We get it, choosing the right running shoes can feel totally overwhelming with so many options out there. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back, or should we say feet? And yes the considerations do change for our heavier, taller, rock star runners because we need to look at stability, cushion and durability.
Our team has been testing out all kinds of shoes and sharing honest feedback along with the key details you need to make the best choice for your feet. And it’s point of pride around here that the majority of our testers aren’t sub 3 hour marathon runners, but everyday mid to even back of the pack athletes with a variety of body shapes.
Plus, having coached thousands of runners we have SO MANY people providing us feedback all the time that we feel really confident this list is going to help you find the right show.
A good friend of the site, Drew from Wear Testers, is a big ol’ basketball dude turned distance runner. And we love that he busts a lot of stereotypes by cranking out some speedy times, but he’s also told us that shoes are just different when you add weight.
It absolutely changes the longevity of many shoes, but also simply the feel as you put more pressure…
