Buying advice running shoes

Neutral running shoes: For all "natural" runners

A neutral running shoe is just right for you if you want to complete light to medium-heavy runs on soft to medium-hard ground. Neutral running shoes are characterized by a neutral sole structure. This means that the sole does not have any stabilizing elements or pronation supports. Nevertheless, they provide you with a natural running feeling due to their low damping. In addition, they are very flexible and support your natural rolling behavior.

If you are untrained or overweight, you should rather choose a stable running shoe or a running shoe with appropriate cushioning.

Neutral running shoes are suitable for the following foot positions:

• Normal foot position
• With supination
• Hollow foot with supination
• Slight overpronation

Stable running shoes: For all endurance runners

A stable running shoe is ideal for all runners who focus on long, quiet endurance runs. It doesn't really matter where you're running, because stable running shoes, as the name suggests, provide a lot of stability. They have so-called pronation supports. This gives your foot a very good hold and protects you from too much bending of your ankle.

If you have a flat foot or overpronation, then a stronger midsole and cushioning with supporting elements like a heel cup is ideal for you.

Sturdy running shoes are suitable for the following foot positions:

• Light to heavy runners with mild to moderate overpronation.

Off-road/Trail running shoes: For all adventurous runners

The forest, cross-country trails and the mountains are your second home? If your running routes take you mainly through rough terrain, then a robust and water-repellent running shoe is just right. Trail running shoes feature GTX® membranes and are often reinforced at the toe cap, so you're good to go no matter what the weather or terrain.

However, it is important to know that they are also rather inflexible and sometimes only limited breathable. Your running experience will therefore certainly be somewhat different than with a neutral running shoe.

The lower midsole drop ensures a significantly improved sure-footedness and ultimately reduces the risk of injury. Trail running shoes can also be recognized by their coarse outsole. This ensures a special grip and offers you the necessary stability and safety even in difficult terrain or in winter in ice and snow.

Trail running shoes are suitable for the following foot positions:

• Normal pronation
• Overpronation

Competition shoes: For all ambitious runners

If you are a passionate runner and you are on the hunt for the personal best time, then the tartan track is certainly an essential part of your training. Here, you should get the closest to your running goals with competition running shoes.

Due to your training at high speed, a particularly light and flat shoe is ideal for you. A competition shoe does completely without cushioning and support, so you have an immediate feel for the ground. Extremely innovative materials also ensure a low weight on the foot. Nevertheless, we recommend a stable or neutral running shoe for your regular training so that you don't injure yourself.

So, if you are a very trained and normal weight runner who is chasing speed, then a competition shoe is ideal for you.
