I’m 220 and 6ft 4, I run half-marathons, and I’m slowly building up to do a full run. So this article is right up my street! More of this please, and yes not just running shoes, clothing too!

Great article. I’m 220 pounds, and in addition to preferring more firmness from some of the most popular shoes, I find some are wearing out very quickly, retiring shoes after approaching 175 miles. I would love to see something addressing durability for heavier runners, too, but this is a great article and has given me some good options to try.

Fellow clydesdale here. I’ll vouch for the Skecher GoRun Ride 11. It rules

I bought the takumi sen 8 last December 2023 and have been my go-to- shoes for training. Decided to run my half marathons and 32k with this one and got some midfoot swelling. I saw that the shoe was already broken with some sole separation, this with mileage of only 137 km 🙁

In reply to John Blair. Skechers has good arch support, you should look into the Ride 11 or Max Road 6.

I’m recovering from a compound pilon fracture in my ankle. I’m 290lbs and I need arch support. I’m not running anytime soon. What shoe do you think would have the best arch support??

It is so nice to see running shoes reviewed by someone I can relate to at 6’5 and 280lbs, like many other comments having that unique perspective, as I often find shoes that have been rubbished by traditional shoe tubers work for me case in point the Boston 10 and 11 and the Prime X2 strung, hoping that you do more reviews.

You left out the best shoes of them all! HOKAS! Come on man… Weather it’s hiking or running shoes Hoka is more comfortable then all the above you mentioned! There colors may not all be the greatest. Honestly I think their graphics designer is color blind. But hands down they make the most comfortable running/hiking shoe!

This is amazing! There isn’t much out there in the way of running gear and even less in the way of reviews for larger runners.

Id really love to see something on running clothes for larger runners! I’ve been running for close to 10 years now and it’s hard finding nice running clothes when you are 6’3″ 265.
