Not all running shoes are made equal. We can help you find a road shoe that is the perfect match for your build, biomechanics, and training goals.

Nike and Mizuno Running Shoes at the New England Running Company. When you walk into a typical sports store, you're faced with a daunting wall of shoes that all look more or less the same. At New England Running Company, we categorize our training shoes into 4 basic categories and help you find the that's right for you. All of the shoes within a category provide roughly the same level of cushioning and support; the difference is in the fit and feel of the shoe. Our custom fit assessment determines which category we recommend.

Neutral Shoe
The first group of shoes we stock is a neutral trainer. This shoe is best for a runner that is neutral or supinates (ankles roll out) and has an average to bigger build.

Support Shoe
A support trainer is best for mild to moderate overpronators (ankles roll in) of all builds. The key ingredient of the support trainers is a denser material in the inside of the midsole that helps to keep your ankles and knees properly aligned when you run.

Motion Control
We recommend a motion control shoe to a severe overpronator who needs extensive support to maintain proper body alignment. In addition to the dense inner midsole, a motion control will offer a more stable platform and more all around directional support.

Performance
We recommend our line of performance trainers to runners with a small build and clean biomechanics, runners with a moderate build and clean biomechanics looking for a shoe to do speedwork in, and runners with a big build looking for a more supportive racing shoe.

Not a runner?
We recommend running shoes for walkers as well, and can point you to the running shoes that we recommend for walkers of all fitness levels and builds.

We carry training shoes by ASICS®, Nike, Brooks, Saucony, New Balance, Mizuno, Ryka, Pearl Izumi, and Adidas.
