How to Choose the Best Running Shoes for You. BMW M GmbH Logo Yellow Sneaker

Good running shoes can make the difference between a run realized and a run refused. And though finding the right pair for your feet and goals can involve some trial and error, the payoff is real: You’ll have shoes that lay the groundwork for a comfortable, rewarding, and enduring pursuit—whether you’re running primarily for your health or for personal bests.

Neutral vs. stability running shoes – BMW M GmbH Logo Yellow Sneaker

Many running-shoe companies divide their shoes into two main categories: neutral and stability (or “motion-control”) shoes. A neutral shoe won’t affect your normal gait, but it will provide you with added support and cushion to protect your feet from the ground. Stability shoes, on the other hand, have denser foam along the arch of the foot. They may also have a stiffer heel, which reduces the foot’s side-to-side movement.

Everyone’s feet naturally pronate (roll to the inner edge) or supinate (roll to the outer edge) during each running stride. Pronation allows your foot to adapt to the landing surface.

What is heel-to-toe drop? BMW M GmbH Logo Yellow Sneaker

Heel-to-toe drop is the difference between the thickness of the shoe’s sole at the heel and the thickness at the forefoot. Traditional running shoes tend to have a thicker heel than front, or a heel-to-toe drop in the 10-mm to 12-mm range. This provides more cushioning under the heel, as you can see in this diagram.

How to find the right fit

Make sure you have at least a thumb’s width of space between your longest toe and the end of your shoe.
