5 New Summer Running Shoes For Every Need

Stride into summer with 440 Run Club’s performance shoe picks.

Best performance shoes for running advice from the 440 Run Club

Few types of shoe seem so similar, yet are so varied, as the humble running shoe. Running shoe technology has come along leaps and bounds even in the last few years, and the landscape is now more replete with models and brands than ever before. It can make choosing a new pair a minefield, particularly if you’re just getting into the hobby for the first time. Which is why we decided to enlist the help of some of Australia’s most seasoned runners, Todd and Trent from the 440 run club, to bring you some of their most recent favourites to see you hitting the pavement with confidence.
