Las 7 Mejores Zapatillas De Running Para Mujer del 2024

After miles of pounding the pavement and hours of lab testing, we crowned the ASICS Novablast 5 as the top women’s running shoe. It’s a highly comfortable and supportive shoe that’s able to tackle any distance and other daily activities with ease. For all the versatility it offers, its €160 price tag is a pleasant surprise.

The Novablast 5 has an effortless aura to it that’s perfect for women on the go. Our scales reveal it’s only 9.0 oz (254g), right below the average running shoe despite its abundant cushioning. We found that it adapts to our movements easily, verified by our bend test when it emerged 32.2% more flexible than average.

The foam feels so gentle underfoot, and our durometer agrees with a rating 38.4% softer than average. We also measured the stack to be a massive 40.9/33.5 mm, ensuring our feet stayed protected against ground impact.

Amazingly, we never lost balance even if the shoe is both soft and tall. For enhanced stability, it offers a wide base similar to more supportive shoes. Our caliper confirms it’s a vast 122.3/97.6 mm vs. the 114.0/90.7 mm average forefoot and heel.

While already bouncy, we recommend more competitive ladies to find a more explosive shoe for record-breaking paces.

The Nike Pegasus 41 showed steady and reliable performance in our lab tests and runs, making it the top women’s choice for daily training. It brings a versatile and natural running experience that feels effortless to sustain, with an upper that’s suitable all year round.

The midsole is both grounded and comfortable—the former due to the low 22.2 mm forefoot and the latter due to the plush 15.8 HA ReactX foam. In addition, Pegasus 41 has two Air Zoom units which enhance energy return and remain the same over time. Altogether, the ride feels highly responsive and electric!

The Peg also feels agile since the midsole is easy to maneuver. Our bend test reveals it’s 32.9% more flexible than average, making it suitable for walking, gym workouts, and other errands. Its versatility is also highlighted through its upper, which scored a 4/5 in our breathability test. This rating makes it comfortable enough for all seasons.

What may be a dealbreaker to some women is its steep 11.4 mm drop that may strain the hips and knees. We recommend forefoot strikers to find shoes with a lower drop.

The PUMA Deviate Nitro 3 electrified our speed training with its streamlined build, energetic midsole, and unmatched traction. Slicing the best women’s running shoes into half in our lab confirmed it’s the top tempo shoe in this category. 

Testing the shoe’s layers confirmed its super trainer status for ladies. We discovered a dual-density stack in the lab with a slightly curved carbon plate nestled in between. The base cushion is a plush 18.0 HA Nitro foam that feels bouncy. The real star is the top 19.0 HA Nitro Elite layer, which offers exceptional responsiveness, filling our training with excitement.

Wearing the Deviate Nitro 3 made us feel highly swift and agile. Our caliper confirms what we felt: this trainer has a sleek build for lighter strides. The midsole measures 109.3/82.7 mm, much slimmer than the 114.0/90.7 mm average.

Underfoot, the PUMAGRIP ATR outsole ensures we won’t miss our runs during rainy days. The rubber measures a soft 72.0 HC and delivers undeniable grip during testing. However, its result in our Dremel test is concerning, making us doubt its durability. We cannot recommend this trainer to women who wear out their shoes quickly.

After rigorous lab tests and runs, we found the Nike Vaporfly 3 as the strongest race contender for fierce lady runners. Its solid combination of swiftness, lightness, and comfort took us to the finish line at a record-breaking pace. Its unmatched energy return took our breath away.

The Vaporfly 3 delivers otherworldly speed through its stiff and uniquely spoon-shaped carbon FlyPlate, which enables faster and smoother turnover. We’re astonished by how it doesn’t feel too harsh on foot, thanks to the plush and energetic ZoomX foam over the plate that relieves muscle strain and delivers powerful energy return. It feels easy to keep running since each landing is met with a plush 16.8 HA midsole.

