Running Shoes

ALL SHOES ARE NOT MADE EQUALLY!

Choosing the right running shoe starts with matching the shoe to your terrain and stride. Road running shoes are engineered for pavement—lightweight, responsive, and built for forward motion with minimal drag. Trail shoes prioritize grip, durability, and stability to handle uneven surfaces, loose dirt, and quick elevation shifts. For runners moving between the two, road-to-trail shoes offer a versatile blend: cushioned midsoles, durable outsoles, and enough traction to keep you steady on mixed terrain. Fit and comfort are critical across all types—look for a secure heel, room in the toe box, and a midsole that matches your gait pattern.

Running Shorts

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OPTIONS?

The right running shorts come down to fit, coverage, storage, and weather-readiness. For speed and freedom of movement, 2” inseams or split shorts are ideal. Short tights offer compression and reduced chafing for longer efforts. Trail runners often prefer 5”–7” shorts with added coverage and durable fabrics that resist snags. Look for zip or drop-in pockets to carry essentials like gels, keys, or your phone—especially for longer runs or trail efforts. Weather matters too: lightweight, quick-drying fabrics are essential in heat and humidity, while cooler temps may call for shorts you can layer over tights. Liners are personal—some runners rely on the built-in support, others prefer none at all. A 5” short remains the most versatile choice for all-around use.

Running Jackets

7 QUALITIES THAT MAKE THE IDEAL JACKET

The ideal running jacket balances performance, protection, and function—especially when conditions shift mid-run. Look for these seven key features: breathability to prevent overheating, weather protection from wind and rain, visibility for low-light conditions, and packability so it stows easily when not in use. Pockets offer secure storage for small essentials, while fit and versatility ensure the jacket moves with you across different temperatures and terrain. Depending on your running style and climate, you may prioritize certain features over others—but the right jacket should keep you moving comfortably, whatever the forecast.

Running Tights

BECAUSE WARM LEGS ARE FAST LEGS

Running tights offer warmth, muscle support, and coverage—ideal for cooler temps or variable weather. Some runners wear them year-round, especially in northern climates, to keep legs and joints warm and muscles relaxed. Options range from lightweight everyday tights to technical versions with wind panels, thermal insulation, and reflective details for visibility. When choosing tights, look for minimal seams to reduce chafing, and consider storage—small pockets for gels, keys, or a phone can add convenience without bulk. New to tights? Start with a simple, unlined pair for short to mid-distance runs, then layer up as needed for colder conditions.

Running Tees and Tops

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Choosing the right running top depends on temperature, intensity, and personal preference. For warm to mild conditions, short sleeve running shirts made with lightweight, moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics help regulate body temperature and keep sweat in check. In cooler weather, long sleeve running tops offer added warmth and UV protection without sacrificing ventilation—ideal for early morning miles or shoulder-season runs. When temperatures drop further, performance baselayers become essential. Designed to wick moisture while trapping warmth, they’re a key part of any cold-weather layering system. On hot days or high-intensity efforts, running tank tops offer maximum airflow and freedom of movement, keeping you cool when it counts most.

Running Accessories

IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Running accessories can make or break your comfort on the move—yet they’re often an afterthought. The right running hat, gloves, or headband can regulate temperature, wick moisture, and improve visibility without adding bulk. Unlike everyday gear, performance accessories are designed to be lightweight, breathable, and packable—ideal for warming up or stashing mid-run when your body temperature rises. Look for quick-drying fabrics, touch-screen compatibility in gloves, and reflective details for low-light conditions. Whether you’re running in cold, heat, or transitional weather, smart accessories help you adapt without interrupting your stride.
