A brand that’s always worth keeping an eye on is HOKA. Loved for their maximum cushioning, lightweight feel and innovative designs, they’re a go-to for runners who want comfort without compromising style or support.

Another favourite brand ON, known for its innovative cushioning and lightweight designs. Two of our top picks are the Cloudlit and Cloud 6. The Cloudlit leans towards a softer, more cushioned feel, making the pair ideal for walking, recovery days or just all-day comfort.

Both feature ON’s signature CloudTec® cushioning system, which give you that satisfying combination of soft landing and explosive take offs.
