Recommendations on good running shoes for women, outdoors running? First time runner here, F, in my mid 40’s.

There are stores who specialize in running shoes that can help you analyze which shoes fit your best in terms of your fit and form. The shies that worked best for me were the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22. They're a very reliable pair works in any condition and have great durability and stability.

LOOOVE THIS PAIR!!

It really depends on your running form, foot shape, and comfort needs. Every brand has neutral and stability shoes (designed to correct pronation issues). When we started running, my husband and I went to a Fleet Feet store. They put us on a treadmill and videotaped our form while running and from there suggested shoes in multiple brands. When we tried them on, we went out and ran on the sidewalk to get an idea of comfort level. I discovered that I can’t wear Brooks; they pinch my toes. I like a big toe box. As I’ve progressed, I’ve changed shoes as well. I started in ASICS with the Kayano, but now I wear Saucony. I’ve not had any luck with Nike because they break down too quickly. Once you know what works for you, I would buy them online and get the previous year’s model on sale so you don’t have to spend $150 a pair. Have fun!

Not a fan of Nike either.

My favorite have been ASICS and HOKA.

Highly recommend you go to a specialty running store with the machine that analyzes your feet

ASICS are my go to, but definitely go to a running store. They can analyze your feet and how you run

BROOKS!!! absolutely love them I own five pairs of them. Use their online shoe finder quiz make sure to try some on in a store and they have some money back guarantee if you don’t like them

Hokaaaaaaa

Yep, agree with all the above. If you are running regularly you need to be fitted by a runner who knows running shoes. As an example, Hokas are great shows but they are WAY more support than I need, which would result in me messing up my stride. Go somewhere they actually watch you run in different shoes. Happy running!

Go to a specialty running show store and try a bunch on after they fit you. They told me to size up a full size to allow room for your foot to expand while running which I never knew.

I kid you not, best thing I have done for myself in 2022.

Go minimialist with running shoes. Get the Vivo Primus Trail II FGs. I can say that I will never go back and I wish I had done this sooner. It turns out the whole ground feel thing is more than just hype. Love it!

I have vivos and I love themmmm

I recently discovered Blissfeel shoes from Lululemon. It doesn't skimp on the cushioning like other running shoes I've worn. It's somehow similar to Nike Air Zoom Pegasus.

I love under armour's women's charged vantage 2 running shoes. Very chic looking and comfortable on my feet.

My first pair when I was just starting out running were from Hoka and I fell in love with them instantly, but after years of wear, I've been looking for an upgrade from the sane brand. I just got myself the Hoka Rincon 3 as a Christmas gift as I've heard great things about it.

Hello! My suggestion would be Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit. Hope this helps!

I only have one pair of running shoes. It's the Adidas Supernova Boost! It's really comfortable to wear and can pair it so many outfits or workout clothes.

Hey there! I am currently using the Adidas Astrarun Boost. I love them. They're so comfy and perfect for running.

I love love love my Brooks! I tried Nike and Adidas butfelt like the designs were too chunky. Am also a fan of Asics but sometimes they feel a little too mom for me, idk if that's just me thogh

Hoka and they sell them at Nordstrom rack. I also like Brooks or Ash

Like others have said, it really depends on your foot shape and the way you run. When I ran xc in high school, I was a Nike person for sure. But my dad could never do Nikes comfortably. Not that my posture/weight/running style/etc has changed, I mostly stick to adidas. But I'm thinking of trying out NOBULL because they've been recommended by several people.

How do you respond to a super close friend who says they're not making masks mandatory at their June wedding (about 150 guests) because they want to have fun. To be fair, most people are vaccinated but not everyone os going to be vaccinated. I haven't been to any large gatherings in pver a year and even though im vaccinated, i don't think this is safe. Are people are generally careful? I dont think so... am i overthinking this?
