Editor in chief of Runner’s World:

“Since I’m one of Runner’s World’s 350 wear-testers, I rarely wear the same pair of shoes on successive runs. (In the wear-test program, runners of all levels give their subjective feedback on shoes.)

“I’ve been working on improving my running form, so I’ve been running more in minimalist shoes for certain workouts to help strengthen my feet and promote a forefoot strike, but opting for something with more cushioning for my long runs.

“I do a fair amount of cross-training, so if we go on a family hike, I’ll wear trail-running shoes, and I wear cycling shoes that are compatible with clipless pedals when I go cycling. And I almost never wear dress shoes. The editor of Runner’s World can get away with wearing running shoes at the office most days — a nice perk.”
