Top 10 Best Running Shoes for Men to Buy Online in the UK 2020

First up on our list is the Pegasus Turbo 2 Trail from the ever-popular sports brand Nike. We absolutely love the colourway - it's striking yet stylish. If it's not for you, there are 7 other colour options available, from more neutral shades to fluorescent ones that'll be perfect for night-time runners.

There's one main downside though - the HTT is a little lower than what most people are used to, so it may take time to adjust to this new set up. Also, we know the advertising shows smoke flying from the back of the trainers but don't set your expectations too high - these shoes still adhere to the laws of physics!

Salomon continues to show they're equally adept at providing running shoes for roads as well as trails. This is a high-performing and long-lasting running shoe with breathable upper synthetic materials that'll keep your feet free from sweat.

Furthermore, these shoes have two types of cushioning - one for shock absorption and one for propulsion. Yet, somewhat surprisingly, this shoe isn't as plush as it should be and the low HTT means you can feel the firm road beneath your feet. Some people may love this feeling, but it's not for everyone!

If a brand has successfully produced 10 previous versions of a shoe, then you know they're doing something right! While there are some differences between the Ghost 11 and its predecessors, the core design remains the same. Made from a brilliantly breathable fabric upper, with a solid gum rubber sole, these neutral trainers will keep their grip even in the worst weather conditions.

Unfortunately, these shoes don't have much cushioning, creating a more rigid running experience. They're also rather narrow, so not great for those with wider feet!

If you're just looking to get started in the jogging world, and aren't yet willing to splash a large amount of cash, then these are great entry-level running shoes. They're super lightweight with excellent durability and traction, due to the carbon rubber sole.

A word of warning though, many reviewers have stated that these shoes tend to run around half a size too big, so it's worth keeping that in mind. Also, they have a slightly high heel collar at the back which may rub if you prefer to wear trainer socks. Still, this is a cracking pair of shoes for the low price!

If you're planning to head out to a seriously muddy trail or track on the regular, then these Mudclaw trainers are ideal. They have an insanely grippy sole with 8mm lugs (the teeth-like part of the sole) and are built like football boots - with grip, durability, and speed in mind. 

Of course, there's not much point in having these shoes unless you're frequently out and about in muddy areas. It's also worth noting that they have very little cushioning, so be wary of protruding rocks or other sharp objects on your running path!

If you're a regular runner on winding city streets, these trainers from Adidas will be just the ticket! They can handle swift turns perfectly, due to their sole, cushioning, and 10mm HTT drop. This makes them suitable for experienced runners and newbies alike. 

Furthermore, these shoes incorporate a reflective element that's ideal for night-time running. It's just a shame that they run slightly smaller than the advertised size, so be sure to consider that if you're planning on picking up a pair. 

If you're someone with medium to high arches and overpronation, these running shoes by Brooks will be perfect. Their sole contains a guided "rollbar" which helps shift you back towards a more natural running style and will help you avoid any injuries in the long run - pun not intended!

With a soft, plush interior, these shoes are just generally very comfortable! Plus, they have adjustable eyelets near the laces that alter the heel if it's not sitting just right - such a handy feature that can really help with keeping your feet in the right position!

If you're looking for comfort and versatility, then these shoes by New Balance are a fantastic choice. Let's be honest, running can become monotonous - particularly if you're running the same route every day. With these bad boys, you'll be able to mix it up and run along both the trail and the road whenever you want! 

Considering their sturdiness, at under 300g these trainers are also pretty lightweight. Their neutral colour palette also makes a nice change from the usual bright fluorescent designs of most trainers.

Love running along trails and feeling cushioning under your feet? We highly recommend these Speedgoat 3 trainers - they have top-notch traction that will effortlessly claw into rough terrain and propel you up even the steepest of surfaces.

Moreover, they have great support due to added heel cushioning and a rather low HTT drop which encourages striding with the middle or the front of your foot first, enhancing your speed. To top it all off, they're less than £100 and look super stylish!

Asics have been around for over two decades and they're still producing amazing running shoes! These trainers are comfy and accommodating, with the synthetic mesh uppers moulding around your feet rather than constricting them. We also love the silky fabric on the heel cushion, which should help to avoid any painful rubbing. 

If you're prone to overpronation then these shoes provide support and will balance out your stride. Best of all, Asics have incorporated two different styles of their signature gel cushioning, meaning you'll feel like you're just bouncing along the floor. For all of these reasons, these trainers take our number 1 spot!
