Road Running Shoes
48 shoes · ranked by CoreScore
Road running shoes are the deepest category in the catalogue, spanning $65 budget trainers to $290 carbon racers. Every shoe below is scored on the same measured data — weight, heel drop, stack height, midsole hardness on a durometer, and energy return — so a daily trainer and a race-day shoe can be compared honestly. Sorted by CoreScore; use the finder quiz for picks matched to your feet, gait, and mileage.
