Experts—including a three-time marathoner, a running coach, an ultramarathon winner, and a podiatrist—weigh in on the right running shoes for trails, marathons, and more.

In addition to the soft foam midsole, you also get plenty of padding around the ankle to keep your foot cradled in place (without causing unnecessary blisters). Adidas recommends this shoe for everyday runs up to 12 miles—perfect for beginners who don’t want to shell out extra cash just for some spring in their step.
