Shoe Finder: Road Running
Asking for more from your running shoes? Determining your goals and running style are great places to start. This will help match the ride, cushioning and support of your shoes to the different distances and difficulties you're going after. From the pavement to the podium.
Recreational runner
When running for fun – or fitness – choosing the right shoe can make or break your confidence. For example, supportive shoes with plush cushioning feel reassuring when starting up. But a more responsive shoe can help pick up the pace. So it's crucial to consider where you are in your running journey – and how far or fast you'll run.
New or returning runners
Increasing your pace, strength and confidence begins with one thing: comfort. Pick shoes with plush cushioning and soft materials like the Cloudflyer 5. Or with stabilizing features such as a heel clip and a reinforced upper. Like in the Cloudrunner collection.
Regular runners
You're running well and having fun doing it. So pick shoes that make every run a joyride. Like the effortless-feeling Cloudsurfer with smooth Cloudtec Phase® cushioning. Or the Cloudeclipse, with its thick stack for max-cushioned landings. And fresher legs.
Dedicated runners
You're no stranger to PB times or KM splits. So pick shoes that match your energy. Like the energetic Cloudmonster 2 propelled by our largest-ever CloudTec® for max-energy runs. Or the Cloudmonster Hyper variant, our lightest monster, with Helion™ HF superfoam for athlete-level rebound.
Elite running
Ace the competition. Ultra-light and responsive, these shoes match boundless energy return with medal-winning speed. Like the marathon-ready Cloudboom Strike, adding feather weight to ultra-soft Helion™ HF superfoam for absolute elite performance.
Terrain
Naturally, the terrain affects what you'll need underfoot. Looking to run off-road? Pick our precise and reliable Missiongrip™ outsole for brilliant traction. Long and slow on the road? Pick a stable shoe with minimized lateral movement like the Cloudflyer. Road-to-trail? A shoe that combines both. Like the Cloudsurfer Trail.
