ADIDAS NEUTRAL RUNNING SHOES

Neutral running shoes are designed to offer exceptional cushioning that won’t hinder the natural pronation of your feet. Designed to offer responsive, energy returning cushioning, neutral running trainers help you keep your focus through every mile.

Are neutral running shoes right for you?

Neutral running positions mean that when you run under pronate, you have a normal rigid arch on your foot that distributes weight evenly across your heel and toe when you run, but doesn’t roll inwards (pronation) to reduce impact. Runners with this style need to have a cushioned running shoe to reduce the risk of impact damage and stress.

Running · Neutral · Shoes · Elastic Frequently Asked Questions

What are neutral running shoes for?

Neutral running shoes are designed for runners who have a natural pronation pattern, where the foot rolls inward slightly as it strikes the ground and absorbs impact. Neutral running shoes provide balanced cushioning for shock absorption and support throughout your run. They're flexible to allow for a natural and efficient stride, promoting good running form. In contrast, stability shoes are designed for runners who overpronate (excessive inward rolling). They have built-in features to control this motion and prevent injuries. Read about about how to choose running shoes on our blog.

How do I know if I need a neutral running shoe?

One way to tell if neutral running shoes are right for you is to check the wear pattern on the soles of your everyday shoes. If the wear is even across the entire sole, it suggests a neutral gait suitable for neutral shoes. If the wear is concentrated on the inner side of the heel and forefoot, it might indicate overpronation, calling for stability shoes. New runners often don't have established gait patterns yet, so neutral shoes are a good starting point unless you have a diagnosed gait abnormality.

Can anyone wear neutral running shoes?

Neutral running shoes are the most common kind of running shoes, and they're a good option for many runners — but it depends on your pronation pattern. Neutral running shoes are designed for runners with a natural pronation pattern. This means their foot rolls inward slightly during running to absorb impact. If your feet roll inward excessively during running (overpronation), neutral shoes might not provide enough support. Stability shoes with built-in features to control inward rolling are better suited for overpronators.
