EVOLVING every year, if not month, neutral cushioned shoes are seeing developments in cushioning materials and dynamics at a pace which is nothing short of astonishing. The latest models feature new polymers in the midsoles to give them a cushioned feel while at the same time keeping their weight to a minimum. Give them a spin and choose the most comfortable for mile after mile of shock absorbing running.

ASICS – Evoride

The latest addition to what is becoming a growing line of products in ASICS’ ‘RIDE’ category, this shoe takes the learnings of the METARIDE and GLIDERIDE into an everyday, affordable shoe for the masses.

It feels light and provides an incredibly smooth ride – it really does feel likes its rolling you down the road. This is a slightly lower profile shoe (with a 22mm stack height and 5mm heel drop) but it is aimed at more up-tempo kind of training and is very efficient.

The FLYTEFOAM Propel midsole gives a nice combination of shock absorption and, thanks to the defined rocker, a great toe-off to create a shoe that puts a smile on your face.

As you would expect from ASICS, the upper is of the highest quality and the Jacquard mesh construction feels soft and plush while providing a close and secure fit.

ASICS Men's EvoRide Running Shoes The EVORIDE shoe from ASICS is a lightweight performance running style that's complemented with FLYTEFOAM Propel foam for a high-energy return bounce during each stride.

Trail time

WHEN looking for a trail or off-road running shoe, it’s often all about the grip. However, given that no two paths are the same, careful consideration is required. What’s the terrain like where you’ll wear the shoes the most? If you’ll be negotiating soft, wet and muddy conditions then look for deeper lugs. For tackling gravel tracks and forest trails then more evenly spaced lugs will work better. When it comes to cushioning, consider how hard the ground will be; if it’s soft then you’ll be fine in low-profile shoes, but on those firmer tracks reasonable cushioning will be called for.

Support network

WHEN it comes to ‘over-pronation’, a common question is ‘how much is over?’. With no hard and fast rules, it’s best to choose a shoe that instinctively feels right. Gait analysis can often assist in helping you make this choice and your specialist running store is always a good place to start if in doubt. To help you make that choice, here’s a selection of some of the best ‘support’ shoes around.
