Best running shoes

Heavy runners tend to appreciate cushioned shoes, stack height, and midsole that is great at absorbing the impact and, yet, that is not dull! That's exactly what we focused on when doing the reviews of these shoes for heavy runners. We reviewed shoes with firm, balanced and soft cushioning. Additionally, we made sure to present the exact toebox measurements so that the toes don't get cramped or too loose!
