A pair of running shoes should offer the correct level of support. There are two common types of running shoes: neutral shoes and stability shoes. These shoes have different features that accommodate each of these two types. Supination helps the foot adapt to the ground as you land and pronation propels the runner forward. If you overpronate, they should help you avoid pain in your feet. If you overpronate, they should help you prevent this pain and improve your running style.
Hoka Mach
The HOKA Mach is one of the most lightweight running shoes on the market, and its unique cushioning system helps runners feel light and springy while they run. The shoe’s firm, double-density PROFLY midsole helps absorb impact, while the shoe’s Early Stage Meta-Rocker determines the placement of foam under the athlete’s foot, allowing for explosive toe-off. Its slightly curved midsole promotes smooth transitions.
Flow Velociti
The UA Flow Velociti is the perfect shoe for a spirited runner who wants to perform at their peak. With its midsole and upper construction, this running shoe is responsive and shock-absorbing, and it’s stable and supportive of the foot at any pace. The midsole also has a forward motion, which provides runners with the power they need to accelerate. While the shoe lacks the pop and bounce of the UA’s, it’s still responsive and comfortable even at a moderate pace.
Prime X
The Adidas Prime X is a mid-priced running shoe with a slick, rubber outsole. Although the Prime X doesn’t have a rear structure or reinforcements, it grips the road well on both dry and wet pavements. The Continental outsole rubber provides exceptional traction and comfort, and road runners have reported no slippage. The Prime X runs a half-size large and should fit wide feet.

Before making a purchase, try a few out at your local running store to see which ones feel right for you. The experts there can offer expert advice on which shoes are right for you.

Asics FlyteFoam Blast cushioning
