BEST RUNNING SHOES FOR WOMEN

 

With over 3,111,800 women running regularly in England, finding the best running shoes for women is more crucial than ever. In fact, among runners who downloaded the app in 2020, nearly twice as many achieved new personal records in 2021 as they did the year before, according to Strava's 2021 report. Basically, more people are going out there more often and they love it.

Why are good running shoes so important?

Emma Kirk-Odunubi, a qualified strength coach and footwear expert, emphasises the importance of having the appropriate running shoes, particularly because various runs require various shoes:

"Many people typically wish to raise the cushioning amount of their shoe as their distance increases." It can be advantageous for runners who have (postponed) half marathons or marathons to have more cushioning across longer distances.

But we do understand that good running shoes are an investment and that the cost might frequently exceed the amount you had planned to spend on new running shoes. In light of this, we've compiled a selection of the top and stylish new women's running shoes so you may shop to your heart's delight and stay within your budget.

What to look for in running shoes for women

With this in mind, it’s time for WH edit of the best women's trainers money can buy.

·         Ground-contact stability is promoted and the ground feels softer underfoot thanks to cushioning.

·         Weight: Less cushioning is often seen in lighter shoes, which results in a greater springback off the ground. They are made for quick splits and strong runs. Choose heavier, more cushioned shoes for longer distances.

·         Drop: The differential in cushioning between the forefoot and the back foot. The shoe is more suited for a quick running style the lower the drop. The typical drop for speed shoes is 4mm.

3. HOKA Clifton 8

 

·         Best for: Long distance training

·         Weight: 215g

·         Drop: 5mm

The Hoka Clifton 8 is a lovely neutral, cushioned shoe that provides steady support without weighting you down. It is another workhorse. They provide a stable ride as you log the miles, making them ideal for longer journeys.

I mean that in the most positive manner imaginable when I say, "They're a shoe I don't think about being on my feet." Ces Menato, a runner and the former acting digital editor of WH, said, "I can run for miles and miles while training for a marathon without feeling the time in my feet." They're a really comfy sneaker, yet there's just enough bounce so you don't feel like you're losing out on anything particularly responsive.

Although you can wear them for any distance, they won't provide you with as much value if you're aiming to break your 5-kilometer personal record. They are a fantastic all-arounder despite this.

6. Adidas Ultraboost 22s

ADIDAS

·         Best for: Regular city runs

·         Weight: 289g

adidas has put a lot of time and effort into making sure the Ultraboost 22s demonstrate a genuine performance gain over their forerunner 21s. These improvements include an enhanced feminine fit, a thinner heel that has less slip and prevents those bothersome blisters, and a bouncier step. They reengineered the outsole as well after testing hundreds of prototypes. The upper material comprises 50% Parley Ocean Plastic, which is recycled plastic that has been kept from contaminating our seas, continuing the brand's commitment to sustainability. Very impressive!

7. Nike ZoomX Invincible Run Flyknit

·         Best for: Injury-prone runners

·         Weight: 253g

·         Drop: 8.4 mm

The Nike ZoomX Invincible Run women's trainers have replaced one of Nike's most well-liked running shoes for ladies (The React Infinity Run Flyknit 2).

According to Brett Holts, VP of Nike Running, "Injuries affect runners of all levels and can be something that inhibits people from starting the sport or resuming after an injury."

What makes these so unique, then? The Nike ZoomX foam is "our most responsive and soft foam," according to the company, and "we used a lot more of it than you'd find in most ordinary Nike running shoes," they claim. They use the 'rocker' design to offset the instability that comes with adding more foam.

Nike discovered that these sneakers produced outcomes equivalent to those of its forerunners during a 12-week testing period. According to a BCSMRF study, runners wearing those shoes experienced injuries at a rate that was 52% lower than that of runners wearing the control shoe. So, if you're always complaining about a pulled this or a hurt that, it might be time to invest in some equipment that was literally designed for the task.

Ces Menato, the former acting digital editor, was a true devotee of Infinity React and can verify that the current version is just as springy and that the addition of a few grammes is not noticeable. Nike's mission is to "make running feel simple." In these, it is undoubtedly simpler.
