What to look for when purchasing men’s performance running shoes

Whether you’re a sprinter or a long-distance runner, soft cushioning, decent grip, and supportive soles are critical when it comes to freedom of movement and decent foot flex. Every style we offer in our collection of men’s performance running shoes has been carefully created with innovative technology to reduce stress on the ankles, heels and toes with midsole stability and necessary arch support. Our range allows your foot to move naturally through every stride, while the durable overall design provides stability and guards against the extra motion that could cause injury. Whatever pair you choose, our men’s running shoes allow you to exercise your muscles naturally without causing aches, pains or strains.

If you’re regularly training in wet conditions or running on rocky and rugged terrain, look for men’s trail running shoes that are complete with a thick and durable rubber outsole grip — this will ensure you can stride with confidence. This terrain also calls for men’s running shoes with an ankle collar that holds the heel down. Choose a water-resistant style with a gaiter collar that adds another layer of defence to resist debris and moisture from increasing the shoe’s overall weight. The best running shoes for men will inevitably include a rubber foam outsole compound that enhances bounce and flexibility. Look for shoes with materials that provide traction and durability without adding excess weight to the overall design. 

We also suggest you pay attention to the reinforced area around the instep and select running shoes for men that offer overlays, eyelets for lacing systems to mould the saddle to your foot shape. You want the saddle to hold your foot comfortably while allowing for the natural doming of your arch.

FAQs 

What should I consider when choosing men’s performance running shoes?

Regardless of how you train, there are various factors to take into account before purchasing a pair of men’s running shoes. These include: 

• Fit — If the shoe is too tight, the intense compression creates misalignment, increasing the risk of injury. If the shoe is too loose, your foot will slide, and blisters will form. The best men’s shoes for running should offer a snug upper fit to avoid these potentially painful issues. 

• Motion control — If you have flat feet or severe overpronation, men’s running shoes designed with motion control provide additional heel cup and arch support in the midsole. 

• Outsole — Consider the surface and terrain you’re running on to determine whether you require a thick and sturdy outsole. 

• Midsole foam — For speed sessions, choose reactive foam and for longer running sessions, choose softer foam midsoles. 

• Weight — The shoe's weight impacts the amount of energy you need to exert during exercise. Choose a natural-shock absorption model that can easily absorb and repurpose energy.
