Choosing a running shoe

Cushioning: max-cushion shoes (Hoka, On Cloudmonster) protect joints over distance; lighter shoes suit faster, shorter runs. Surface: road shoes for pavement and treadmill; trail shoes for grip off-road. Support: neutral shoes suit most runners; if you overpronate, look for stability models. If you're unsure of size, size up half a size from your everyday shoe for running.
