Lightweight, bouncy, and with just enough cushion, these shoes are great for long runs, speedwork, and everything in between. They have been a favorite of runners for decades because of their versatility. If you are going to have a single training shoe, this is a great option.

If you prefer a shoe that offers some extra cushioning, you can't go wrong with the adidas Ultraboost. The signature Boost foam is bouncy and responsive, which makes for a great all-around trainer if you need the extra protection.

One of America's favorite shoes, the Brooks Ghost is a popular choice for many reasons. It fits well, is lightweight, and holds up mile after mile. While it may not be flashy, it is a comfortable and reliable shoe to carry you through your longest runs.

Hoka is known for their high-cushion, lightweight shoes, and the Mach 4 is one of the lightest of them all. It offers a springy sole that is great for speedwork or races, if you prefer a shoe without carbon plating.

If cushion and support are what you crave, you cannot go wrong with a Kayano. Gel pads in the heel and forefoot give you that signature plush feel while a plastic heel counter and post prevent excessive overpronation.
