Choose what feels right for you; we have some fresh finds specifically picked for the Fall season, the current styles (and colors!), and weatherproof updates — all from trusted brands you love, starting under $75.

Nike LunarGlide 8 SP

The Nike LunarGlide got a stylish and functional new makeover this year, and runners are loving it. The plush foam on the bottom still provides stability, while giving an even softer, cushier ride. Plus, these deep muted tones for Fall have us making all the heart eyes.

Brooks Glycerin 14

A classic favorite with a new upgrade for the season: the Brooks Glycerin 14 is a runner's favorite for a neutral ride. The metallic, somewhat reflective detailing is a nice touch for low-light runs.

New Balance Women's Vazee Pace v2

These subtle, muted colors are the perfect transition from Summer brights, especially for those of you who still need a bit of color in the cooler months. They're breathable, lightweight, and just cushioned enough to keep you comfortable but fast.

Asics 33-MM 2

We took these for a test spin on the woodsy trails in San Francisco, and they were crazy comfortable. These provide maximum cushioning with a platform sole, but they don't feel bulky or weighted down.

Brooks Adrenaline ASR 13 Water Repellent

Water resistant, stable, comfortable, and great for both concrete and dirt: these held up during our run through the San Francisco Half-Marathon across the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as our jaunts through hilly trails in Golden Gate Park. They're absolutely ideal for Fall runs.

HOKA ONE ONE Bondi 4

If maximalist shoes are your jam, you're likely already familiar with the entire line at Hoka One One. The seemingly bulky shoe is astonishingly light (read: you don't feel like you're wearing skis), but the ride is impossibly cushiony and smooth. Take these for a spin through your neighborhood, as they're great for running on the pavement.

Saucony Omni 15

Saucony Omni 15

This subtle style from Saucony are ideal if you're a pronator (in fact, these are specifically designed for moderate to severe pronation). Although it's a strong stability shoe, you'll still get the plush, cushioned feeling.

Adidas Energy Cloud

Adidas Energy Cloud

These running shoes are so trendy, you could wear them well beyond your run. If you prefer that responsive, close-to-the-ground feel, check out the Energy Cloud. They're light, flexible, breathable, and still have a plush, soft feeling while you run.

Nike LunarEpic Low Flyknit

The crown jewel in Nike's Fall lineup has to be the LunarEpic. A breathable and soft Flyknit upper combines with the latest Lunar sole to combine the best of the stability and cushion world. You might never take these off once you put them on — just speaking from experience.

Asics DynaFlyte

Asics DynaFlyte

The new FlyteFoam from Asics creates a "lightweight ride, continuous cushioning, and soft landing." Those all sound ideal, right? These soft, light shoes are Asics's most innovative shoes to date. If you've been an Asics fan, it's time to upgrade to these, and if you've been meaning to try, now's your time.
