The 18 best running shoes for men in 2025, according to podiatrists and runners
For flat-footed athletes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24
Everyday trainers that'll last: Nike Pegasus 41
Plush shoes for runners with arthritis: Hoka Bondi 9
Trail runners with a cult following: Altra Lone Peak 9 When it comes to men's running shoes, there's no such thing as one-size-fits-all. The same gear a trail runner uses to race up a mountain won't do much for a new runner sprinting on a treadmill. Throw in different body types, running gaits, training goals and budgets, and it's clear: Finding the right pair of running shoes takes more than just a flashy design.
To give you an idea of which shoes are best suited for your specific needs, I turned to four seasoned running experts to help build a standout lineup. Whether you're lacing up for your first lope or chasing a new personal best, there's something here for everyone. The experts also shared practical, no-nonsense tips on how to choose the right shoes. Here's what they recommend.
Brooks Men's Adrenaline GTS 24
Using Brooks' cushy DNA Loft v3 foam and GuideRails technology (like training wheels on a bike), the Adrenaline GTS 24 offers extra stability on the road. They're a prime recommendation of Dr. Miguel Cunha, podiatrist and the founder of Gotham Footcare, for overpronators and patients with flat feet.Mount to Coast Men's P1
Though Mount to Coast doesn't have mainstream brand recognition, Dr. Priya Parthasarathy, podiatric surgeon and spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association, reaches for the brand's P1 stability shoes, which she said are superb for pronators who run long distances. Like many of the shoes on this list, they also come stamped with the American Podiatric Medical Association's (APMA) Seal of Acceptance.Brooks Men's Addiction GTS 15
Dr. Mark Mendeszoon, a multiboard-certified podiatrist and running shop owner, recommends this responsive, extra-supportive model for overpronators with knee, hip or other lower extremity problems. They're so good that you shouldn't need insoles or orthotics, he said. Plus, they come in four widths, from narrow to extra wide.Mizuno Men's Wave Inspire 21
For 2025, Mizuno updated the Wave Inspire with a wider forefoot and extra cushioning, and Mendeszoon likes them because they are a solid buy for responsive stability. But what makes the Wave Inspire really stand apart is their 12-millimeter heel-to-toe drop, which he said offers 'tremendous heel shock absorption,' to mitigate aggressive heel striking.
Hoka Men's Arahi 7
The beefy midsoles on the Hoka Arahi 7 will keep excess pronation in check, Mendeszoon said. Combine that with the stellar shock absorption, outstanding breathability and roomy toe boxes, and you can see why these are another of his favorites.
Brooks Men's Beast GTS 24
Whether you've got severely flat feet, have had surgery or suffer from other foot problems, try Brooks' Beast model, Mendeszoon said. They offer some of the most support and cushioning out of Brooks' line and also make excellent walking shoes. The newest model features softer, more breathable uppers without sacrificing their roomy fit.
Nike Men's Pegasus 41
The versatile, durable Nike Pegasus 41, one of Cunha's favorites, epitomize what everyday trainers should aspire to. Upgrades in 2025 include an increase in the shoe's cushioning, more breathable uppers and an improved lacing system for a dialed fit.
Saucony Men's Ride 18
Like the Pegasus 41, the Saucony Ride 18 are like the Swiss Army knife of the road running world, offering something for long-distance runners, casual joggers and men who just want a comfy pair of walking shoes. Cunha added that they also accommodate most foot types and running styles.Brooks Men's Glycerin 22
If you're the kind of guy who likes to wear running shoes to the office and the gym, then the Glycerin 22 are the do-it-all model you're looking for. Parthasarathy said they're one of her top picks for everyday wear and running, thanks to the well-cushioned midsoles and wide toe boxes. You can also snag the Glycerin GTS 22, which offer more support for pronators.Hoka Men's Bondi 9
With their 'bouncy, cushioned feel,' Parthasarathy said she points patients to the Bondi 9 if they have fat pad atrophy or arthritis. The newest version has a higher stack height for an ultra-plush experience on the road.
