Comfort reigns—here’s how to find it.
Unfortunately, the science just isn’t there to uniformly recommend one feature or type of shoe.
The problem is, when runners began wearing motion-control shoes, overall injury rates didn’t change that much, as Nigg points out. And when scientists did follow-up research, measuring biomechanical factors like pronation and then watching to see which runners got hurt, the results were all over the place.
Most shoes use ethyl vinyl acetate, or EVA, which is lightweight, durable, and easy to mold and shape. Some sneakers, like, use blown thermoplastic polyurethane , which is also lightweight and bounces back quicker, Gray says. However, it’s often more expensive to manufacture—a cost that’s usually passed on to the buyer—and it might not last as long.
