Instead, reach for one of these new trail running shoes, which performed outstanding across a variety of trail conditions. We tested them everywhere from the soft and muddy canal paths just outside our Pennsylvania headquarters to twisty singletrack courses.

For this summer’s Shoe Awards, our test team helps you get a full understanding of the hottest trainers, racers, and trail shoes. We also turned to some of our wear-testers who fell in love with their pairs to get additional insights. And we included “more options” for some shoes just in case you’re on the fence about trying that pair. After logging hundreds of miles in 100-plus models, we’re confident we can help you on your quest to find your perfect match.

On a cloudless 29ºc day in March that had onlookers reaching for sunscreen and looking for shade, Faith Kipyegon flopped to the ground at the end of a long-jump runway inside Kipchoge Keino Stadium in Eldoret, Kenya. The three-time Olympic gold medal winner in the 1,500 metres had just wrapped up a session of four 600-metre and four 300-metre repeats, with a 200-metre recovery jog between each.

Most interesting to us shoe nerds is that each of those runners had on a different pair of road racing shoes. It seems that true parity has finally arrived.

Here are the shoes that stepped atop the podium at the 2025 Boston Marathon.

This year’s Boston Marathon featured perfect weather, blistering fast times, and a wide range of super shoes. Women’s winner Sharon Lokedi destroyed the course record, while the men’s champ John Korir fell at the start of the race but got up to run the second-fastest time ever on the course. And the top Americans, Conner Mantz and Jess McClain, crushed their personal records—Mantz just missed the podium and his 2:05:08 is the second-fastest marathon ever by a U.S. runner.

One non-negotiable component of any marathon training block for me is recovery sessions in Normatec boots. I slip on the inflatable leg sleeves and kick back for 45 minutes to an hour in the evening after every long run and most workouts. I swear that the massage-like device speeds recovery from the hard miles on quad-crushing pavement. Now, Hyperice is rolling out a smaller, more targeted massage device that you might find just as indispensable as I have.
