I Ran 170 Miles in These Brooks Running Sneakers
Living in Southern California, I love taking advantage of my access to year-round nice weather as much as possible. At the start of the year, that meant joining my neighborhood run club and signing up for a half marathon this spring. I knew the training program would be rigorous, so I took steps right away to ensure I had the proper gear. Since I have struggled with shin and knee pain in the past, I started looking for a pair of sneakers with the right amount of arch support. I've been a fan of Brooks Running sneakers for years, and when I got the chance to try the Launch 11 shoes, I knew the start of my training was an ideal time to put them to the test. Brooks Running Launch 11 Brooks I have since worn them for more than 170 miles of running and walking with no discomfort or pain. They are lightweight and breathable, which has been helpful during long runs in the heat. I can still feel the support of the insole when wearing, and I anticipate I still have plenty of runs ahead of me in these shoes before they start to wear down. The Launch 11 features responsive cushioning that is ideal for daily runs and long days of walking, and the mesh material on top allows for ventilation that keeps feet dry and cool. The rubber sole offers increased traction, which not only provides more stability when running but also makes it a secure shoe to wear while walking on a variety of surfaces. While these have been dedicated training shoes for me, multiple shoppers note that they are an ideal option for daily use. One person said they are their 'new go-to shoes,' adding that they are great for 'all-day wear.' Another customer who suffers from chronic pain said their 'knees felt great' after running in these 'super comfortable, lightweight' shoes. A third review bought them for a European vacation and 'walked 41 miles in a week without any blisters or sore feet.' Keep scrolling to shop more supportive walking and running Brooks sneakers below.

2 New Drops From Brooks & New Balance Are Back From The Past & Sprinting Into The Future
The world of footwear is always evolving, constantly delivering new and exciting pairs for us to slip our feet into. From a bold original creation, to a reintroduction of a classic – here are new, killer kicks you gotta take a gander at. Brooks Cascadia 1 With the return of the Cascadia 1, a shoe that made its debut on the trails in 2004 and swiftly rose to fame, Brooks Running is going back to its roots. In collaboration with ultra-running champion and Brooks-sponsored trail athlete Scott Jurek, the Cascadia 1 was created with the goal of breaking new ground in trail-running innovation, rather than focusing solely on functionality. Back after 20 years, the shoe is not just breaking records in the mountains; it is also redefining lifestyle footwear standards on urban streets. This is not nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia. With the same ready-for-anything mentality that propelled Jurek across finish lines, the resurrected Cascadia 1 remains loyal to its origins; improved foam cushioning and a ballistic rock shield ensure a smooth transition from rough trail to urban jungle. Bold, daring, and unmissable, the classic yellow colourway is combined with modern accents and vintage technology like HydroFlow cushioning and Pivot Post stability. It is a dependable lifestyle essential that gives your outfit personality without compromising comfort. Something uncommon is provided by the Cascadia 1: authenticity with edge. It is a shoe for people who like bold design and understated innovation, as well as story and substance. The Cascadia 1 is a unique fusion of technical heritage and lifestyle flair, with Brooks' 110-year legacy behind it and an eye towards the future. Wearers are encouraged to create their own path rather than merely following one, whether that path is on concrete, dirt, or some other surface. Find the shoe that began it all again and style it however you like. You can visit to snag your very own reissued Cascadia 1 for US$140 (~RM592). Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance RC56 Since their 2019 partnership debut, Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance have consistently worked together. Some of the most well-liked recent releases from the American sportswear brand are featured in the pair's footwear. A brand-new model, the RC56, is expected to be the focus of their first new project for 2025. The Aimé Leon Dore x New Balance RC56 has leaked an early look, showing off the model's green, yellow, and silver colour scheme, which is contrasted with an off-white midsole and black accents. The new silhouette has a mesh base with synthetic overlays, though its technical details have not yet been made public. Additionally, the tongue that sits beneath an 'aimé' hit features model branding. This initial examination of the shoe is completed by the appearance of ALD's Queens Crest logo at the heel. Aimé Leon Dore and New Balance have not yet disclosed the arrival date of their joint campaign, which features the new RC56. We currently anticipate it to be released later this season via Aimé Leon Dore, New Balance, and a few other retailers. Prices for the shoe will be announced at a later date.
