everyday runs
the most versatile shoes for every type of run! if you're only gonna buy one pair of shoes, i'd pick one of these :)
my most purchased daily trainer! good for all types of runs :)
Asics Gel-Cumulus
currently alternating between these and the asics gel-cumulus, similar but a bit less cushioned
Brooks Adrenaline GTS
very plush and versatile, ideal for running or walking!
HOKA Clifton
recovery runs
shoes with extra cushioning to keep your feet nice and comfy on easy recovery runs
shoes i have owned the longest! heavier than the cumulus but def more plush
ASICS Gel-Nimbus
super comfy for all day wear, adds a lot of height!
HOKA Bondi 8
still plush but a bit sturdier feeling than the others
Brooks Glycerin
speed runs
light and responsive shoes to make you feel fast during speed workouts!
these shoes make me feel like i'm flying! nylon-plated so very responsive
grippy and waterproof shoes to help you handle all types of weather and surfaces
very light feeling with a grippy bottom!
Saucony Peregrine GTX
another grippy bottom, a little heavier/sturdier
HOKA Speedgoat
races
carbon-plated shoes to maximize your speed and agility! (note: these shoes don't last as long as the others, so break them in then save them for race day)
very light and springy, similar feel to the endorphin speeds but with a carbon vs nylon plate
Saucony Endorphin Pro
haven't tried these myself, but these are one of the most popular marathon racing shoes
