In this list you will find Running shoes, sneakers, models for Crossfit, and GPS Heart Rate Monitors & Sports Watches, among other good ideas. Now it's up to you to choose the product that best suits him, and the one he will be most excited about.
Running shoes
The quorum of RUNNEA editors has focused on betting on those models that offer you the maximum guarantees, and that really fit for all types of popular runners profiles. Top of the rangeRunning shoes in cushioning, but which also combine other features, in addition to performance, comfort and style.
The latest release of the German firm bets on a total revolution in its most iconic model with the adidas Ultraboost 21 with changes in design and performance. With 6% more Boost foam, the new LEP (Linear Energy Push) system, the evolved Primeknit+ fabric and the new Continental pattern on the outsole, these adidas Ultraboost 21 have improved cushioning, comfort and reactivity. Designed for all types of runners, especially neutral runners, and for all distances as a daily training shoe that never fails.
What are we going to say the Nike Pegasus 37 at this point in the movie? Simply that your choice is a great one. Obviously, its performance is the hallmark of the American house, but being a bestseller of Nike Running, the design is not in the background either. While waiting for the imminent release of the Nike Pegasus 38, these Nike Pegasus 37 are able to offer you reactive cushioning with that combination of React foam and Air Zoom to enjoy greater dynamism and energy return. In addition, this latest update to the best-selling Running shoes in history has also improved fit and support, as well as breathability for improved running feel at livelier paces.
The Boston-based brand's flagship for maximum cushioning shoes continues to evolve, and these New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v11 have improved, featuring a wider, more stable base, focused on running more efficiently and comfortablywith smooth, fluid transitions. Everything a dad runner needs for long distance training. And by the way, the stylish Fresh Foam technology with the stretch fabric upper provides 360-degree comfort for all your training sessions.
Another top-of-the-line shoe for neutral runners, the ASICS Nimbus 23 has undergone a redesign to improve that responsive feel, while maintaining its signature levels of cushioning and stability. The inclusion of more GEL foam in the heel area increases the feeling of a more comfortable and well-cushioned ride, while FlyteFoam Propel foam is responsible for providing optimal energy return. For its part, the Trusstic System ensures that fluid and stable footprint to advance in each kilometer with the utmost confidence and security.
We continue the review of this list of running shoes as the best option to give to a dad runner, and can not miss a shoe like the Mizuno Wave Rider 24, chosen as the best running shoe in the RUNNEA 2020 Awards. Its main argument in favor, the inclusion of Enerzy technology, which offers greater energy return and more dynamism in each step. But also without taking the eye off the evolved Wave Foam, which maintains the high levels of shock absorption so characteristic in this reference model for neutral runners of the Osaka brand. The rest of the design and materials of the Mizuno Wave Rider 24 are implemented to ensure stability, comfort and resistance.
Sneakers
We are clear that not everything is going to be running, but it is true that if there is something that the dad runner always prioritizes is comfort, even if vaya not wearing shorts. That's why sneakers are another sure hit, a very good alternative to complement his indefatigable companions to cover the miles on the asphalt.
The adidas Continental 80 is a classic among classics in casual sneakers. Vintage nostalgia prevails in this classic silhouette with a grained leather upper, its terry lining providing more comfort. Comfort is enhanced by the EVA foam insert in the arch area and signature segmented rubber outsole.
The Vans Old Skool are all pioneers in terms of style for being the first model to include that side band so characteristic of the brand. A model that stands out for its support and flexibility, but also that reinforced toe. In addition, the waffle sole, Vans' hallmark, ensures a better and firmer grip. Not to mention the canvas and suede upper for a touch of distinction.
More classics in sight with these Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lift that never go out of style, and also offer that 90's rocker look, especially if you choose the model with the leather upper (also available in canvas mesh). Classic wide and high rubber sole, which reinforces the cushioning and comfort of the model, but ensures a good grip to adapt to different surfaces. Comfort and style go hand in hand in this legendary casual sneaker from Converse.
In this list could not miss a NikeSneakers, and the one we highlight from RUNNEA is nothing more and nothing less than the Nike Renew very versatile, and you can use it for almost everything, from running with it to go to work with a more casual and casual look. The first detail to take into account is its great value for money, and also that its upper is made of one piece, which provides comfort, fit and support, in equal parts.
Training/Crossfit shoes (Training/Crossfit)
As you know, every good runner should combine long runs or sets with strength training. It is the right formula to avoid the appearance of the dreaded injuries. So you should complement your training with sessions in the gym. And you should also have the best equipment.
What these Nike SuperRep Go can offer the dad runner is a perfect balance between cushioning, support and flexibility for all movements and movements that can be carried out in the practice of Crossfit, as well as fitness and training activities. Its outsole provides good grip, durability and resistance, thanks to the reinforcements inserted in the most strategic points of the model.

An institution and a legendary model that in this latest version is a total change of concept, because the Reebok Nano X1 has gone from being the great reference in the world of Crossfit to become the "official shoe" of the fitness world. This means that its versatility is very high, and it is oriented to be used in high intensity HIIT routines, Le Mills, boxing and even weightlifting, among others. All materials and new technologies applied in these Reebok Nano X1 have the mission of comfort and stability, and without being exempt other parameters such as speed and power.
