Men’s Road Running Shoes

If you run on tarmac and concrete regularly, then a pair of men’s road running shoes is essential equipment. Road running shoes for men contain several features that help you perform at your best, while also reducing your risk of injury or discomfort. 

Why wear men’s road running shoes?

Although it’s possible to run in generic exercise shoes, wearing a pair of specifically designed road running shoes for men is much more suitable, especially if you plan to run regularly. Men’s running shoes for road provide:

• Exceptional durability: Tarmac and concrete are extremely hard surfaces to run on, and generate a lot of friction. Road running shoes are made with highly durable outsoles that can take the strain. 
• Cushioning in the right places: The best men’s road running shoes focus on placing most cushioning in the heel area. Remember that force equivalent to three or four times the weight of your body comes down through your feet when you run. Choosing shoes with lots of cushioning in the heel reduces this impact.
• Lightweight: Men’s road running shoes are very lightweight, allowing you to accelerate when you need to. 
• Fit for men’s bodies: Road running shoes for men tend to have a wider fit than women’s running shoes. They also tend to have a little more cushioning and weight, since men’s bodies tend to be heavier too. 
• Breathability: Men’s road running shoes should be breathable, with mesh uppers that allow warm air and water vapour to exit the shoe. That prevents your feet overheating and getting overly sweaty. 
• Tread: The tread on men’s road running shoes follows a single pattern, since your feet mainly move in one direction. 
• Tailored to your needs: The best men’s road running shoes are tailored to your running style and the kinds of distances you cover. ASICS’ men’s road running shoes are suited to long- and middle-distance running, as well as shorter races and sprints, with specific features for different kinds of workout. 
• Pronation: You should select your men’s road running shoes based on whether you are a supinator, a neutral runner or an overpronator.
