14 Products Every Marathoner Should Own, According to Pro Runner Emily Sisson

New Balance Fresh Foam X 880v14 ($140)

New Balance's 880 running shoes are a classic for a reason, as Sisson can attest to. "I started wearing them in college," she says. "They're great neutral trainers that I've relied on for over a decade. I don't look for anything fancy in my shoes, I just want something that's reliable and feels like it helps me recover." Though the 880s are her go-to for those slower recovery runs, Sisson says she sometimes picks up the pace in them, too, making them a great option for runners looking for one do-it-all shoe. For runners who like a bit more cushion, she says the New Balance 1080s are a very similar shoe with just a touch more underfoot.
