7 Best Running Shoes for Women

A molded sockliner mimics your foots shape for added support and comfort. Reviewers mention, “They’re like walking on clouds.”

The mesh material that these shoes are made of is soft and breathable which allows air to continuously flow through the shoe. This is a good thing because hot, sweaty feet can cause unwanted blisters.

The fit feels like you’re wearing a sock with a sole, literally. If you don’t like a lot of bulk weighing you down, you’ll definitely love these shoes.

Ouch. These Nikes are a bit pricey but not too much more than the average. They’re not cheap, but if you’re willing to spend the extra dollars, you’ll have endless color options and sexy looking feet.

Heel grid system offers stable cushioning, while the wide toe box is roomier than most so feet feel relaxed and not squished. No break in period on these bad boys, Saucony’s got you covered on that from day 1!

Designed with 100% mesh for increased breathability and airflow, Saucony definitely created the Women’s Cohesion Running show with comfort in mind.

Extremely light, but also provides substantial support for overpronation both in terms of arch and side design. Another little added feature reviewers love is the added hole for your shoe string, if you so desire, which results in a no-slip feeling fit.

Depending on the color and size you select, this shoe will likely cost you between $50 and $80—which is an excellent value and by far at the low end for a quality running shoe.

The BioMoGo DNA and DNA cushioning work together for provide the perfect balance of softness and durability, feels lighter and more comfortable than ever.

No matter how your foot lands, the integrated system of shock absorbers will cushion every steep for a smooth, stable ride.

The mesh body is so lightweight and breathable that you’ll barely feel like you’re wearing anything at all. Oooh la la!

Neutral support, medium to high arch, and DNA LOFT heel crash pad for softer landings. Additionally, by placing stretch and structure where you need it most, the newly engineered Ghost 11 will practically disappear on your foot.

Depending on the size and color you choose, these tennies will run you anywhere between $85 and $200. At the lower end, this shoe is an excellent value. Anything over $120-$150 and the value definitely starts to decrease.

The rubber outsole will help you to grip both wet and dry surfaces for a comfortable wear. Additionally, extra added cushion will make these shoes your go to for even the longest of runs.

The textile and synthetic blend of materials is actually far more breathable than you would expect, this is actually one of the categories reviewers were most impressed with when it comes to the Adidas Boost.

The molded synthetic midfoot and heel overlays for stability and support. Additionally, Torsion System provides added midfoot integrity you don’t typically see in a running shoe. Additionally, the built in energy-returning properties of the Adidas Boost (yes, it’s a thing) will keep every step charged with an endless supply of light and fast energy.

Depending upon the size and color you select, this running shoe will run you right around $129. While that doesn’t make this the most expensive option on our list, it definitely is the best value.

The completely revamped Vibram outsole with a softer, more flexible upper dramatically enhances the traction you’ll be able to get for a comfortable wear both uphill and downhill.

The 100% fabric and leather combination does not make these the most breathable running shoe.

The lace up Altra Women’s Olumpus Trail Running shoe features a FootShape toe box, padded collar, and 36-mm stack height which make these a great option for trail running (surprise, surprise). Additionally, traction and durability improvements have also lead to a reduction in weight for a faster, more aerodynamic ride. Finally, an a-bound bottom layer will put a spring in your step, with the eva top later taking the bite out of rugged terrain.

At right around $150 (slightly more or slightly less depending on the size/color you choose) these shoes are great if you’re really in search of a good option for trailing running, but most definitely one of the pricier options on our list.
