Kinvara 14
£125

The original Kinvara came out at the height of the barefoot running boom and, here, 14 iterations later it has outlived and outlasted many of its competitors launched at the same time. With its standard 4mm offset and a new, beefed up geometry, the Kinvara 14 is built for speed but with enough cushioning to make it a versatile option. With its PWRRUN midsole, it’s a responsive ride that’s great for fast summer reps or a speedy 5K race.

Cumulus 25
£145

Version 24 of the long-standing Cumulus was a marked improvement but this version is a significant jump forward again. ASICS has rolled out its new PureGEL technology into the Cumulus 25, which is embedded in to the FF BLAST+ midsole to give the shoe its most cushioned version to date – completed with an additional 2mm of cushioning. A great summer road shoe for knocking out those sunnier miles.

Hoka Torrent 3
£120

Hoka has built its reputation on high stack height, pillowy-cushioned off-road shoes but not all of its shoes follow the same dynamic: the Torrent 3 is a lower-stack height off-road shoe with plenty of ground-contact feel. Perfect for those summer trails, the Torrent 3 has a 4mm-lugged outsole which is grippy enough for anything the UK can throw at it. The rear meta rocker helps you maintain a quick cadence and the shoe rides well on road or hard-packed trail.
