Q: Is there a difference between men’s and women’s running shoes?

There are slight differences between men's and women’s running shoes. The primary difference is in the width, as women have narrower feet than men. Some designs have uppers constructed slightly differently to account for the differences in foot shape.

Q: Are men’s running shoes good for walking?

Depending on the type of walking you have planned, wearing running shoes isn’t always a good idea. Walking has a lot less impact than running, so there isn’t as much need for cushioning. Also, a lightweight sports shoe may not give you the protection that you need. Walking shoes need to suit your gait, as well as the right level of flexibility. Some running shoes will be too flexible and will not provide the structure and support required for walking.

Q: How tight should men’s running shoes be?

Running shoes should fit snugly and laced accordingly, but bear in mind your feet will expand when you run. Breathable sports shoes with mesh uppers will help keep your feet cool. If you feel any numbness when you run, your shoes may be too tight. However, if you wear your running shoes too loose, your foot will slide around in the shoe.

Choosing the best men’s running shoes

Experience matters

As much as running style matters, so does experience. If you’re used to running in cushioned shoes, you shouldn’t switch up your style to a lighter model just before a marathon. If you’re a beginner, there are shoes designed specifically for you.

You can benefit from getting running shoes for men that offers an energy return with every stride, so no matter your level, you’ll have a spring with every step you take. A padded tongue and heel patch also helps to enhance comfort, so you won’t get distracted by niggling injuries such as blisters.

Add to that extra technological benefits and every runner can make the most of their performance. A sock-like fit and engineered mesh provides support to your feet throughout your run, so your sports shoes for men allow you to focus on the finish line. With breathable and sweat wicking materials used in most of the collection your feet will stay cool and dry for the whole race, so you can focus on the finish line.