Keeping its name close to heart, Vaporfly 3 made us fly so effortlessly since it never burdened us with its weight. Our scales reveal a mere 6.7 oz (190g), one of the lightest we’ve seen in the lab despite its cushioned midsole.

Amplifying its airiness is the ultra-breathable upper which scored a perfect 5/5 in our smoke test. This boosted our comfort and confidence since we didn’t have to worry about blisters no matter how long or how hot our run was. However, its focus on ventilation made it more susceptible to damage, earning a 1/5 toebox durability score. Women who prioritize long-lasting toeboxes should check alternatives.

Our runs with the ASICS Gel Kayano 31 verify it stays true to its core, delivering reliable support while ensuring a luxurious feel. It’s the type of shoe we can wear to run mindlessly and endlessly, with the 4D Guidance System reassuring our every stride. Even our lab confirms it’s the best stability shoe for women.

ASICS went all out in incorporating its most innovative stability elements into this shoe while maintaining a natural feel. It features midsole sidewalls, a higher arch, an expansive base, and the 4D Guidance System. Our caliper confirms it’s a wide 122.1/97.6 mm, which offsets any potential imbalances during our runs.

Comfort still dominates the Gel Kayano 31 experience with its plush 15.6 HA foam and generous 39.3/27.8 mm stack. Additionally, its PureGEL in the heel enhances even gentler landings for rear strikers. 

What enhances an effortless experience is its maneuverable midsole, bending freely with our feet. Our 90-degree test verifies its flexibility, emerging 12.9% more malleable than average.

The Gel Kayano 31’s performance is a true testament that we can’t have it all. While comfort and support dominate our runs, it lacks excitement and energy return. Women seeking a responsive ride are better off elsewhere.

We wear-tested and sliced the best women’s running shoes in the lab and found the ASICS Gel Nimbus 26 to have top-tier plush cushioning. It delivers much-needed TLC for any distance and shines best on days we need to recover. Plus, the outsole can last countless miles!

Having the Gel Nimbus 26 underfoot completely erases ground feel since there’s so much foam in between our feet and the ground. To be more accurate, our caliper measurements show a 40.4/32.0 mm stack—the forefoot being much higher than many other shoes’ heels.

Its luxurious and gentle touch can be attributed to the full-length FF Blast+ ECO foam with a softness rating of 18.5 HA, 11.5% below average. Every landing is pure bliss, notably in the heel where the PureGEL is positioned, which is meant to further soften the impact. We felt like we could keep running forever in this pair!

Even the outsole can support endless miles. Our Dremel tool only managed to dent the rubber by 0.6 mm, which is highly impressive given the 1.0 mm lab average. This result erased any doubts of premature wear.

Unfortunately, the Gel Nimbus 26 doesn’t deliver the natural ride that some women are seeking. We rated it a high torsional rigidity of 5/5, which feels similar to carbon-plated shoes, albeit without the same energy return.

Thorough analysis in the lab and outdoors led us to the ultimate trail running shoe for ladies: the Nike Zegama 2. It features the highly trusted Vibram Megagrip outsole and a well-balanced upper that we found protective yet unrestrictive. Long hours on foot didn’t feel like a burden thanks to the ZoomX midsole’s gentle touch and spirited ride.

Zegama 2 delivers the grip and shield women need to tackle various terrains fearlessly. Our caliper shows the Traction Lugs are 4.0 mm deep, which feels perfectly balanced and effectively secure underfoot. The outsole delivers traction while excelling in durability, as verified by its solid performance in our abrasion test.

Even from the top, the upper hits the sweet spot between breathability and durability, scoring an impressive 4/5 in both tests. We didn’t have to worry about ripping the shoe as we passed through protruding plants and our feet remained fresh throughout long hours on the trail.

The ZoomX midsole delivers responsiveness for a more adventurous ride, further enhanced by the rocker creating smooth transitions. With every stride, we land on its cloudlike cushioning that’s 35.8% softer than average.

Unfortunately, Zegama 2 isn’t the most agile option. Girls who prefer lightweight shoes will find its 10.7 oz (302g) weight too heavy.