Asics Men's Gel-Nimbus 27
'The Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 remains one of my top choices for neutral runners looking for extra cushioning and long-distance comfort,' Cunha said. For this year's model, expect an even higher, squishier midsole.
Hoka Men's Clifton 10
'For patients seeking all-around performance, the Hoka Clifton 10s offer superior cushioning and a smooth ride — ideal for heel strikers and long-distance runners,' Cunha said. The newest iteration also comes with more cushioning, a roomier forefoot and toe boxes.New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X 1080v14
Men with wide feet should test drive New Balance's 1080v14, Cunha said. The brand has equipped the cushioned, everyday running shoes with new, more breathable uppers and extra rubber for more durability.
Brooks Men's Ghost 17
Despite being hot off the assembly line, Parthasarathy is already recommending Ghost's newest model for its 'very responsive' design that will suit neutral or supinated gaits. At time of publication, they're available for preorder at Brooks.
Altra Men's Lone Peak 9
Contributing writer Cassandra Brooklyn called the Altra Lone Peak some of the best hiking shoes you can buy. They have a cult-like following among trail runners too, and received plaudits from Cunha for their wide toe boxes and zero-drop platforms, 'which promote natural foot movement.'Read our review
La Sportiva Men's Bushido 3
After runners on staff logged more than 100 miles in 13 popular trail running shoes, the Bushido 3 emerged as our favorite, impressing testers with their sticky rubber, cooling ventilation and aggressive lugs. Keep in mind, however, that these are truly specialist shoes that won't work well on the road or for casual exercise in the gym.Read our review
Brooks Men's Cascadia 18
Whereas the Bushido 3 would be overkill for road running, our testers found the Cascadia versatile enough to take on- and off-road. (We tested the 17, which are very similar.) They've got rock plates and overlays to protect you when the terrain is tough, and just enough cushioning for long walks, hikes and road runs.Read our review
Hoka Men's Speedgoat 6
Though our trail running experts at CNN Underscored haven't tried the newest model of the Speedgoat, an earlier iteration is our pick for long-distance trail runs and ultramarathons. Highlights include flexible uppers that expand as your feet swell and comfy cushioning.
Read our review 'The right running shoes can make a big difference in preventing injuries, improving comfort and keeping the entire body in better alignment while running,' Cunha said.
Know your gait pattern
Cunha believes your gait, the way you move when you run, is a key factor when choosing the best pair of running shoes, and he noted three gait or stride patterns:
Pronation: When your feet roll inward.
Supination: When your feet roll outward.
Neutral: When your feet distribute weight evenly.
And though this may sound technical, figuring out your own gait doesn't have to be. 'Going to your local run shop and getting an in-person gait analysis is absolutely the best way to have veteran eyes tell you what shoe is best for you,' Sackett said. Or, if you're willing to do a little DIY investigation, Cunha suggests looking at the wear patterns on your old shoes to get a better idea of how your feet hit the ground when you run.
Find shoes that fit
Once you know your gait pattern and terrain, the last thing to consider is the right fit. 'A proper fit helps prevent pain, blisters and injuries like plantar fasciitis or toenail trauma,' Cunha said. 'If it feels off in the store, it'll feel worse on a run.'
Look for running shoes that fit snug but not tight, with about a thumb's-width of space between your big toes and the ends of the shoes. 'The toe box should be wide enough to wiggle your toes, and the shoe should bend at the ball of the foot, not through the arch,' he added.
Another pro tip? Make sure you try on your shoes at the right time of day. Parthasarathy recommends shopping toward the end of the day, after a run, when your feet are most swollen. 'If they feel good then, they'll likely feel good during a run,' Cunha added.
