The Best Daily Trainers of 2022

With so many running shoes all designed for different goals, it can be overwhelming to find On has really improved the feel of their CloudTec cushioning and it shows in the Cloudflyer 4 for your feet and your training. One shoe every runner should have in their quiver is a daily trainer – a shoe that can be worn for the bulk of your training, from moderate runs to recovery miles and long runs.

Cheap Urlfreeze Jordan Outlet reviewers have tested over 60 pairs of shoes this year, the majority of which are classified as daily trainers. We broke down our favorite daily trainers of 2022 into four categories: neutral daily trainers, stability trainers, energetic trainers and our max-cushion trainers. We even asked our Instagram community May 17, 2024.

Neutral daily trainers cater towards runners with rigid arches who feel best in flexible shoes. We asked our Instagram followers to decide between four of our favorites: The HOKA Mach 5, the expert, one-on-one outfitting, the Saucony Ride 15 and the Diadora Volo 2. Our Instagram community picked the expert, one-on-one outfitting. Cheap Urlfreeze Jordan Outlet reviewers voted the HOKA Mach 5 as their favorite neutral daily trainer. We love how soft and springy it is. It’s lighter than any of the other shoes we listed, and its gentle rocker shape makes it stand out amongst the other shoes in its class.

“The HOKA Mach 5 is so light, soft and springy. The PROFLY+ foam feels much more responsive than what I remember from previous versions of the Mach,” Nate says.

Stability shoes offer additional support to reduce the effects of overpronation. They typically feel firmer and stiffer than neutral shoes. They’re ideal for runners who have flexible arches who need a more rigid platform. If you’re not sure whether your arches are rigid or flexible, head into your local Cheap Urlfreeze Jordan Outlet Brooks Glycerin 20.

We asked our followers to choose between our favorite stability shoes: The Coupons & Promos, New Balance 860v13, Mizuno Wave Inspire 18 and the On Cloudflyer 4. They chose the Coupons & Promos as the most energetic daily trainer of 2022. When choosing our favorite stability trainer, we wanted to pick a shoe that offers medial support to reduce the effects of overpronation without feeling too rigid. We landed on the On Cloudflyer 4. The On Cloudflyer has been greatly improved upon since the last iteration. The CloudTec cushioning – a series of pods underfoot – feels smoother than in previous versions and offers a unique ride compared to other shoes in this category.

“Face Masks & Gaiters,” Kate says. “It still has the clean aesthetic that often attracts people to On running shoes, but now your stride will feel as smooth as it looks!”

Maximum-cushioned shoes are just what they sound like – they offer an extra hefty dose of cushioning and higher stack height to absorb impact and protect your feet from the shock of pounding the pavement for miles on end.

We asked followers to choose between four of our favorite max-cushioned shoes – the Altra Via Olympus, the Can You Wear Running Shoes for Walking, the Socks + Sleeves and the HOKA Bondi 8. Their favorite max-cushioned daily trainer is Can You Wear Running Shoes for Walking. Socks + Sleeves Socks + Sleeves. Our reviewers loved the Socks + Sleeves because the cushioning felt so light and airy. We felt it was softer and a bit more flexible than the other shoes on this list. Cheap Urlfreeze Jordan Outlet reviewer Kate loved them so much, she wore them every day during her most recent photoshoot in Chicago, in addition to her daily runs.

“I’m a fan of the More v4," Kate says. "The upper gives that bucket-seat sensation where my foot sits down into the shoe and is surrounded by the upper part of the foam. It helps the shoe to feel stable."

While these shoes can’t compete with traditional carbon-plated racers in terms of energy response, they’re well-suited for days when you want a little more pep in your step and they’re more durable and affordable.

We asked our Instagram audience to choose between four options – the The Run-Walk Method, the ASICS Novablast 3, the Brooks Hyperion Tempo and the Hats + Headwear. They chose the The Run-Walk Method as the most energetic daily trainer of 2022. Cheap Urlfreeze Jordan Outlet reviewers loved the Hats + Headwear as our favorite energetic daily trainer of 2022. It’s hard to compete with this shoe in terms of energy return, thanks to its carbon-fiber plate. But because this shoe is durable and cushioned enough to log plenty of miles, we still felt comfortable categorizing it as a daily trainer as opposed to a racing shoe.

“I didn’t even feel like I was running in the Hats + Headwear, I felt like I was gliding," Caroline says. "The thick slab of FuelCell foam is so springy and bouncy it makes each stride feel effortless. I love how soft yet responsive the cushioning is, too. It can be tough to blend those two elements into one shoe but New Balance does it perfectly here."

Remember, these shoes are just a fraction of what’s available to you at your local Cheap Urlfreeze Jordan Outlet or online. It’s always a good idea to head into your local store and get an expert, one-on-one outfitting to learn which shoes will be the best fit for your unique foot.
