The 18 best running shoes for men in 2025, according to podiatrists and runners
Running shoes quick picks For flat-footed athletes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 Everyday trainers that'll last: Nike Pegasus 41 Plush shoes for runners with arthritis: Hoka Bondi 9 Trail runners with a cult following: Altra Lone Peak 9 When it comes to men's running shoes, there's no such thing as one-size-fits-all. The same gear a trail runner uses to race up a mountain won't do much for a new runner sprinting on a treadmill. Throw in different body types, running gaits, training goals and budgets, and it's clear: Finding the right pair of running shoes takes more than just a flashy design. To give you an idea of which shoes are best suited for your specific needs, I turned to four seasoned running experts to help build a standout lineup. Whether you're lacing up for your first lope or chasing a new personal best, there's something here for everyone. The experts also shared practical, no-nonsense tips on how to choose the right shoes. Here's what they recommend. Brooks Men's Adrenaline GTS 24 Using Brooks' cushy DNA Loft v3 foam and GuideRails technology (like training wheels on a bike), the Adrenaline GTS 24 offers extra stability on the road. They're a prime recommendation of Dr. Miguel Cunha, podiatrist and the founder of Gotham Footcare, for overpronators and patients with flat to Coast Men's P1 Though Mount to Coast doesn't have mainstream brand recognition, Dr. Priya Parthasarathy, podiatric surgeon and spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association, reaches for the brand's P1 stability shoes, which she said are superb for pronators who run long distances. Like many of the shoes on this list, they also come stamped with the American Podiatric Medical Association's (APMA) Seal of Men's Addiction GTS 15 Dr. Mark Mendeszoon, a multiboard-certified podiatrist and running shop owner, recommends this responsive, extra-supportive model for overpronators with knee, hip or other lower extremity problems. They're so good that you shouldn't need insoles or orthotics, he said. Plus, they come in four widths, from narrow to extra Men's Wave Inspire 21 For 2025, Mizuno updated the Wave Inspire with a wider forefoot and extra cushioning, and Mendeszoon likes them because they are a solid buy for responsive stability. But what makes the Wave Inspire really stand apart is their 12-millimeter heel-to-toe drop, which he said offers 'tremendous heel shock absorption,' to mitigate aggressive heel striking. Hoka Men's Arahi 7 The beefy midsoles on the Hoka Arahi 7 will keep excess pronation in check, Mendeszoon said. Combine that with the stellar shock absorption, outstanding breathability and roomy toe boxes, and you can see why these are another of his favorites. Brooks Men's Beast GTS 24 Whether you've got severely flat feet, have had surgery or suffer from other foot problems, try Brooks' Beast model, Mendeszoon said. They offer some of the most support and cushioning out of Brooks' line and also make excellent walking shoes. The newest model features softer, more breathable uppers without sacrificing their roomy fit. Nike Men's Pegasus 41 The versatile, durable Nike Pegasus 41, one of Cunha's favorites, epitomize what everyday trainers should aspire to. Upgrades in 2025 include an increase in the shoe's cushioning, more breathable uppers and an improved lacing system for a dialed fit. Saucony Men's Ride 18 Like the Pegasus 41, the Saucony Ride 18 are like the Swiss Army knife of the road running world, offering something for long-distance runners, casual joggers and men who just want a comfy pair of walking shoes. Cunha added that they also accommodate most foot types and running Men's Glycerin 22 If you're the kind of guy who likes to wear running shoes to the office and the gym, then the Glycerin 22 are the do-it-all model you're looking for. Parthasarathy said they're one of her top picks for everyday wear and running, thanks to the well-cushioned midsoles and wide toe boxes. You can also snag the Glycerin GTS 22, which offer more support for Men's Bondi 9 With their 'bouncy, cushioned feel,' Parthasarathy said she points patients to the Bondi 9 if they have fat pad atrophy or arthritis. The newest version has a higher stack height for an ultra-plush experience on the road. Asics Men's Gel-Nimbus 27 'The Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 remains one of my top choices for neutral runners looking for extra cushioning and long-distance comfort,' Cunha said. For this year's model, expect an even higher, squishier midsole. Hoka Men's Clifton 10 'For patients seeking all-around performance, the Hoka Clifton 10s offer superior cushioning and a smooth ride — ideal for heel strikers and long-distance runners,' Cunha said. The newest iteration also comes with more cushioning, a roomier forefoot and toe Balance Men's Fresh Foam X 1080v14 Men with wide feet should test drive New Balance's 1080v14, Cunha said. The brand has equipped the cushioned, everyday running shoes with new, more breathable uppers and extra rubber for more durability. Brooks Men's Ghost 17 Despite being hot off the assembly line, Parthasarathy is already recommending