TRIED & TESTED

3 OF THE BEST... MEN’S ROAD RUNNING SHOES Saucony Breakthru 3, £110 (saucony.com):

It’s easy to forget you’re even wearing these, they’re so comfortable, with a spacious toe box and secure fit. Lightweight materials (they have a superlightweight mesh upper and TRI-FLEX optimal-flexibility outsole) make this feel like a minimalist shoe but with great cushioning.

On CloudFlow, £120 (on-running.com):

For lightness and rebound, it’s hard to beat On’s ‘zero-gravity Clouds’ sole designs. These feature 18 ‘Clouds’ which, along with the internal ‘Speedboard’ features to promote natural flex and flow-motion through the foot, make for a super-cushioned run.

Adidas Supernova Running Shoes, £89.95 (sportsshoes. com):

Superb grip in all conditions, especially when it’s wet, thanks to the Continental rubber sole. The fit’s great too, securing the heal extremely well – a must for long runs – and they feel extremely light, thanks to the Boost midsoles.