Still not sure what to buy? Lean on a podiatrist or a trusted staffer at a specialty running store for guidance. 'Running shoes are the best they've ever been, and nowadays you can really find something for every running style,' Sackett said.
The following FAQs have been answered by podiatrists Dr. Miguel Cunha and Dr. Priya Parthasarathy, and product line manager at Brooks, Lee Sacket.

What are the best running shoes for beginners?
'For someone just getting into running, I always recommend starting with a balanced, 'perfect blend' type of shoe,' Sackett said, 'so you can start to unpack the features and feelings that you like and dislike on the run while still staying protected and comfortable.'
In technical terms, he said to find a pair with a medium stack height (28 millimeters to 36 millimeters), a soft, responsive midsole, an upper that fits comfortably with the contours of your feet and enough stretch for your toes to spread out.

Parthasarathy and Cunha said that it's important to replace shoes every 300 to 500 miles. 'Worn-out shoes can lead to heel pain, shin splints, knee pain or even back issues,' Cunha said. You can also try bending shoes to check wear, Parthasarathy said. If they bend in half, it's time for a new pair.
Are there differences between men's and women's running shoes?
Are there differences between men's and women's running shoes?
'At Gotham Footcare, I often explain to my patients that women's running shoes are typically designed with a narrower heel, softer cushioning and a different arch design to accommodate anatomical differences,' Cunha said. 'Men's shoes tend to be wider and built with slightly firmer midsoles to support greater body weight and wider foot structure.'
That said, 'fit and function' matter most, regardless of gender, according to Cunha. If you're a guy who prefers a pair of women's running shoes, wear those instead.

This is what happens to your body if your shoes don't fit right
Even comfortable shoes can throw your body out of alignment. Experts reveal how everyday footwear can trigger pain in your back, hips, knees, and more—and what to wear instead. Colored MRI-style X-ray shows a lace-up boot enclosing the foot and directing pressure along the arch and ankle. By shaping how the foot moves and bears weight, footwear like this can influence posture, gait, and pain throughout the body. Photograph By Nick Veasey,Science Photo Library You might not think much about your shoes when running errands—dropping the kids off, picking up groceries, swinging by the pharmacy. But the footwear you choose for these everyday moments could be shaping your health more than you realize. Ill-fitting footwear can worsen or cause foot ailments like bunions, corns, calluses, and toenail issues. 'Your feet are the foundation of your body,' says Miguel Cunha, a podiatrist and owner of Gotham Footcare. 'Having improper footwear, or shoes that are not supporting you, is going to have an impact on the rest of your body, whether it's from the standpoint of fatigue or creating imbalance in anatomical alignment.' Understanding what's behind these changes is the first step to preventing pain that can spread beyond your feet. How your shoes cause pain To move efficiently and without pain, your feet need footwear that supports their natural motion. 'Every time we walk, our feet need to be able to change shape,' says Otto Lam, a physical therapist at Good Reps Therapy. The heel should strike first, the foot should roll forward, and the toes should spread before pushing off—but the wrong shoe can disrupt this sequence. 'If someone with wider feet is in a narrow shoe, perhaps they won't be able to get their foot to fully conform to the ground, or, as we call it, pronate,' Lam says. That restriction can shorten steps and force the hips and lower back to work harder to move forward. Over time, these small compensations can lead to persistent pain, throw off your gait, strain your joints, and exacerbate balance issues. Colored MRI-style X-ray shows a stiletto shoe elevating the heel and forcing the foot into a downward angle. This altered position shifts body weight forward, changing gait mechanics and increasing strain on the knees, hips, and lower back. Photograph By Nick Veasey, Science Photo Library Certain shoe styles create their own problems. Flip-flops, for instance, 'can cause us to grip or claw our toes to keep [the shoes] on,' Lam says. The gripping prevents the toes from relaxing or spreading out, which is necessary for standard walking mechanics. Not only can it create tension in the arches, but it may also cause pain in the calf muscles. Flatter or worn shoes with little arch support can also cause inner knee pain. High heels shift body weight forward, straining the forefoot and lower back. Slip-ons, minimalist shoes, and platforms can limit stability or natural motion, causing muscles to overwork. (Why walking barefoot can actually help your feet.) Even a single uncomfortable shoe can change how you walk. 