What should you look for in a good running shoe?

First and foremost, you want a good fit, as you don't want to be putting your feet under stress with a shoe that's too small, or big. Always check the brand's sizing guide before you order. 

Next, make sure you're buying from a reputable brand, like the trio listed above. Great indie running shoes do exist, but you don't want to be risking your health by trying out a shoe that hasn't been properly vetted. The top brands mean thousands of runners use their technology every day, so it's easy to get a consensus when it comes to a good running shoe. 

You also want to know your terrain. If like most people, you're planning on running along roads and paved areas, the above shoes will be ideal. For long trail runs and wilderness, it's best to look for more specialist kit like our best trail running shoes
