Women's Fit: What Really Changes in the Shoe

A women's running shoe is not just a men's version in different colours. It is built on a narrower shape at the heel, to prevent the foot from slipping with each stride, with a snug forefoot and often a lower volume at the instep. Some brands also adjust the firmness of the foam for a lighter average weight, so that the cushioning works effectively. Choose your size at the end of the day, with your running socks on, leaving half an inch to a centimetre in front of the big toe: the foot swells and moves slightly forward over the miles. A runner with a wider foot may opt for a unisex model or a specific width if the brand offers it.

Supernova, Novablast, Vomero: Everyday Training Shoes

For casual runs and long outings, we're looking for a versatile cushioning that can handle the miles. The adidas Supernova Rise uses Dreamstrike+ foam, derived from the Adizero racing models, combined with support ribs placed under the foot to guide the stride. The Asics Novablast, without a plate, focuses on a very bouncy FF Blast Max foam and a so-called trampoline shape at the front of the foot; the Superblast, which is taller, targets long runs at a steady pace. The Nike Vomero combines lightweight ZoomX foam with a denser ReactX base for lasting comfort. These models are suitable for runners who go out three to four times a week.

Carbon Plate: Competition Shoes

Competition shoes combine very lightweight foam with a rigid piece that makes the stride more responsive at a fast pace. The adidas Adizero Adios Pro incorporates carbon rods, the Energyrods, which mirror the structure of metatarsals, under a double layer of Lightstrike foam Pro. The Puma Deviate Nitro relies on a carbon plate and nitrogen-injected foam. Since 2020, World Athletics has limited the sole thickness to forty millimetres for road races and allows only one rigid plate. These models are reserved for races and speed sessions: their foam wears out faster, and they require an established stride.

Runfalcon, Duramo, Galaxy: Starting Off in Running

To start out or run once or twice a week, a simple and comfortable shoe is more than enough. The adidas Runfalcon, Duramo, and Galaxy offer traditional foam cushioning, a breathable mesh upper, and a durable rubber outsole, without any unnecessary technology. The choice is made based on the comfort felt during fitting: a running shoe should not need breaking in. Sales are also a great opportunity to get a second pair to alternate, which gives the foam time to regain its shape between runs and extends the lifespan of both models.

Frequently Asked Questions

Road or trail shoes for running on paths?

On dry, stabilized paths, a road shoe is sufficient. As soon as the terrain becomes muddy, rocky, or steep, a trail shoe, with studs and a reinforced upper, provides the grip and protection needed.

Can you run in casual trainers?

For a few minutes, yes, but a casual trainer lacks the cushioning and flexibility of a running shoe. With regular outings, this lack of cushioning can tire the knees and tendons.

When should you replace your running shoes?

A training pair loses its cushioning beyond about six hundred to eight hundred kilometres. A smooth sole at the front, creased foam at the sides, or unusual knee pain signals that it's time to replace them.

Do you need a special shoe in case of pronation?

Most runners have a neutral stride and do not need corrective shoes. Stable models, reinforced on the inner side, cater to feet that clearly collapse inward, preferably after consulting a podiatrist.

How do you wash running shoes?

Remove the insoles and laces, then clean the upper with lukewarm water using a soft brush and a bit of soap. Dry them in the air, stuffed with newspaper, away from a radiator that can warp the foam.
