Enhanced Energy Experience Running Shoes

The men’s and women’s running shoes in The Enhanced Energy Experience category feel highly-protective and spring-like underfoot. This category is reserved for running shoes that feature special midsole foams and/or structures that can help to improve running economy. By special foams, we mean cushioning that is both very soft and returns industry leading levels of energy return. Nike’s ultra resilient ZoomX foam is the perfect example. These models are not all for fast-paced running. You can choose from ultra bouncy running shoes, such as the Nike ZoomX Invincible Run, Nike Pegasus Turbo and ASICS Novablast, for your slow to steady paced miles. It feels a little bit like running on trampolines, which definitely makes the miles tick by with more ease. There’s also the option of choosing a carbon fibre plated running shoe for every day runs. Nike’s carbon fibre plated Zoom Fly is engineered to move you along with less effort at slow, steady and faster paces. Make your intervals faster with models such as the adidas Adizero Boston, Nike Air Zoom Tempo Next% and Saucony Endorphin Speed. These running shoes should improve running economy and are perfectly suited to weekly interval training, tempo runs, and race simulation efforts. As they offer excellent levels of durability, and should typically last longer than their all-out race day counterparts. When it comes to racing, superfoam carbon fibre plated running shoes - such as the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly and Nike Air Zoom Alphafly - are hard to beat. The technologies in these models are designed to get you from the start of the run, to the end of it, in the fastest time possible. Some runners choose to use superfoam carbon fibre plated running shoes for training sessions. While there’s no scientific evidence to support it yet, many runners find their muscles and legs feel fresher after a hard run in this style of shoe, enabling them to absorb higher volumes of training and loading.
