If you’ve bought a new pair of running shoes in the last 10 years, there’s a decent chance that they came with a big promise: all that bouncy EVA foam, the rocker design and perhaps even a carbon plate will “propel” you forwards, making it easier than ever for you to bound down the trail or along the pavement.
I get to test a lot of different running shoes in my job at Advnture, and I’ve worn loads that fit this bill, from the ultralight North Face Summit Vectiv Sky trail running shoes built for technical terrain to my reliable Saucony Kinvara Pros which have allowed me to run on pavement pain-free after knee surgery.
