SOTD (Shoes Of The Day)

Dubai Creek Striders runners (www.dubaicreekstriders.org) reveal the shoes that they like to rock on their Friday morning run

Gigi
100km-150km runner
Adidas Supernova Glide
“I think the glide is good because it’s neutral. I’m petite, so I want my shoe to be lightweight too.” Samantha
21km runner
Adidas Supernova Glide
“I choose to wear this for long distance as it has a lot more cushioning and it’s also quite light. It is however, a bit narrow in the toe box for me so I will probably swap to Newtons.” Sioned
10km runner
Saucony
“I bought these in the UK has they have got a little bit of support. I always go for Saucony. They are the perfect fit for me.”

Ellen
21km runner
Asics Gel-Nimbus
“They are neutral. I have a neutral foot and they have really good support.” Aida
42kg runner
Saucony Cortana
“The physio recommended them because they have a wide toe box. They are light and have good cushioning. I bought two pairs!” Christel
10km runner
Adidas Response Cushion 20
“When I started running I was overpronating so I ran with a support shoe. I then went to a chiropractor and had a few minor adjustments and now I run with a neutral shoe. My pronation has now all gone, so they are suggesting I switch to the Adidas Glide that has less cushioning.” Rebecca
42kg runner
Saucony Mirage
“I bought these because they were the most similar to the Saucony Guide, which I loved. They are lovely and light. However, for my next purchase I would probably like to go more barefoot.” Kathryn
21km runner
Saucony Virrata
“I spoke to a running coach as I wanted to move away from built-up shoes. They are not Vibram Fivefingers, not barefoot, but they are pretty flexible. I’m delighted with them.”
