consider
- We don't ask you to judge your own pronation, and we never pick a shoe for a medical condition.
- We don't take an exact budget. You tell us the price range you prefer.
- We don't yet judge whether a shoe runs true to size.
The shoes
Stack and weight come from the source linked beside each shoe, usually an independent lab or the manufacturer; drop is the manufacturer's listed figure. We haven't verified them ourselves yet. Weights are for the reference size the source uses.