'Let's say my right foot is uncomfortable and not my left in that shoe that I choose for whatever reason,' Lam says. 'I'm going to shorten my stride and put more weight on the other leg putting more stress on that side's knee, hip, and lower back.' Whether it's a bad fit, worn-out cushioning, or a mismatch between shoe design and foot shape, the wrong footwear can quietly set off a chain reaction of discomfort throughout the body. How to identify shoe-related pain One of the first things Cunha asks his patients to do is place their shoes on the exam table—because the wear patterns tell a story. 'We all pronate when we walk, which is when our arch collapses. But if you overpronate then, you're obviously going to have more wear and tear on the inside of the shoe and on the heel.' This causes your foot to roll inward, followed by your leg, which can lead to various issues, including plantar fasciitis on the foot, Achilles tendonitis in the ankle, inner knee pain, hip pain, and lower back pain. (The overlooked key to fitness? Strengthening your joints and tendons.) To pinpoint the cause, Cunha often performs a gait analysis. Sometimes it's done in the office, but even a simple video of a patient walking toward and away from the camera can reveal abnormalities in stride or posture. These clues help determine whether pain stems from the body's mechanics or from footwear that doesn't match the wearer's needs. 'Even if you don't have foot problems, if you have back problems, I'd recommend custom orthotics,' Cunha says. While over-the-counter inserts can help in mild cases, custom orthotics are molded to your foot's unique shape and movement pattern, making them more effective for correcting imbalances that lead to chronic pain. How to find the proper footwear for you Once you know what's causing the pain, focus on finding shoes that match your foot shape and movement. Flat feet may benefit from stability shoes with firm midsoles, while high arches often need extra cushioning to absorb shock. Wide feet require shoes with a roomier toe box, while narrow feet may need a snugger fit to avoid slipping. Both Cunha and Lam recommend shopping for shoes in person. Not only can you test the fit for yourself, but you can also get your foot measured with a Brannock Device by someone who knows how to interpret the measurements. The device measures length, width, and arch length to determine the best shoe size. 'I always tell patients to buy their shoes at the end of the day when their feet are most swollen and they're in their worst shape due to the cumulative effect of effects of gravity,' Cunha says. Putting on a shoe that fits properly should provide some relief to your body. 'You can feel it in your back. You'll feel lighter. Even walking around the store, you'll feel your back pain ease up a little bit.' For durability and anatomical support, Cunha recommends choosing shoes approved by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine. 'The shoe brands I recommend are Hoka, Brooks, Saucony, New Balance, and ASICS,' he says. 'They're fit over fashion.' (The definitive list of running shoes for every kind of runner, according to pros.) It's also important to remember that even the best shoes have a lifespan. Walking or running shoes often last 300–500 miles, or about 6–12 months of regular wear. Everyday sneakers may last longer, but should be replaced when the tread wears down, the midsole feels flat, or new aches develop. Inspect them regularly for worn soles, compressed cushioning, or changes in support, and pay attention to any new aches in your feet or ankles that a shift in activity can't explain, Lam says. Ultimately, the right shoe is the one that feels good on both feet and supports the way you naturally move. 'Our bodies are interconnected,' Cunha says. 'You have to treat the whole body and treat its individual components.'

