Road Running Shoes FAQs

What is the difference between neutral and stability running shoes?

Neutral shoes such as the Brooks Ghost let your foot move naturally, while stability shoes like the Brooks Adrenaline GTS and ASICS Gel-Kayano add support to stop the foot rolling inwards (overpronation).

How often should I replace my running shoes?

Most running shoes last between 300 and 500 miles. Replace them sooner if the midsole feels flat or you start to notice new aches after runs.
