How we test shoes
We buy all shoes with our own money
We wear test all shoes
We cut all shoes in half
In this process, we measure and compare more than 30 metrics on each shoe, doing our best to quantify shoe reviews. Given the amount of running, hiking, weightlifting, etc., needed for these tests, it’s imperative to work with people who are very passionate about their sport. Fortunately, we have a perfect team of shoe nerds onboard who add their personal opinions from their wear-testing, which adds nuance to our lab tests. You'll find our full methodology explained here.
How we make money and how to support us
If you click through to the retailer and you buy the shoe, we get an affiliate commission on the sale. This is how we pay ourselves. It does not make the shoe pricier for you. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Source

Who should buy The Topo Ultrafly 6 is a solid choice for runners who: Need an anatomical fit with plenty of room for natural toe splay without sacrificing a secure midfoot lockdown. Prefer a firm, stable ride over the ultra-soft feel found in many modern daily trainers. Land on the midfoot or forefoot and want a stability shoe with a moderate heel-to-toe drop. Prioritize long-lasting durability and reliable support for everyday training.

Topo Atmos 2 review
Who should buy We analyzed the Topo Atmos 2 and concluded that: It's a great upgrade over the original Atmos, especially if you wanted a softer and more comfortable ride. The roomy, anatomical toebox is an excellent match for runners with high-volume feet. Midfoot strikers with wide feet will enjoy this shoe for easy daily miles. It's also a great choice for anyone looking for a mid-drop running shoe that works well for all-day wear.
Topo Cyclone 3 review

Anyone who wants a lightweight, energetic tempo trainer with a natural ride. Those with wide feet or anyone needing extra room for natural toe splay in a fast shoe. Cyclone 2 fans who hated the oversized midsole Topo logo. Who should NOT buy The Topo Cyclone 3 isn't the right choice for runners who want maximum shock absorption.
ASICS Gel Pulse 17 review
Who should buy In our view, the ASICS Gel Pulse 17 is ideal for: Heel strikers looking for a stable daily trainer with plenty of cushioning at an affordable price. Fans of previous Gel Pulse models who want a touch more bounce without changing the familiar ride. Budget-conscious runners who appreciate a high-quality upper. Beginners seeking a protective, well-cushioned shoe that's easy to enjoy from the very first run.

Those who wanted more cushioning than previous Cascadia models offered. Anyone looking for a great-value trail shoe that performs well on easy and moderately-technical trails. Heel strikers who use stability shoes on the road and want a similarly supportive option for trail running.
Brooks Hyperion Max 4 review
Who should buy In our opinion, the Brooks Hyperion Max 4 is best for: Runners looking for a super trainer with a secure fit and a premium-quality upper. Those with narrow feet who want a reliable shoe for long-distance runs. Heavier runners seeking maximum cushioning while skipping an overly soft midsole. Who should NOT buy Brooks needs to shave some weight off this shoe.
Mizuno Neo Vista 3 review
Who should buy In our opinion, the Mizuno Neo Vista 3 is a good pick for: Runners who loved the Neo Vista 1 or 2 and want the best version yet, with a more refined upper and improved fit. Anyone who enjoys the simplicity and comfort of a sock-like knit upper in a high-cushion super trainer. Those looking for an ultra-plush ride with as much underfoot cushioning as possible for daily miles and long runs.
Brooks Ghost Max 4 review
Who should buy The Brooks Ghost Max 4 could be your next shoe if you: Want maximum cushioning but prefer a firmer, more stable ride. Need a smooth, predictable daily trainer for easy and long runs. Value a highly breathable, comfortable upper for warm-weather running and all-day wear. Seek a stable ride without the intrusive feel or added support features of a traditional stability shoe. Who should NOT buy The Ghost Max 4 retains the same midsole foam, so energy return remains limited.
