Between running multiple marathons, earning my running coach certification, and testing running shoes professionally for a decade, I鈥檝e cultivated a reputation as a Runner with a capital R. And, as a proper-noun Runner, I find myself having a similar conversation over and over again.

Friend: 鈥淚 think I want to try to get into running鈥攚hat kind of shoes should I get?鈥�

 

Me: 鈥淲ell, it depends鈥︹�� (Goes into highly specific questions and recommendations, hemming and hawing over heel-toe drop and overpronation while my friend鈥檚 eyes slowly glaze over.)

The irritating truth is that there鈥檚 no shoe that鈥檚 absolutely perfect for every single runner. We all have different anatomy and different gaits, and the concrete surfaces I run on in Chicago are vastly different from the comparatively low-impact trails of Colorado. All of these factors (and more) will ultimately impact what running shoe is best for you.

While I鈥檝e been training for the Berlin Marathon this fall, however, I鈥檝e come as close as I鈥檝e ever come to discovering the Holy Grail of running shoes. The is a running shoe that works for most people, on most runs, most of the time, and one that I鈥檝e personally used for over a dozen runs in my ten-week training cycle.
