Women's Running Shoes

Running shoes are categorised based on their intended use and features:

• Road Running Shoes: Designed for hard surfaces like pavements, offering cushioning and shock absorption.

• Trail Running Shoes: Built for rugged terrain with durable uppers, aggressive outsoles, and added grip.

• Neutral Running Shoes: Ideal for runners with a natural gait, providing balanced cushioning.

• Stability Running Shoes: Offer support for overpronation with firmer midsoles or guide rails.
• Racing Shoes: Lightweight and designed for speed, often featuring carbon plates for propulsion.

Consider your running style (neutral or pronation), terrain (road or trail), and arch type (low, medium, or high). Look for features like cushioning, stability, and breathability. A gait analysis at a specialist store can help identify the best shoe for your needs.

Yes, women’s running shoes are versatile and provide excellent cushioning and support for walking as well as running. They are ideal for long walks or everyday use due to their comfort-focused design.

Road running shoes prioritise cushioning and responsiveness for hard surfaces like pavements. Trail running shoes offer enhanced grip, durability, and waterproofing to handle uneven terrain, mud, or rocky paths safely.

Replace your running shoes every 300–500 miles or when you notice reduced cushioning and support. Signs like uneven wear on the outsole or discomfort during runs indicate it’s time for a new pair.

Top brands include ASICS, HOKA, Brooks, Saucony, and New Balance. Each offers specialised designs tailored to different terrains and runner needs, from cushioned trainers to lightweight racing shoes.
