Running Shoes

Off-court fitness is part of every racket player's game, and Central Sports stocks a strong range of running shoes for men and women from leading brands including On Running, Hoka, Brooks, Asics, Nike and Adidas. From the On Cloud range to Hoka's max-cushion trainers, you'll find road and trail options across all sizes to support your training between matches.

Whether you're building endurance for long badminton or tennis sessions, cross-training, or running for fitness, our staff can help you find the right shoe for your gait and mileage. Next-working-day UK delivery on orders before 2pm, and expert fitting advice in store at Birmingham and Milton Keynes.

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.

Running shoes FAQ

How do I choose the right running shoes?

Start with where you run (road, treadmill or trail), then the cushioning you prefer and whether you need neutral or stability support. Our staff in store can talk you through gait and mileage, or you can browse by brand: Adidas running shoes and On Running.

What is the difference between road and trail running shoes?

Road shoes are lighter and smoother underfoot for pavement and treadmills. Trail shoes have deeper lugs for grip on mud and uneven ground, and often a more protective upper.

Can I wear running shoes for badminton, tennis or padel?

No. Running shoes are built for forward motion and are not designed for the side-to-side movement of court sports. For the court, see our badminton shoes guide and tennis shoes guide.

Do you offer expert fitting advice?

Yes. Our teams at Birmingham and Milton Keynes can help you find the right fit, and orders placed before 2pm are dispatched for next-working-day UK delivery.
