Hello, I'm Edwin. You need running shoes — just say where you run and how often, and we can work through it together.
Choosing running shoes: volume, surface, reference shoe
How much someone runs and on what settles cushioning and outsole; the shoe that already fitted settles size and last. Together that produces a short list. Edwin is an AI advisor and does not replace a gait analysis in a specialist shop.
- Road and trail need different outsoles. A trail tread on tarmac wears faster and runs less smoothly.
- The shoe that fitted before, with its size, is the most reliable thing you can give — sizes differ between brands.
- Running shoes are usually chosen half a size up from everyday shoes, because the foot swells while running.
- Cushioning is not a quality marker but a trade-off: more of it protects at high mileage and costs ground feel.
How often should running shoes be replaced?
Cushioning fades with distance run, not with time in the cupboard. Regular runners usually notice the point through new aches before the outsole looks worn.
Do I need a stability shoe?
That cannot be answered from a distance. If you have pain, an analysis in a specialist shop or a physiotherapist’s assessment serves you better than a category in an online shop.
