A good daily trainer is the backbone of any runner’s shoe rotation, and might be the only shoe they own in fact. It’s a versatile, comfortable and durable shoe that can handle a variety of runs, and if you don’t enjoy using it, it will undermine the fun of running in general.
Our round-up of the best daily trainers available right now will help you find a shoe that brings more joy and energy to your regular running, whether you want a traditional shoe, a highly cushioned option, or a springy super-trainer.
We have options to suit different preferences and budgets in this video, so hopefully there’s something for all-comers to enjoy.

Adizero boston 13 is a great allrounder as is comfortable and can be used for long and short runs, is good for heavier runners, also the dual foam and dual rubber sole add a lot of duarability so it is great value for money
I purchased the Adidas Evo SL. I’ll keep you posted.
I’m looking for a good daily trainer for long runs. Interested in the Asics Mega and Super or perhaps the NB. Not familiar with Kiprun.
I currently have the Saucony guide 18s for my easy runs. What running shoes should I get to replace them? I was thinking the Nike Vomero plus or adidas EVO SL but not sure. I also have Megablast for my long/speedy runs.
hate wobbly running shoes
My rotation: EVO sl woven , Azura , speed 5 . I know very similar but I’m covered for everything except racing .
