The 10 Best Amazon Running Shoes, According to Customer Reviews

The Brooks Adrenaline GTS has been beloved by runners for over 20 years. And there is a reason for that staying power; these are some of the best stability running shoes on the market. The latest model features the brand’s GuideRail technology and work to keep extra movement in check by keeping you closer to your natural stride even when you get tired. They provide next level support (and relief) for your hips, knees and, especially, feet — as endorsed by the American Podiatric Medical Association.

What reviewers say: “As someone who struggles with the right support of shoe, I have tried multiple running shoes and this is the one. Comfortable and supportive, I haven’t had knee pain since I’ve been running with these. Absolutely love them, especially with having a bunion and the support needed to relieve pressure from that. They’re versatile too because they look nice wearing out and about to run errands.”

Asics Gel-Venture 8 sneakers are Amazon’s best trail running shoes, thanks to their shock-absorbing heel that allows you to run with confidence and keep your natural stride stable. The hybrid walking-hiking-trail running shoe is super versatile and breathable, so no weather forecast can stop your next adventure.

What reviewers say: “I have wide feet, so it’s more difficult than usual for me to find shoes that are comfortable from heel to toes. These fit well right out of the box, have held up well for months, and do not cause any fatigue in the toe box no matter how long I wear them or how much exercise I’m undergoing. I had limited experience with Asics in the past but I can say after this purchase I will likely look to this brand first when I buy my next shoes. Great experience, overall!”

Ultraboost Light sneakers are some of the best Adidas shoes you can shop right now. These performance sneakers feature a lightweight version of adidas’ famous Boost technology (30 percent lighter than traditional Boost midsoles) to maximize the plush feeling without weighing you down. The design also includes Linear Energy Push on the sole, which has been reworked to optimize responsiveness. For more info on the Ultraboost Light running shoes, read our editor-tested review.

What reviewers say: “I love Adidas to start with. These are fabulous. I read about the difference in the Ultraboost versions and I have to say that these are everything they say they are. They fit snug around your foot but the toe room is good. If you are purchasing to run stay true to sizing, but for standing go up 1/2. I love mine.”

In recent years, Saucony has substantially upped the cushioning on the Guide 15 sneakers, making it one of their most responsive models yet. The Hollow Tech media support system provides lightweight energy return that guides your foot forward — hence this model’s name. Couple that with the excellent Pwrrun cushioned midsole and you have an excellent shoe for daily jogs and walks.

What reviewers say: “I have slightly narrow feet with some supination, based on the tread pattern of my old, neutral running shoes. These are the best shoes I’ve ever had in terms of comfort and I’m now on my second pair. Nice and cushiony. I live in a slightly hilly neighborhood and even jogging downhill I don’t feel pain or shock, unlike some of my other shoes. When these wear out, I’ll get another pair.”

The New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 V12 sneaker is, hands down, the best cushioned running sneaker in New Balance’s suite of running shoes. The full-length Fresh Foam X midsole feels soft without being too mushy, which is ideal for comfort and springy energy return. The engineered knit upper is soft, stretchy and super comfortable, while accommodating to a wide array of foot shapes.

What reviewers say: “I have pretty bad plantar fasciitis and have been on the hunt for shoes that will work for me and be supportive and comfortable. These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. Period. My feet feel amazing even after wearing them all day working around the house or going to the gym. I ordered another pair in a different color just so I have another option because I will only wear these from now on for working out and running. The heel and the pad of your foot feel like you’re walking on a cushy soft pillow. I normally wear 9.5 and I got the 10 based on the recommendation and the fit was perfect.”

What reviewers say: “The Altra Escalente shoes are one of the best ones I have found on the market. I typically use them for trail running or road running. They offer the perfect blend of support and flexibility and are specially good for those with wider feet!”

The Adidas Cloudfoam Pure 2.0 shoe has over 63,000 five-star reviews on Amazon for its lightweight feel, breathable upper, and next-level cushioning. The shoe is made with Primegreen, a high-performance recycled material, and features memory foam sockliners to ensure all-day comfort from the first wear. They’re a must-have for those looking for multi-functional running shoes — these running shoes just so happen to be some of the best walking shoes for women and men.

What reviewers say: “These running shoes have proven to be incredibly comfortable and supportive during my workouts. The cushioning in the midsole provides ample shock absorption, reducing the impact on my joints and minimizing any discomfort during longer runs. I particularly appreciate the arch support, as it helps maintain proper foot alignment and reduces the risk of injuries. Breathability is another area where these shoes shine, which is especially important for me, as I often run in warm weather conditions. Whether I’m running on wet sidewalks or uneven trails, I feel confident in the shoes’ traction to keep me stable and prevent slips. After several months of regular use, they show minimal signs of wear and tear, which is impressive given the miles they’ve accompanied me.”

Mizuno’s Wave Rider sneakers are one of the most comfortable sneakers for stability due to its dual-compound midsole. They’re especially supportive for foot types that typically need supination insoles, with extra shock absorption technology and responsive cushioning for a lightweight ride.

What reviewers say: “I studied a number of running trainers before deciding on these and I’m really pleased with my choice. I’m usually a size 7 in shoes so I got 7.5 and it’s perfect fit with good running socks. This shoe supports my heal and foot but has spring, so has improved my running distance. I can comfortably run a 10K with no problems and the Wave Riders have reduced pain in my knees from road running in winter. The shoes are stylish, breathable, grips wet surfaces, and is not noisy on impact. Love them!”
