For Trail Running
Take on the trails in comfort with an all-terrain outsole tread and Fresh Foam cushioning. New Balance Fresh Foam Hierro, $140
For Cold-Weather Running
Adidas Boost technology in the midsole means these shoes are cushioned and responsive – you may even feel an extra bounce in your step. Plus, the upper has climaheat™ insulation to keep feet warm, and the ATR outsole is like “winter tires for your feet.” Adidas Climachill Rocket Boost Shoes, $150
For Long Runs
This neutral running shoe has super-soft cushioning to support feet throughout your long runs. Customized pressure zones in the sole disperse impact, while the rounded heel keeps your body in proper alignment. Brooks Glycerin 13 Womens, $180 at Running Room
For the Gym
Strategically placed rubber pods on the sole offer traction and stability so you don’t slip on the gym floor, while the mesh upper has adjustable zonal support for plyometric movements like jump lunges and skater slides. Nike Free Cross Compete Women’s Training Shoes, $115 at Sport Chek
