What do you think is the best cushioned shoe for training daily on concrete?

We are human and humans adapt, your feet and body will adapt to the pavement over time. I got chronic shin splints then gradually switched to pavement full time and have been fine. And I run in the Kinvara which is a "minimal" shoe. You will learn to strike the ground softer and quicker (or can focus on that) to compensate for the harder surface. Or also go for a more well cushioned shoe as well! Hurricane, Adrenaline, Kayano / 3000 series, Structure all good shoes. Just remember, mo money = mo cushion.

See this thread sums up why shoe review sites are garbage - One person thinks the Boost/Everun foam is amazing, the next thinks that it's hard as a brick. Cushioning, fit, durability, support - these are all subjective items that anecdotal reviews can attempt to quantify but it's only a quantification of that reviewer's experience and has little bearing on how a different individual might react.

You want soft? Altra Escalante

I wear the Nike Zoom Fly, but if i was on a date with ....

then i would say i run in the 880.

Nike Vomero 12! I run everything on trails/grass, but I would definitely use these given your circumstances. But really, you should go to a specialty running shop and find your pair.

First of all, nothing should be hurting while you run. If there is pain, don't run. Spend most of your time working on flexibility and strength. For example, tight/weak quads are a major indicator for patella femoral pain.

Another thing, I highly doubt there are NO soft surfaces in your area. I live in Broward County Florida, a county that is 99% developed. So what do I do? I go to google maps and look for dirt roads, and I have found a few by the everglades. Maps can also help you find parks you never would have thought existed. You have to be curious and motivated. I also run frequently on golf courses (grass part) and loop around local soccer fields.

Best of luck!

Nike Structure or Valarmo

I think they did in the 90s

hoka ONE ONE BONDI.

I'm 6'4" 190 and can pound the pavement all day in these. Surprisingly light weight for such a beefy shoe too.

Kinvara is "minimal"? lol

It's a like a moon boot.

Great Advice .

While living in Strasbourg, France, I didn't really have access to trails but the Saucony Kinvaras and the Adidas Supernova made running in the city bearable. The Supernovas are essentially foot pillows, while the Kinvaras are a bit firmer but still well cushioned and responsive.

Adidas Super Nova. I only wear them running on the crete. Used to get tibial stress fractures with too much crete running until the Super Nova turned ever road into a soft trail.

Super Novas are no longer. Not sure what Adidas is going to replace them with. I ran in the SuperNova Glide boost 7 and 8 and they are really nice. Great cushioning but still very reactive and good transition while running. I still have a couple pairs left as I stocked up on them. Sad they stopped making them :(

Etonic Trans Am. Back to the future.

Shoes I like for getting in the miles runs

Nike Peg

Hoka Clifton

Brooks Ghost

Saucony Ride or Guide

Brooks Ravena

New Balance 890

Usually buy whatever is on sale. I can run in in neutral or moderate stability shoes.

Your exercise is just equal to the shoes on your feet. That is particularly evident with regards to broadly educating, which requires a wide range of development: front to back, side to side, all over, and so on. In case you will go. the wonderful thoughts visit this site sheispicky(dot)com.

Salomon Sonic RA. Replaced Pegasus and Boost with these specifically for the cushioning and they are tremendous.

Loving the sketchers go run ultra 3!

I'd suggest the addidas ultra boost.
