Here at Richard Taylor Personal Training we have looked into what shoes are best for your style of running.
Stability Running
These trainers will be for all you runners who work at a mild to moderate intensity. Mainly with a low to mid arch, and need support from the trainer with a good comfort.
Here are 3 trainers for Stability-
1. Kalenji Kiprun MD £69.99
This brand is very popular in Europe for its great prices; their shoes are specialized for half marathons and come in neutral and stability options. The main negative this shoe received was about the high arches but a great review overall.
2. Saucony Stabil CS 3 £104.99
This shoe is known for it amazing pronation control. The shoe has been made so it curves around the heel for earlier support in the footstrike. This shoe is perfect for maximum support with not much weight.
3. Adidas Supernova Sequence 6 £95
As a well Known Brand Adidas can be a popular option but this shoe has impressed many buyers. The grip is said to be perfect in wet conditions. The shoe is heavier than most so for a personal choice of liking a more solid feel it’s perfect for you! On the other hand the trainer isn't very flexible leaving some buyers with a different opinion.

Now it is time for the Performance runners.
These trainers are recommended for racing, with varying degrees of support and cushioning, but tend to stay lightweight and narrower.
1. Adidas Adizero Adios Boost £110
This shoe gives great bounce and energy return and had a great following from its previous model, so high hopes were expected. Although the shoe is a great buy concern about the narrow arch and little support has a big effect.
2. Sketchers GOrun Speed £96
This shoe is perfect for a serious racer. The fit is narrower, and the mid-foot pods have been removed from their last model to reduce weight. The trainer was designed for Olympic marathoner Meb Keflezighi. Perfect choice!
Neutral Runners
Recommended for runners who need maximum mid-sole cushioning and medial support. Suitable for runners with normal to high arches. Best for biochemical efficient runners and mid-foot or forefoot strikers
1. Nike Air Pegasus+ 30 £85
This shoe is a great price and has great cushioning. As the previous models have been successful Nike have not changed the best-selling shoe and kept it perfections untouched. A great multi- purpose shoe.
2. Nike LunarGlide+ 5 £90
Nike has took the lead with the natural trainers having great reviews on most models, this particular model shone through with features such as its dynamic support wedge in the mid-sole. This shoe is perfect if you like a soft, light and stable feel.
