22 BEST SHOES YOU CAN BUY RIGHT NOW • Fall marathon season got canceled because of COVID-19, but it hasn’t stopped runners from putting in big mileage and posting fast times. Whether you’re looking to simply cover your daily jogs with fewer aches and pains, or you’re lacing up to rip a virtual race, we have 22 pairs of shoes to help you achieve that goal. We tested 73 models of shoes during the pandemic—using a socially distanced distribution process with more than 200 local wear-testers. We looked at each shoe’s performance in key areas like comfort, stability, and responsiveness to identify the best options. Then we grouped them into three categories—daily trainers, racing flats, and trail shoes—to help you find the pair that suits your needs.
