There is no doubt that the best carbon plate running shoes have revolutionized the sport of running. Shoes like the Nike Vaporfly have changed racing forever, and along with boosting performances they have sent the price of the best running shoes rocketing, with most super-shoes costing north of $200/£200.
Given the popularity of super-shoes for race day, it was perhaps inevitable that brands would try to sprinkle that stardust on shoes designed for training, which people use (and buy) a lot more often. And so the super-trainer was born. This category contains some of my favorite running shoes available, although the downside is that super-trainers tend to cost a lot more than traditional daily trainers.