I've tested over 30 running shoes — here are the best for beginners, arch support and more
Not all workout shoes are made the same. The best training shoes can make you more grounded and stable while lifting heavy weights. The best running shoes are made to make a marathon feel more like a mile. Pickleball shoes … you get the idea. The team at NBC Select has raced in 5K, 10Ks, half-marathons and marathons. To find the best men's running shoes on the market, I spoke with fitness and medical professionals to better understand what to look for. Then, I ran all over New York City in dozens of the top models. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. How we picked the best men's running shoes There are hundreds of running shoes on the market from dozens of big brands. I spoke with experts to help narrow down what goes into the perfect pair. Size: Fit is the most important part of any pair of running shoes, according to our experts. That's why I highlighted shoes with inclusive sizes and widths. I also included sizing information below each recommendation. Cushioning: A comfortable footbed, with a supportive insole and midsole, is another essential, says Dr. Miguel Cunha, podiatrist and founder of Gotham Footcare. The insole and midsole are between the upper and lower section of the shoe. Insoles made with memory foam or a shock-absorbing EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) can help to support the arch and reduce impact on your joints. Price: Running shoes can be expensive. I included options across a range of price points between $65 and $260. How I tried men's running shoes I have been running regularly as part of my fitness routine for the past five years. I live in New York City and typically run outside on pavement two to three times a week. My distance ranges between three and seven miles, and I use a fitness tracker to help guide my pace. I wear a size 10 shoe in a medium width, and generally prefer cushioned shoes with neutral support, as they mitigate knee pains more than other shoes I've tried. To try new running shoes, I wear them for at least a week and follow my usual routine. I do at least one normal run, one tempo run and one long run to see how the shoes handle different speeds and distances. The best running shoes for men in 2025 Our recommendations come from a mix of expert, NBC Select staff and personal recommendations from brands like Asics, Brooks, Hoka and Saucony. Each brand offers dozens of different models — this is not an all-inclusive list of every shoe you may (or may not) enjoy from these brands. All our recommendations are road running shoes. You can find shoes for rough terrain in our guides to trail running shoes and hiking shoes. Best for beginners I've worn a few different versions of the Brooks Ghost over the years. They are one of my go-to shoe recommendations for someone just starting to run, or anyone unsure of what they need out of their running shoes. They are well-balanced and they have enough support to be comfortable, enough cushion to go the distance and enough toe box space to accommodate a variety of foot shapes. Plus, they come in four different width options and loads of colors. This model from Asics is more responsive than Brooks Ghost, and is a great fit for all-around training at most paces. The shoe feels roomy enough to avoid pressure points and cushioned enough to handle longer runs without being so tall that they feel unstable. And like many Asics models, the back of the heel and top of the upper have fabric loops that make it easier to slip the shoe on. Compared to super cushioned shoes, I can feel the ground more, primarily in the toe box, making it easier to push off for a burst of speed. However, there is a little straining depending on your distance and tolerance for repetitive impact. My pick I've been running in these shoes for most of 2025, and they have quickly become a favorite for steady, comfortable miles. They balance weight, cushion, responsiveness and traction well, making them a good fit for most kinds of running outside high-speed training. Plus they are easy to wear: the tongue is stretchy and comfortable, the laces are long and durable and I've never had any issues taking the shoe on and off. If you are looking for a more affordable running shoe, Cunha recommends the Cohesion line from Saucony. They are comfortable, supportive, durable and provide great shock-absorption for every day running, says Cunha. They are the most affordable of all our top picks at around $70. Best overall Multiple NBC Select staffers (myself included) love the New Balance Fresh Foam X series for daily running, walking and everything in between. NBC Select commerce editor Jordan Bowman wears this latest 1080v14 on most of his runs — the shoe strikes a great balance of comfort, cushioning, weight and speed. Though they are more cushioned than many daily trainers, they are excellent for running a casual pace over long distance and hard pavement. The slightly knobby tread on the outsole gives added confidence and traction