- Terrain
Road

Trail

Good to know
As long as you stick to the road or path, and if you want just one running shoe, buy a road running shoe.
- Pace
If you are new to running, go with daily running shoes. They are best suited for moderate paces and are cushioned enough for any distance.
Speed training shoes are lighter and better for shorter distances and faster paces. Competiton running shoes help you reach peak performance on a race day.
