1 Reebok ZPump Fusion
The resurgance of the Reebok Pumps has caused quite a stir and we’re well a part of the hysteria. Their new design comes in loads of amazing colours and patterns, but it’s the clever air-filled cage surrounding the foot that makes these trainers extra special. You can pump or release as much air into the cage as you like for the ultimate customised fit, making your runs feel that much easier.

2 Asics Gel-Noosa Tri 10
If you’re into triathlon, having a tri-specific running shoe could save you precious seconds. The seamless lining means you don’t need to fumble about with socks, while the elastic lacing makes it a cinch to slip the shoes on. Get ready to reach your new PB.

3 Adidas Ultra Boost Shoes
If you’re serious about running, these shoes will reflect that. Not only are they as comfortable and snug as they look, but they don’t skimp on performance, either. The clever Boost technology makes sure every stride counts, while the cushioning, breathability and lightweight feel only adds to the shoes’ technical aspects.

4 Underarmour SpeedForm Gemini
These are everything you could want from a running shoe. Once your foot’s in, it’s in – no shuffling about or chafing thanks to the super-secure fit from the seamless heel cup. Despite this, the shoes aren’t cumbersome in any way – they’re lightweight and comfortable without forgetting the important aspect of support. Thumbs up from us.
