Here are our latest running shoe reviews curated carefully by our expert running coaches and athletes.
A tall, softly cushioned shoe that rolls you smoothly through each step, equally at home on easy runs and long days of walking. This version is lighter and smoother than before, with a slightly trimmer fit. It is not a fast or supportive shoe, but for comfortable, protected miles it is one of the easiest to love.
Hoka has cut the weight, softened the foam and fixed the wobble that held the last Cielo back. The result is one of the most energetic marathon racers on sale, with a rolling ride that carries you along. It is also aggressive enough that some runners will find it too much shoe.
This is one of the lightest carbon racing shoes you can buy, and the new foam gives it real bounce without adding weight. It suits runners who lengthen their stride when they go faster. It is also firm, expensive and useless for anything other than going fast.
ASICS has made its middle-of-the-road support shoe lighter and softer at the same time, which is a rare trick. It now feels closer to a normal trainer that happens to keep your foot steady. Whether the gentler support is enough will depend on how much help you actually need.

Altra Torin 9 review: a roomy, firm, zero-drop daily trainer with new P35X foam and a Vibram outsole. Who it suits.
Hoka Speedgoat 7 review: lighter, bouncier supercritical foam and Vibram Megagrip for technical trails.
New Balance 1080v15 review: the flagship trades Fresh Foam for lighter, livelier Infinion foam. Who should buy it.
An affordable, dependable support shoe for runners and walkers whose feet roll inward a little. The big news this time is a wider, steadier base that feels more planted than before. It stays firm and best suited to shorter runs and daily walks, but at this price it is one of the easiest support shoes to recommend.
A featherlight, slip-on-friendly walker for easy days: errands, travel and gentle strolls. The soft, springy cushioning feels lovely from the first step and the hands-free versions are a real help. The catch is almost no arch support, so it is the wrong shoe for long days or feet that need structure.
