Adidas Ultraboost 21 Running Shoes ($101)

These shoes feel like walking on a cloud, they're so cushiony. Even still, they'll help you push faster and farther. The sock-like fit hugs your feet, which reviewers appreciate. "The upper part of the sneaker is thick and is designed to be more like a sock, which I like. It stretches to form around your foot," one reviewer describes.

APL Techloom Tracer Sneakers ($230, originally $250)

These sneakers were made for running and training. For athletes who like to do it all, having one sneaker for multiple activities is ideal and well worth the cost. They're sleek but comfortable, which also makes them great for pairing with athleisure outfits. "The comfort level is a ten out of ten while still being cute and stylish!" one reviewer writes.

APL Techloom Phantom Sneakers ($165, originally $185)

These sneakers are beloved for a reason. They're sleek, comfortable, and supportive. Our former editor took them on a five-mile run and was impressed by their performance. "It was a nice, neutral ride — more stability and cushion than a Nike Free, but much closer to a barefoot run than a stability shoe like Brooks Adrenaline; a supportive sweet spot, really," she writes. Check out more details of her experience in this APL Techloom Phantom Sneakers review.

Adidas Cloudfoam Pure Running Shoes ($21, originally $70)

Get moving in these running shoes. We love how incredibly foamy and comfortable they are. They have more than 80,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 stars. "This is my second pair of these shoes. They are soooo comfortable, I just had to buy them again after the first pair wore out," one reviewer writes. Another reviewer notes that while the mesh is comfortable, they aren't well-suited for the rain.

New Balance Women's Fresh Foam Roav V1 Running Shoe ($75, originally $130)

Joomra Women's Minimalist Trail Running Barefoot Shoes ($43, originally $60)

This pair is also the No. 1 bestseller in the women's climbing shoes category. The shoes have rubber outsoles that offer plenty of traction and respond well to unpredictable terrain. They also have removable insoles to better support foot arches. The minimalist form mimics the feel of walking barefoot, only wrapped in the additional comfort and protection from the shoe's shell.

Brooks Women's Ghost 14 Neutral Running Shoes ($90, originally $140)

This shoe has a layer of shock absorbers, BioMoGo DNA and DNA LOFT cushioning that provide plenty of soft support without losing grip or responsiveness. They are ideal for outdoor terrain but can just as seamlessly accommodate a gym workout.
