Best running shoes for women in 2024, tried and tested for support and comfort
The beauty of running is that almost anyone can do it.
Running requires no expertise, no prior fitness levels and no expensive gym memberships. All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other.
You can start at any point, simply set yourself a goal - and go. Start with five minutes around the block and build it up gradually - you’ll be running a 5k in no time.
The most accessible sport on the market, the only equipment you really need is a decent set of kicks. The right shoes protect your joints and support your feet as you pound the pavement or a treadmill.
Paired with an old concert tee and your comfiest leggings, this is all that is required as you embark on smashing your fitness goals. You may find yourself falling in love with the exercise and investing in waterproof jackets, winter running lights, leggings with pockets and all the trimmings but to keep it simple, a fresh pair of trainers will suffice. But which to buy?
