To discover which are the 3 best rated running shoes you need to make sure the footwear meets some of the following criteria. Should have some form of stability which helps prevent an inward rolling of the foot while running. Motion-control shoes are designed for those with low arches or flat feet. Or neutral-cushioning shoes for runners with high arches to absorb enough impact. Whatever your needs here are a few super cool running sports shoes for you to consider when you hit the jogging trails.

  1. Nike Air Zoom Vomero +5. This shoe has a breathable open-mesh with no-sew overlays through the front of the foot that enhances support and reduces irritation caused by chafing. Also has durable blown rubber sole and firmer cushioning with waffle pattern for traction. Its special feature is that you can hook up your smart phone or MP3 player and place it under the sock liner of the left shoe. A sensor then measures your pace, distance, time elapsed as well as how many calories you’ve burned during your run. The information transmitted wirelessly to the receiver for real-time feedback.
  2. Asics Gel-Kayan 15.  One of the few sports shoes with an off-center lacing pattern, which follows the actual topline of your foot for a super comfortable snug fit and solid arch wrap. This running shoe’s heel is filled with more gel than ever before which provides a nice cushion from pavement to sole.
  3. Inov-8 Roclite 295. Considered the fastest running shoe in 2009, this shoe can work on almost any type of environment from pavement to trails. The shoe finds a balance between lightweight performance yet very rugged and durable. It has enough wiggle room for your toes to make running comfortable, blister free without sacrificing speed or agility.
