BROOKS LEVITATE 2

The Zoom Fly could be said to be more for the speedsters, but the Levitate meets an even greater challenge: it’s a shoe for just about everyone. The Fit Knit upper is very comfortable; the heel section is superb – hugging your foot tight without pinching; the bounce is great, thanks to DNA AMP cushioning; and the ride is smooth. It’s also highly durable so you’re set for many happy miles together. £140, brooksrunning.com
