As we all know, the key to a great workout starts with a great pair of footwear, so, when it comes to choosing the best pair of running shoes for the trail or treadmill, there are a few things we need to consider.
Whether you’re running to stay active, to tone up, or to manage your mental health, a good shock-absorbing, comfortable and of course, nice pair of trainers is literally essential.
We're going to explore the most high-performance, purposeful and aesthetically charged silhouettes from industry leaders to define what the best running shoes are on the market right now, taking into consideration both technology and design.

If you’re into thicker soles on footwear in general, then a pair of running shoes from HOKA, Brooks or Norda will probably be what you're drawn to, as all 3 brands produce more chunky footwear options, usually with a solid platform. If you’re into slimmer footwear options with a more active-aesthetic, then you’ll probably be feeling the classic ASICS Gel-Kayano or Nike's Flyknit type of silhouettes. And if you’re really into the running look and are wanting to try something new, then ON running sneakers might just grab your attention. And finally, If you're like us, and love pairs which can low-key double up as a lifestyle shoe, then the HOKA Mafate Speed 3, ASICS Gel-Kayano 14, and the ON Cloudmonster are absolute killer combos.
Investing in a good pair of running shoes will instantly enhance your workout, and finding the perfect pair truly has the power to fuel your motivation, enhance your performance and statistically, change your overall mood, some say they're that new precious psilocybin pill.
A key trick when it comes to choosing workout gear is to buy products you love wearing and feel amazing in. This way you will actually want to work out on the days when it seems a little trickier. The right workout in the right gear will have you feeling 10x better than when you woke up, so choosing the products you love is absolutely essential.
A key favourite brand here at GP HQ right now is HOKA. I personally got my first pair last year when they collaborated with Moncler Genius, and when I tell you comfort is literally next level, I'm not lying. Specific silhouettes we recommend are the HOKA Bondi 7, the most cushioned pair in HOKA’s road-running shoe archive and suitable for any distance. The HOKA Arahi 6, which is HOKA’s OG stability shoe, which combines minimum weight with maximum comfort and cushioning. And finally, their latest creation, the HOKA Carbon X 3, which features an even more propulsive and energized midsole, a new premium performance knit, carbon fibre plate and Meta-Rocker, it’s also vegan, features PROFLY and is perfect for racing.
ASICS Gel-technology is one of the OG technologies, and one that's hard to move away from once you've started to make use of it, and with Kiko Kostadinov fully cemented in the sport style family, it's tough not to fall in love with their fresh, updated designs. The now famous Gel-Kayano 14 is essential for any runner's shoe collection. The pair even ended up winning a prize for the best running shoe a couple of years ago, and with a medal like that, it makes the brand a real tough one to beat when it comes to design and performance. If youre going for more comfort over performance, then look no further than the Novablast. This pair might actually be one of the most comfortable pairs of trainers we have tried out, but make sure to size up for an even smoother step.
If you've been thinking about it, It might just be time to try a pair of ON running shoes. We also were not too sure about these for a while, but having recently tried them, we really couldn't not recommend them on this list. Their expertly developed Cloudtec ensures a highly adaptive sole that will reduce your heart rate and muscle fatigue. Its multi-directional cushioning activates itself only when you need it and reacts to your unique movements. The cloud sole produces the ideal platform for explosive take-offs, ensuring you use your skills and momentum to the best of your ability.
Inspired by Canada's toughest conditions, NORDA's 001 Sneakers are the world's first seamless and lightest pair of trail running shoes made from Bio-Dyneema, the world's lightest and strongest material, proving that performance and sustainability can co-exist to, and even in an aesthetically pleasing way. Again we recommend going half or full size up on these pairs, to ensure the most comfortable step. A newcomer in the footwear space challenging the status quo of sustainability, sneakers and design.
