Where do you plan to run?
- Light trail: Best for well-groomed trails
- Rugged trail: Work on a wide variety of terrain, including technical trails
- Off trail: A more aggressive design protects you on rocky, extremely variable terrain
Cushion comes down to “feel” vs. “float”
- Minimal and barefoot cushioning: little to no padding, more ground feel
- Moderate cushioning: more traditional ride
- Maximum cushioning: softest, bounciest ride
Check the heel-to-toe drop
Barefoot and minimalist shoes are very flat with 0-4 mm drop. Moderate and maximalist shoes have higher drop. Choose what you're used to.
Consider the fit
Don't assume you know your size—go to your local REI or running-shoe store to get a fit assessment. Happy running!

Depending on your gait, you may need a stability shoe. But most runners will fare well with a neutral shoe.
Make sure the shoe fits.
No breaking in periods, period! Your shoe should fit well from the get go.
