No two runners run alike. Your preferences, natural stride, body type, skills, and experience are all unique to\u00a0<\/span>you \u2014 and\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>while that’s awesome, it can also pose a challenge as you look for the right shoe.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, we know a thing or two about matchmaking. To find your best running shoe, use these questions as a guide. It’s more fun than setting up a dating profile. (And bonus: shoes will never ghost you.)<\/p>\n

Whether you’re hitting the road or tackling the trail, you need a shoe that’s built for the specific challenges of your environment.<\/p>\n

Road shoes are lighter weight, with responsive cushion to soften your landing on hard asphalt or cement.<\/p>\n

By contrast, trail shoes tend to be more heavy-duty, with built-in protection from rocks and debris and more stability to counter uneven terrain.<\/p>\n
