Showing full answer

Most runners use Nike shoes because they're widely available and familiar. For training, any decent shoe works if it's comfortable. Some runners swear by Nike's cushioning technologies, others prefer different feel. Training shoes are typically cheaper than racing shoes and should prioritize comfort over everything else.
