As a keen runner and the digital health editor of woman&home, it's perhaps no surprise that I have quite a few pairs of running trainers in my wardrobe. Garishly bright or sleek in black or white, designed for comfort and speed, I've got hundreds of miles between them all. So, when I heard about the Veja Condor 3 running trainers, I was hopeful - if not a little bit sceptical - about their potential as an everyday alternative.
On opening the box, what immediately appealed to me was the design - these aren't a million miles away from the French brand's regular fashion trainers, as worn by the likes of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. If it wasn't for the box packaging and thick foam cushioning on the heel, I might have thought I'd ordered the wrong pair. While substance over style is always important when choosing a pair of the best running shoes, it certainly helps to feel like you look good.
