Overall review lists

Best guides

We bought all of these shoes with our own money and treated them as any other shoe: by doing the proper test runs and lab tests. These reviews of expensive running shoes stand proudly against the saying that the more expensive shoes are always better. They definitely come with a set of pros and cons, and we transparently showcase them all.
