There is no such thing as the best running shoe. As much as all runners want suggestions about which is the best running shoe, it's just simply not possible to name one. There is most likely a best running shoe for each individual athlete, and not a universal one shoe that is best for all athletes. The range of running shoes currently available is larger than it has ever been. At one end of the market there are the minimalist athletic shoes with very little arch support and shock absorption. On the other end of the market are the different maximalist running footwear with the very padding running footwear. The range between these two opposites has never been greater with over 100 producers of running shoes, with every manufacturer having anywhere from one model shoe 20 shoes, indicating that there are over several thousand various athletic shoes out there for the runner to pick from. That presents quite a problem for the runner looking to pick a running shoe for themselves. To further complicate things are that each of the running shoe models have diverse design attributes that will have an effect on different runners in a different way.
Different athletic shoes will achieve different effects. The minimalist athletic shoes will obstruct very minimally as to allow the foot to move naturally, whereas other shoes are built to effect motion and biomechanics. For for example, the Airia athletic shoes have a slant or tilt underneath the ball of the foot that will have significant impacts on the way the foot moves. The Hoka One One running shoes have the maximum amount of shock absorption. Athletes will have to try on a range of distinct shoes in the range and choose the shoe that best suits what they think and believe about running along with what best suits their running style or technique The recommendations from a speciality running shoe shop is useful in this regard.
