The best 2020 running shoes
It has been a year in which running shoes have played a leading role in the world of sports. Above all, after the marathon runner Eliud Kipchogue managed to lose two hours in a marathon, a mark in which he helped his flying shoes or also Nike's Vaporfly technology with which many runners have achieved great marks.
And this coming year will be no less, because the brands are aiming hard with new models that will surely dominate the competitions and training sessions in the coming months. From the long-awaited Adidas Ultraboost 20, through the Saucony Triump 17 or the Mizuno Wave Skyride, these are some of the shoes that will be successful among runners this 2020.
But the months go by and the brands, even though it is a rather atypical year due to the lack of races, continue to present their novelties, such as Mizuno and its two renewed models with its new foam; or Hoka One One with shoes for both competition and daily training.
Mizuno Wave Inspire 16
Mizuno regulars would recognize the Inspire blindfolded just by stepping in. From its high drop and narrow forefoot to its durable sole and firm cushioning, the 16 has all the hallmarks of the Japanese brand's most stable shoe. Like its predecessors, the Inspire 16 features an impact-absorbing U4ic ('euphoric') foam top layer and a softer, lighter U4icX bottom layer. In the middle, Mizuno has introduced a corrugated Pebax plate as a padding for greater stability and flexibility.
Similar to how ocean waves form and break, the ripples in the plate help some of that energy slide from heel to toe with each step. The feel is much softer and less jarring than if you were to land on a piece of EVA. The latest Inspire are more comfortable thanks to a new mesh that is less bulky, more breathable and has better support. In addition, Mizuno has moved the upper eyelets so that the laces can be adjusted better and rubbing is avoided.

Adidas Adizero Boston 8
If you look back at the collection of Adidas running shoes, you'll notice that Boost foam is disappearing from a lot of them. It has always been a good, bouncy foam, even if it was heavier than other new materials in use today. Its disappearance makes us a little sad because it has extraordinary durability. Luckily, the latest Boston still has a small Boost plate sandwiched between layers of Lightstrike, the brand's new foam. Even with this change, the shoe maintains the touch that has made it famous: its quick return and its versatility, being good for intervals, long runs and marathons.
Make no mistake, this is not a soft shoe, but it does provide just the right amount of protection. The sole still maintains a Continental rubber web that grips on wet floors and its treads reduce weight and improve flexibility without sacrificing traction. The upper has taken the cake in improvements: a smoother mesh with a little more space and comfort, especially in the forefoot, and which was previously somewhat narrow.

Nike Renew Run
Cheap running shoes are usually built haphazardly: they're heavy, the foam is hard, the forefoot is stiff… come on, you're sacrificing performance for a little money. The Renew Run, although they look similar aesthetically, have nothing to do with the more expensive React Infinity, but they perform well for their price thanks to their tested technology. Unlike the Infinity, which uses springy React foam, the Renew uses two more popular types of foam. Just below the heel, a Lunarlon plate, like the ones on the LunarGlide, remember?
Well, yes, the Renew has that same soft foam, but it's encased in Phylon, a basic EVA foam that Nike has been using for a long time. This combo makes them comfortable. “These are shoes that don't dictate what you do: they have enough structure and foam for long runs and aren't too big or bulky to slow you down during competitions or shorter training sessions,” said one tester.

Asics Gel-DS Trainer 25
In a Venn diagram of the shoes we recommend for daily running and competition, the Asics Gel-DS Trainer would be right in the middle. The near-competitors still keep the Flytefoam midsole, but Asics has played with the EVA mix to make it a bit softer than the previous one, and while it's not particularly soft, many testers have praised its apparent softness. The new upper is made of engineered mesh that wraps and supports the foot. Bonded overlays wrap the midfoot and heel for added support.
Asics has also widened the forefoot, although some of our testers think not enough. The sock-like upper has plenty of support, but the laces tend to come undone. With that in mind, these shoes aren't the best fit for runners with wide feet or those who prefer softer cushioning. Conversely, if you like sensitivity but don't need a lot of foam in the sole, the Gel-DS Trainer 25 will help you stick to your weekly training schedule.

Saucony Hurricane 22
These shoes have taken support, cushioning and energy return to the highest level. The credit goes to the midsole, which with a 13mm drop, supports the most overpronated gaits and is sandwiched between layers of soft foam and located on top of a slightly curved sole. The only thing you'll feel is a slope from the firm heel into the super-soft forefoot, with an energy return that has been rated one of the best in RW Shoe Lab tests.
Although still a fairly robust shoe, the 22 is lighter than the previous model, the Hurricane ISO 5. Saucony has also swapped out the controversial ghillie-style lacing system on the old ISOfit upper for regular, round laces. a template with a thick edge that gives a custom-made feel.