Ghost's newest model for its 'very responsive' design that will suit neutral or supinated gaits. At time of publication, they're available for preorder at Brooks. Altra Men's Lone Peak 9 Contributing writer Cassandra Brooklyn called the Altra Lone Peak some of the best hiking shoes you can buy. They have a cult-like following among trail runners too, and received plaudits from Cunha for their wide toe boxes and zero-drop platforms, 'which promote natural foot movement.'Read our review La Sportiva Men's Bushido 3 After runners on staff logged more than 100 miles in 13 popular trail running shoes, the Bushido 3 emerged as our favorite, impressing testers with their sticky rubber, cooling ventilation and aggressive lugs. Keep in mind, however, that these are truly specialist shoes that won't work well on the road or for casual exercise in the our review Brooks Men's Cascadia 18 Whereas the Bushido 3 would be overkill for road running, our testers found the Cascadia versatile enough to take on- and off-road. (We tested the 17, which are very similar.) They've got rock plates and overlays to protect you when the terrain is tough, and just enough cushioning for long walks, hikes and road our review Hoka Men's Speedgoat 6 Though our trail running experts at CNN Underscored haven't tried the newest model of the Speedgoat, an earlier iteration is our pick for long-distance trail runs and ultramarathons. Highlights include flexible uppers that expand as your feet swell and comfy cushioning. Read our review 'The right running shoes can make a big difference in preventing injuries, improving comfort and keeping the entire body in better alignment while running,' Cunha said. Know your gait pattern Cunha believes your gait, the way you move when you run, is a key factor when choosing the best pair of running shoes, and he noted three gait or stride patterns: Pronation: When your feet roll inward. Supination: When your feet roll outward. Neutral: When your feet distribute weight evenly. And though this may sound technical, figuring out your own gait doesn't have to be. 'Going to your local run shop and getting an in-person gait analysis is absolutely the best way to have veteran eyes tell you what shoe is best for you,' Sackett said. Or, if you're willing to do a little DIY investigation, Cunha suggests looking at the wear patterns on your old shoes to get a better idea of how your feet hit the ground when you run. Find shoes that fit Once you know your gait pattern and terrain, the last thing to consider is the right fit. 'A proper fit helps prevent pain, blisters and injuries like plantar fasciitis or toenail trauma,' Cunha said. 'If it feels off in the store, it'll feel worse on a run.' Look for running shoes that fit snug but not tight, with about a thumb's-width of space between your big toes and the ends of the shoes. 'The toe box should be wide enough to wiggle your toes, and the shoe should bend at the ball of the foot, not through the arch,' he added. Another pro tip? Make sure you try on your shoes at the right time of day. Parthasarathy recommends shopping toward the end of the day, after a run, when your feet are most swollen. 'If they feel good then, they'll likely feel good during a run,' Cunha added. Still not sure what to buy? Lean on a podiatrist or a trusted staffer at a specialty running store for guidance. 'Running shoes are the best they've ever been, and nowadays you can really find something for every running style,' Sackett said. The following FAQs have been answered by podiatrists Dr. Miguel Cunha and Dr. Priya Parthasarathy, and product line manager at Brooks, Lee Sacket. What are the best running shoes for beginners? What are the best running shoes for beginners? 'For someone just getting into running, I always recommend starting with a balanced, 'perfect blend' type of shoe,' Sackett said, 'so you can start to unpack the features and feelings that you like and dislike on the run while still staying protected and comfortable.' In technical terms, he said to find a pair with a medium stack height (28 millimeters to 36 millimeters), a soft, responsive midsole, an upper that fits comfortably with the contours of your feet and enough stretch for your toes to spread out. How long do running shoes last? How long do running shoes last? Parthasarathy and Cunha said that it's important to replace shoes every 300 to 500 miles. 'Worn-out shoes can lead to heel pain, shin splints, knee pain or even back issues,' Cunha said. You can also try bending shoes to check wear, Parthasarathy said. If they bend in half, it's time for a new pair. Are there differences between men's and women's running shoes? Are there differences between men's and women's running shoes? 'At Gotham Footcare, I often explain to my patients that women's running shoes are typically designed with a narrower heel, softer cushioning and a different arch design to accommodate anatomical differences,' Cunha said. 'Men's shoes tend to be wider and built with slightly firmer midsoles to support greater body weight and wider foot structure.' That said, 'fit and function' matter most, regardless of gender, according to Cunha. If you're a guy who prefers a pair of women's running shoes, wear those instead.

