When it comes to running, various factors come into play – the surface you wanna run on, your weight, your biomechanics, feet shape to decide on required on cushion for comfort run and so on. So there is no one right shoe to fit all.
So here are 3 categories that should help you find the best one for you:
1.Weight: Lighter shoes means less cushion, but will feel faster. But for long distance runs, it is preferable to go with extra cushion.
2. Drop : how much of toes drop below the heel. A higher drop leads to more heel striking. Most shoes have a drop between 8 & 12 millimeters, some shoes have less than 6mm and a few minimalist designs have zero drop.
3. Flexible & Cushion: Cushioning provides impact absorption and flexibility to provide smoothness when on a run.
