Running Shoes

Early in the morning, the fresh air and silence before the day begins, while everyone is slowly waking up, you are already ready to take the first steps. The right running shoes make the difference between enjoying every step or suffering through kilometres with painful feet and injuries. They offer you the necessary support, cushioning and stability you need to get the best out of yourself and every run. Whether you run through the urban environment or seek out nature for that extra off-road challenge, the right running shoes ensure that you can handle every route effortlessly and with confidence on any surface.

The range varies from neutral running shoes for a smooth, natural roll-off, anti-pronation running shoes for extra support with overpronation and trail running shoes for grip and protection on unpaved paths. The most important selection criteria are your running style, the surface on which you run, the desired cushioning and the fit to your foot width. Always choose shoes specifically designed for your running style for the best performance and the least risk of injury, so that every kilometre feels comfortable from start to finish.

Why are good running shoes so important?

Running shoes are the most important investment you can make as a runner.

Which running shoe suits you?

The right choice depends on your pronation, running surface and training goal.

Neutral running shoes: For runners with a neutral gait or slight supination. The most popular category with the most model choices. Suitable for road running, recreational running and competitive athletics.

Stability and anti-pronation running shoes: For runners who overpronate — where the foot rolls inward after landing. Stability shoes have extra support on the inner side of the sole to correct this movement and prevent knee and hip complaints. Read our blog what is overpronation and the 4 best running shoes for overpronation for more information.

Trail running shoes: For off-road running on uneven terrain. Trail shoes have a rougher sole, more lateral support and often a reinforced toe cap for protection against stones and roots. Suitable for nature trails, mountain paths and muddy terrain.

Triathlon running shoes: Specifically designed for quick transitions in triathlon. Often without laces or with elastic laces for a fast change and a very breathable upper for running after swimming and cycling. Also view our range of trisuits for complete triathlon clothing.
