Anyone who is a runner will tell you that the most important piece of equipment that you will ever buy is your shoe. While everyone has their favorites, certain companies are known for certain things. Sometimes the best shoe will depend on the style of running or even an injury that has caused some pain. However, there are a few companies that stand above all others.
Asics – the Asics GEL Kayano series is generally regarded as one of the best running shoes on the market. They are so popular that the only place to get them often times is on the Internet. Brick and mortar stores sell out of them just about as fast as they come in the front door. There may not be a better shoe on the market for cushioning and stability.
New Balance – they may not be as big and fancy as some of the other manufacturers, but they continue to put out a great product year after year. While they may have slipped back in rankings for the basic running shoe, their cross-country running shoes are still among the top in the industry.
Brooks – Brooks is another company that a new runner may not know by brand, but they feature one of the top shoes on the market with the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 9. Amazingly enough, the shoe is readily available for under $100. If you are online or at a store that sells them, you cannot go wrong by trying them.
Nike – of course, what “Best of” list would be complete with Nike? The have and probably always will be one of the most popular shoemakers on the planet. Regardless of the category, they always seem to have a shoe that makes everyone’s list. One thing is for sure, when you buy Nike, you know you are going to get a quality product that has the Nike name behind it.
Let’s not forget mens Adidas trainers and mens Puma trainers. They are also two of the largest men’s footwear manufacturers in the world.
