First 5K Starter Kit for Women: Beginner Running Shoes, Socks, Belts & Recovery Gear
7
items Spend your first budget on shoes and socks, not outfits, because sore feet and blisters end more beginner running plans than anything else. This first 5K kit for women covers beginner running shoes from Hoka, Nike, Brooks and Saucony, plus the socks,...
If I could only pick one beginner running shoe, this would be it, because the cushioning is soft without feeling squishy and the rocker shape rolls you forward on tired legs. I wear it for walks and errands too, which is how I know it is comfortable ...
HOKA Clifton 10 Women's Running Shoes
This is the neatest way I have found to carry a phone, a house key and a card without holding anything. The low-bounce waistband stays flat at the hips, and the zip pocket is stretchy enough for a large phone. It is slim enough to wear under a loose ...

Brooks fits a lot of runners right out of the box, and the Ghost is its best-known neutral shoe for a reason: it is soft, simple and has no strange break-in period. If a store fit-check tells you that you want a classic cushioned shoe, this is the on...
Brooks Ghost 18 Women's Running Shoes
Shorts need to stay put, and this pair does, with a waistband that does not roll and seam-free inner thighs so nothing rubs on a long run. The pockets hold a phone and keys, which means I can skip the belt on short runs. Choose the six-inch length if...
