361˚Chaser £80

A shoe so light and speedy there’s every chance you won’t be the one doing the chasing. It’s clearly a performance model, best used for speed sessions and short races up to 10 miles – pounding out the reps in them was a thrilling experience for efficient runners, who loved the quick transition, the flexibility of the midfoot and the secure heel lock. The mesh was very breathable but the grip was patchy in wet conditions, making it a bit of a prima donna, so keep this shoe for short, fast runs in good weather.
