Finding a solid running shoe without spending $150+ is harder than it should be. We tested six pairs across different surfaces and distances to find the ones worth your money. The criteria: durability past 300 miles, adequate cushioning for daily runs, and heel-to-toe drop that works for midfoot strikers. Three pairs made the cut.
We put this through its paces in real training sessions and give you the full breakdown — what works, what doesn’t, and whether it’s worth your money.
