1
Do-it-all pick
ASICS
Superblast 3
राइड 9.0डिज़ाइन और आराम 9.0वैल्यू 8.0
क्यों खास है
If money is no issue, this is the one shoe I'd pick. Soft like a cotton mattress, yet it pushes you forward, and at 230 g it handles everything from easy runs to 4:00/km pace.
खूबियाँ
- The most fun shoe of the year
- Extremely soft FF Leap + FF Blast Plus midsole
- True to size, snug and secure
कमियाँ
- Exposed midsole and outsole wear quickly
- Narrower forefoot than the Superblast 2
न लें अगर: You have wide feet (the toe box is narrower than the Superblast 2), or you only buy on big discounts, because it is rarely discounted.

Softest ride
New Balance
Fresh Foam X More v6
राइड 6.0डिज़ाइन और आराम 9.0वैल्यू 6.5
क्यों खास है
Even if your knees give up, this shoe will carry you to the finish line. The softest, most stable ride I have tried, with a wide platform and a 4 mm drop that eases the knees. It helped my heel pain. Best for walking, standing all day, slow runs and heavy runners.
खूबियाँ
- Softest and most stable ride I have tried
- Very wide, stable platform
- Softer, premium-feeling upper
कमियाँ
- Fights you when you try to run fast
- No heel clip, not for overpronators
न लें अगर: You want to run faster than about 6:00/km. There is no energy return.

ASICS
Gel-Kayano 33
राइड 8.0डिज़ाइन और आराम 9.0वैल्यू 8.0
क्यों खास है
I never expected a Kayano in my max-cushion list. A soft, bouncy FF Blast Max top layer over a stable, firmer base, so it suits flat, neutral and high arches. I loved every run so much I forgot to film the first one.
खूबियाँ
- Soft, bouncy FF Blast Max top layer on a stable base
- Plush heel and tongue padding
- More breathable than the Kayano 32
कमियाँ
- Durability doubts for runners over 90 kg

Puma
MagMax Nitro 2
राइड 7.8डिज़ाइन और आराम 8.0वैल्यू 7.0

Soft and responsive at the same time. Every brand is chasing that, and New Balance pulled it off. A jelly-like Infinion ride for 5 km to 30 km, and 800–1,000 km of life for runners under 90 kg.
