Saucony Triumph ISO
No matter what part of your foot hits the ground first, this shoe’s curved sole encourages a fluid transition from strike to lift-off. Its loud colours will help drivers spot you a mile off, too.

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 15
The adaptive cushioning of this shoe’s midsole responds to your running style, and the lack of seams on the upper reduces chafing so no blisters develop.