Nike Pegasus 41 review: The best value running shoe for most people
What are the Pegasus 41 running trainers? Released in June 2024, the 41s are the latest Nike Pegasus trainers. They're one of the brand's most popular running shoes, with the first version having been released in 1982. They've gone through some major changes since then, and the shoe was even dropped for a couple of years, but by 2001 they were a bestseller with $19 million worth of pairs being sold. This upgrade, available in 17 colours, sees the brand using ReactX foam cushioning for the first time, while the upper mesh has also been engineered to be more breathable. The trainers are particularly popular with neutral runners. JUMP TO: Why you can trust Telegraph Recommended Our thorough, real-world tests will always help you find the best product. No manufacturer ever sees Telegraph Recommended reviews before publication and we don't accept payment in exchange for favourable reviews, nor do we allow brands to pay for placement in our articles. From running shoes to exercise bikes, all opinions are based on independent expert opinion and our hands-on testing. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. How we test trainers As a health and fitness journalist, I'm always in the gym or running, so I tested these trainers during both activities. When I was running I diversified the terrains I covered – from gravel and sand to grass – to assess their performance on various surfaces. I looked at the comfort, alongside the design aesthetics of the shoes and also paid close attention to their durability, particularly how well they maintained their condition after multiple runs. From a runner's perspective, I evaluated crucial aspects such as shock absorption, stability during runs and overall support provided by the shoe. Comfort and design Score: 9/10 The 41s have a chunkier sole and upper knit which wraps around the whole trainer, compared to the previous version. Unlike other running shoes, they're also slimline enough to wear with a pair of jeans. The Nike Pegasus 41 trainers were comfortable when I initially tried them on. The padded collar and tongue felt snug, and the toe box was roomy. The upgraded mesh and sock liner kept my feet cool and dry, even when I was pushing the pace. The extra padding around the ankle and heel meant there were no blisters or hot spots, even on my longest runs. However, it took me a while to adjust to the neutral feel of the midsole during my runs, as I slightly overpronate. The shoe's well-cushioned heel, measuring in at 37mm, enhanced their comfort. I reviewed the white version of the trainers, which didn't stay as pristine for long, particularly after a muddy bike ride and a few winter runs through trails. I'd recommend choosing a darker colour if you want to use them for similar activities. Thankfully there's a wide variety of options with 17 different colours and designs. Bounce and shock absorption Score: 9/10 In 2010 the line introduced Air Zoom, a cushioning system which is said to help with speed and agility – this improved my heel-to-toe progression as I ran, but I'm not sure it made me faster. New for the 41 is the brand ReactX foam cushioning, which is said to enhance energy return, and as you can see from the video, the bounce on the heel was very responsive. They definitely gave a spring to my step and enhanced my stride, but other brands such as HOKA's Bondi 9 and Brook's Glycerin Max are just as responsive and give you more energy return, especially when you're struggling to finish those last couple of kilometres during a race. The foam cushioning also features Air Zoom pods under the heel and forefoot, which provide excellent shock absorption. I could barely feel the ground impact as I ran on both pavements and trails. Durability Score: 10/10 I put these trainers through a lot on a fitness holiday, running along the beach, cycling through muddy puddles and even jumping through tyres – so, of course, they're no longer as pristine as they were when I got them out of the box. They also showed how versatile and durable they are; although now a shade of white-ish brown, the outsoles show no sign of wear, while the upper mesh is still in good condition. The mesh tore after six months or so on a previous iteration of Pegasus trainers which I own, so I'll be interested to see if the case is the same with the 41s. Ground feel and responsiveness Score: 9/10 The heel stack comes in at 37mm, which means a lot of cushioning around the heel, which I appreciated. I barely noticed the ground and they felt so responsive as I pounded the pavements. I'm a heel striker and overpronater, so they cushioned my heels well as I ran. The heel-to-toe drop is only 10mm, meaning there is lots of cushion in the front of the shoe too. The outsole of these trainers, crafted from a layer of rubber and moulded with the distinctive Pegasus waffle pattern, delivered an impressive grip. Even when venturing off-road onto trails and encountering muddy conditions, their traction control was consistent and reliable. Stability Score: 7/10 The Nike Pegasus 41 is designed for neutral feet which do not show excessive pronation or supination (outward rolling). As someone who slightly overpronates when they run (which means my foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inwards), I took a while to adjust. To begin with I could feel an ache in my foot arch, especially when I ran more than 3k in them. I found my feet needed some time to mould into Nike's midsole and adjust, which they did after a few miles, but I also ensured I didn't wear them on longer runs to avoid injury or discomfort. If you do overpronate, more supportive shoes such as Brooks Glycerin Max could fit better – when I tested these my feet immediately adapted. Technical specifications As a neutral running shoe that suits both long-distance and speed running, there are few trainers more versatile than the Nike Pegasus 41s. One shoe that comes close is the Puma Velocity Nitro 3, which is slightly cheaper and lighter, with the same heel-to-toe drop. Here's how they stack up: Should you buy the Nike Pegasus 41 trainers? The Nike Pegasus 41 is a great all-rounder, especially for shorter distances. The heel stack and bounce from the ReactX foam cushioning and Air Zoom are impressive, while the design and comfort of the shoe are excellent. However, as it's a neutral footing shoe, it's not for everyone, so definitely try before you buy, especially if you overpronate, like me. Yes if: You want impressive grip You run shorter distances You want good bounce from your cushioning No if: You overpronate You don't want a neutral fitting shoe You run longer distances Nike Pegasus 41 FAQs Does the Nike Pegasus 41 run true to size? Yes, the Nike Pegasus 41 running shoes run true to size, and are available in standard and wide widths. Are the Nike Pegasus 41 shoes good for long-distance running? Yes, the responsive cushioning and supportive design make the Nike Pegasus 41s good for long-distance running. Are the Nike Pegasus 41 running shoes waterproof? No, the standard Nike Pegasus 41 shoes are not waterproof, although you can buy the GORE-TEX versions for £144.99, which are waterproof.
