A Shopping Director's Guide to "New Year, New Me" Fitness Gifts

Saucony Ride 19 ($145)

Whether you're gifting or self-gifting, I couldn't recommend Saucony enough as an entryway brand for runners. The shoes are particularly lightweight, providing that spring in your step that works just as well on HIIT runs as it does when you're racking up the miles. This new model that the brand just released has a new and improved cushion with increased energy return and mesh that stretches with your foot. You can shop the shoe in regular or wide and choose from so many different colorways. If you'd like to see more in this department, check out our guide to the best running shoes.
