Adidas Adizero Adios:
If you like it low and light this is the shoe for you. Shunning the trend ever increasing stack height this is a great shoe for fast interval sessions or short races.
Adidas Adizero Boston 12:
The Boston 12 is a shoe that does everything really well. It’s versatility means if you want one shoe that can handle everything from long slow runs to tempo sessions and races then there aren’t many better options. The foam feels super responsive and suits a wide range of runners. A slightly wider toe box to previous generations is also a welcome update. The shoe also stands up impressively well to all the mileage you can throw at it which makes it one of the best value shoes out there. A fantastic road running shoe.
Craft Nordlite Speed:
High stacked, heavily rockered super shoe. Great for picking up the pace over longer distances.
Hoka Mach 6:
The Mach 6 takes the already impressive Mach 5 to the next level. Feels more like a modern super shoe and makes a great race shoe or faster run day choice. Stable enough to take on your long runs. Another RnR fav.
New Balance Propel v4
Not the fastest fast daily but plated shoe with a responsive foam at a great price point that can handle all runs.
New Balance Rebel v4
Super responsive foam with a super shoe feel without the carbon plate. Nice wide toe box. If this is the future of daily trainers then we can’t wait.
