The best running shoes for overweight runners

Like any good runner, it is necessary to wear running shoes that are fully adapted to our physical parameters and our way of running. But in particular, heavier runners should opt for models with maximum cushioning, which ensure greater shock absorption, while also providing formidable support.

Best running shoes for overweight runners, list

Without going off topic, we know that you want to know what are the best running shoes for that profile of runner who is overweight, and exceeds the barrier of 100 kilos. But such a fact should not be a heavy burden, never better said, but on the contrary, a motivation to be able to reverse the situation, and surpass yourself. We are sure that you will need to make an effort, and it will cost you, but you will succeed. We want to see you running as soon as possible! And remember that as we always do with our listings... we will be updating it with the latest news!

New Balance Fresh FoamX 1080 v13

Yes, we know it's not one of the new shoes arriving in 2024, because the release of the latest edition of the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 has taken place during the last quarter of 2023. But being the running shoe that it is, from RUNNEA we are sure that it will give a lot to talk about during the next season. The Boston brand does not lose the essence of what its reference model and top of the range means. These renewed Fresh Foam X 1080 v13 stand out for their smooth transitions transmitted by their exclusive cushioning system, but also thanks to the construction of a new midsole.

In this version, the amount of foam is greater in the wider areas, but also enhances flexibility in the narrower ones. On the other hand, this model also provides a breathable and stable fit, which comes from its technical mesh upper and a much more streamlined design compared to the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 v12 version. We are probably talking about New Balance Balance's best running shoe to date.