on uneven surfaces and unpleasant weather. Plus, the shoe has some of the most inclusive size and width options of our recommendations. I rarely feel joint or knee pain running in these max cushion shoes, regardless of the distance. They are very comfortable at every touch point (all the places your foot contacts the shoe) thanks to the stretchy tongue, soft knit lining around the upper and extra padding around the ankle. Plus, there is an exterior loop near the heel that makes them easy to take on and off. These are the heaviest shoes on our list. I wouldn't recommend them for setting any personal records during a race, but for recovery runs or long, steady miles pounding pavement, these are a great option. Best for wide feet and bunions These cushioned, chunky shoes have a spacious and wide toe box — Cunha recommends them for people with wide feet or bunions. The seamless elastic upper mesh reduces pressure and friction on bunions during runs, says Cunha. While I do not have wide feet, I've tried a few Cliton models over the years: the toe-box is always roomy and never scrunched my toes. Despite the cushioning, they are surprisingly lightweight, more so than many of our other top picks. Cunha recommends the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 for anyone who needs reliable arch support. He points to the shoes' EVA foam midsole, running from the heel to the front of the shoe. This midsole increases cushioning and adds pronation control, says Cunha. If you tend to roll your foot inward (overpronate) or outward (underpronate), this pronation control can help guide and balance your stride. All Brooks GTS shoes have extra support around the rear of the shoe to reduce excess movement and help keep your stride natural and neutral, according to the brand. I've worn both Adrenaline and Adrenaline GTS shoes before. I found that the GTS version did help me keep a more natural stride. Best overall The Saucony Endorphin Speed series has long been a favorite tempo shoe for runners on team NBC Select, both men and women. They are the lightest non-race shoes on our list, and you notice it when you lace them up — they are light, fast and bouncy. The shape naturally rolls from step to step, encouraging a speedy pace — standing still or running slowly felt unnatural. Part of that speed comes from the winged nylon plate in the footbed, which delivers energy return without being quite as stiff as a carbon-plated race shoe. The Mach 6 is one of Hoka's latest speed shoes, and has a new foam midsole and redesigned collar and tongue area. The tongue is thin and light, and sewn together in a way that wraps around your foot, helping it stay in place during bursts of speed. These shoes strike a great balance between cushion and responsiveness — I feel fast, but not so connected to the pavement that every nook and cranny feels like a surprise. They seem a little more durable than the Endorphin Speed 5s, but have a relatively low heel drop of 5 millimeters that might not be for everyone. The best race day running shoes Expert pick If you want to splurge on marathon-day running shoes, Cunha recommends the Nike Vaporfly. They are the lightest shoes on our list by far at 6.7 ounces — version four being the lightest model yet. Inside is a full length carbon fiber plate, a common addition to race shoes that helps propel you forward, but feels a bit stiffer underfoot. Learn more about race day shoes in our guide to carbon plate running shoes. How to shop for men's running shoes There are hundreds of running shoes to choose from in the men's section alone. Our experts highlighted a few essential things to keep in mind as you shop for your next favorite pair. Try them on in-person Both Cunha and Zach Moxham, a certified personal trainer at Physical Equilibrium in New York City, recommend going to a local running shoe store for the best fit possible. Specialty running shoe stores tend to have knowledgeable staff who can better inform you about running shoe options and recommendations, says Cunha. They also typically have more measuring tools to take advantage of, including foot scans, gait analysis and treadmill analysis — try everything and anything, says Moxham. Fit is crucial A poor-fitting running shoe isn't going to be comfortable, no matter how stylish it may look. If you plan to buy shoes in person, buy them at the end of the day when your feet are most swollen, says Cunha. That's because if they feel comfortable when your feet are most swollen, they will likely feel comfortable throughout the day. Cunha also says to try on at least three different models of shoe, even two different models at the same time, one on each foot, to get a good feel for the fit. Pay special attention to the toe box — the area around your toes, says Cunha and Moxham. 'Make sure there is enough room to slightly wiggle your toes,' says Cunha. 'If you can't move your toes at all then the shoes are too tight and will eventually become painful. The tip of your thumb should fit between the end of the shoe and the end of your longest toe.'
