A women's version is not always a copy of the men's. The adidas Supernova Rise 3 shows it. The women's version lists a 7 mm drop, with a 35 mm heel and a 28 mm forefoot. The men's lists 8 mm.

One millimetre sounds small. Still, read the specs on the page of the exact pair you order.

A few details the table leaves out. The Supernova Rise 3 has a central strike zone in the heel, designed to match your foot-strike pattern. PUMA lists the Velocity Nitro 5 for runners with neutral pronation and puts its average lifespan at about 800 km.

Off-road and wet days

The Nike ACG Pegasus Trail brings road-running responsiveness to the trails. Nike built it with cushioning for longer outings and grip for wet ground.

Gore-Tex versions are also on this page: the Nike Pegasus 42 Gore-Tex, the Nike ACG Pegasus Trail GTX and the PUMA Voyage NITRO 4 GTX.

Room for your toes

Two of these shoes say it outright. The women's Pegasus 42 has more space in the forefoot and toe area. The ACG Pegasus Trail has a wider forefoot that gives the toes room to move.

Toes feel cramped in your current pair? Start with these two. The size measurements on each product page come from the brand, so compare them with your own foot length.
