Best Running Shoes: Saucony Triumph 9
Ideal for: cushioning

Pavement pounders, this sneaker has your back. Thick cushioning in the midsole and a memory foam sock liner create the sensation of “running on a cloud.” The blown-rubber outsole is an additional buffer between your foot and the ground, providing “dependable traction, even on rain- slicked sidewalks.” ($130; saucony.com)
