"When it comes to selecting the right running shoe for you, taking note of any specific features can make all the difference. Some are water-resistant; some are not. Some have a great heel drop that helps with arch support, whereas some are flat. Knowing what you want, whether it be extra traction, cushioning, or breathability, will help ensure you have as smooth a ride as possible."
"We're not going to say something is great unless it's actually great. Every product in Esquire's roundups is carefully curated by our fashion and e-commerce teams. We're no strangers to Amazon, and we're definitely no strangers to running shoes. The list above is made up of styles that we've personally tested, tried, and loved, along with styles that the rest of our stylish colleagues here at Esquire endorse for their own wear, whether that includes running the NYC Marathon or hitting the treadmill during lunch."
Selecting the right running shoe requires attention to specific features such as water resistance, heel drop for arch support, traction, cushioning, and breathability. Proper sizing and width availability matter, with several options offering multiple widths for wider feet. Products were carefully curated and personally tested, with selections reflecting real-world use and colleague endorsements for diverse activities from marathons to treadmill runs. Picks prioritize honest performance assessments and practical features rather than marketing claims. Affiliate links may generate commissions for purchases, and testing emphasizes hands-on experience with well-known retailers and a range of running conditions.
