But lets back up a sec.
One week later, I could barely walk without pain.
Turns out that immediately jumping into running with a pair ofill-fitting sneakershad (ahem) screwed my feet up.
Ahead, I use my 3+ years of on-the-ground research to round-up the best Brooks running shoes for women.
…
The Brooks Glycerin 20 sneakers arent just for us dog lovers with inflamed footies.
There are 18 different color options available, that range from subtle to snazzy.
Ringing up at just $100, Brooks Revel 6 are a fraction of the cost of competitor options.
The lower price tag, however, doesnt signal that this running shoe skimps on comfortit doesnt.
Sporting a breathable knit upper and silica soles, these runners keep your feet cool while hugging them.
Personally, I prefer a cushier option for myhot girl walksand a lighter-weight option for long runs.
But these have become my go-to for5Kand 10K training days.
I also like this option for CrossFit workouts that include thecurved treadmill, but no weight lifting.
I wear these when Im using an assault runner, too.
…
For the uninitiated, assault runnersmanual, non-motorized treadmillsuse your own bodyweight and momentum to power the belt.
A TrailTrack rubber outsole is designed to grip gravel and clasp cliffs in dry or wet conditions.
As wanna-be rom com lead as it may sound, I find precipitation energetically cleansing.
So, Im a sucker for a rainy day hike.
Despite being clumsier than a clown, I didnt slip even once while laced up in these beauts.
As such, the $170 price tag feels reasonable to me.
As a person who likes feeling extra secure in my sneakers, I appreciated the tighter fit.
But, if you have a history ofbunionsor prefer a wider toe box for whatever reason, keep scrolling.
Some reviewers noted that they liked wearing the Ghost 15 during fitness classes and regular gym work, too.
All in all, I recommend the Ghost 15 for everyday runners.
Yknow, the folks logging mad miles in preparation of a marathon or ultra.
(That said,one Well & Good writerlikes them for Orangetheory classes, too).
Yep, IMHO they are that good-looking.
Its more than just a pretty shoe, thoughthis pair can perform under pressure.
The DNA AMP v2 foam that makes up this shoes midsole is light-light-light.
With each stride, this technology will allow you to feel like youre literally springing off the pavement.
Its almost like youre, levitating…
The upper of the Levitate 6 is stretchy, which allows your foot to move unencumbered when you run.
It also allows you to cinch the laces for an even tighter fit, should you need it.
As for how these held up in the weight room and gym?
I grade them a B.
However, I personally prefer to wear this pair while running errands than while running.
Honestly, because they are sexy and I am nothing if not an athleisure girlie.
The Stealthfit 6 sports an integrated tongue and stretchy sock-like upper make for a sleek, streamlined aesthetic.
Plus, the outsole features an arrow-point pattern that allows your foot to strike heel-to-toe even more quickly.
Its all thanks to the midsole which is configured with nitrogen-infused, DNA FLASH cushioning.
For the non-engineers, that means the shoe is as springy as it is lightweight.
I ran in the Brooks Hyperion Max multiple times, both on the streets and on a manual treadmill.
These shoes were even better on the treadmill, though.
Since getting them, Ive had the pleasure (truly, a pleasure!)
of wearing these during fiveinterval runningworkouts on the manual treadmill.
Thats because your strides, rather than the machine, control the speed of the tread.
The uniquely curved heel of the Hyperion Max helps your foot roll forward into your toes with each strike.
Youre able to go faster without working as hard.
I wore these during one run-walk training piece and the first 10 minutes were a little unbalanced-feeling.
This could be just a me problem thoughIm not very coordinated, like I mentioned before.
Ringing up at just $110, these are one of the most affordable Brooks running shoes.
The shoe itself manages to be both padded, and light.
Given that calluses are more likely to form when your socks are wet, this feature shouldnt be overlooked.
For the sake of this article, I wore these puppies to twoCrossFitclasses.
