On Cloud Terry
It’s not every day that a new footwear brand can enter the industry and push against the big competitors. On (On Running) has been able to do so through Swiss engineering and stellar marketing campaigns—case in point, they successfully signed Roger Federer to be the face of the brand. The Cloud sneaker is one of their best-selling models. Its unique outsole is lightweight, impact-resistant, and responsive to all directions of movement. If you’re the kind of runner that likes to hit the trails every now and then, you can trust these to get you over uneven terrain when needed.
Reebok Floatride Energy 3
Reebok Floatride Energy 3’s weigh a lofty 8.5 ounces and come with a 9mm drop, perfect for taking full strides when out on the pavement. They feature a square knit upper so your feet stay cool, and their Floatride Energy midsole delivers a cushioned, yet supportive, feel for the casual runner. Simply put, Floatride 3’s are to runners as the third bowl of porridge is to Goldilocks—just right.

Ultraboosts have a loyal following for a reason. The exceptionally soft boost technology makes you feel as if you’re standing on a cloud, and their futuristic design is bound to impress those you pass by. They’re a little more on the expensive side, but this is one running shoe you’ll be happy you invested in.
Asics Trabuco Max
Asics are one of the best when it comes to running shoes. The Trabuco Max is their answer to an all-terrain, highly durable trail running shoe. Features include a responsive toe spring to save energy while running and a unique rubber compound outsole to better handle wet and slippery surfaces. Oh, and we also love the lace lock system on these bad boys.
