Road Running Shoes Frequently Asked Questions

What are road running shoes for?

Road running shoes are made for medium- to long-distance running on paved road surfaces. Road runner shoes are ideal if you're doing most of your running on paved trails, sidewalks, concrete or asphalt surfaces. If you're running off-road, on trails, dirt, gravel or in forested areas, you should get trail running shoes instead of road shoes for proper support and protection. Learn about how to choose running shoes on our blog.

What's the difference between road racing and road running shoes?

Road running shoes are made to handle your daily training and miles on paved surfaces. Road runner shoes are often cushioned for durable support of the whole foot. Road racing shoes, or marathon shoes, are designed to provide explosive support and minimal resistance on race day. Racing shoes are made of lighter-weight materials that are great for racing but aren't built to support you during the longer training season.

Which shoe is best for road running?

Look for a road running shoe built with cushioning and support for the full stride across the miles. Popular runners from adidas include the Supernova Rise, adizero adios and Runfalcon road running shoes. adidas running shoes provide technology support like ENERGYRODS for an efficient stride and midsole cushioning in the form of Lightstrike Pro (in the adios) or Dreamstrike+ (in the Supernova) to keep you moving long into the training season.
