Playing sports is first and foremost a question of motivation that often turns into a true philosophy of life. But when you want to make the most of the benefits of this physical activity, running also becomes a question of equipment. And if the sportswear can be trendy and affordable , side shoes, it is the well-being that prevails! Whether you run in the gym, on the asphalt or in the forest, you have to put on the right pair. We help you choose your sneakers!

What running shoes for the road?

If we like to run on asphalt, we put rather on a thick sole, foam and gel, very damping, to minimize impacts when running on flat, hard and uniform. Our choice ? Gel Cumulus 19 of Asics (140 €).

And on forest road?

A notched sole is preferred to adhere sufficiently to the soft, unstable earthy soil found in the undergrowth. We favor a firm cushioning able to maintain the ankle in case of slippage ... and to protect us from sprains. Our choice ? The Peregrine 7, Saucony, (135 € on saucony.fr/find-a-store/)

What sneakers to run on mats?

Are you a fan of the gym or happy home rug? We choose a smooth, thin and lightweight sole because the carpet cushioning system already helps to preserve the joints. Our choice ? The Energy Energy 500 from Domyos (€ 29.90).
