Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36
“The Nike Peg” never disappointed its customers. Which is why the latest update brought it up to the list of top running shoes of 2019.

Saucony Triumph ISO 5
Although released in 2018, the ISO 5 is still considered one of the top running shoes among runners in 2019. For 160$, you’ll have top of the line material by Saucony and significant improvements from ISO 4. These shoes feature a full-length Everun midsole (similar to, but firmer than the Boost tech) with rubber outsoles. The ISO 5 is most suitable for easy-paced runs and marathons.
Adidas AdiZero Adios 4
Following the marathon record holder, the Adidas AdiZero Adios 3, Adios 4 became very popular among marathon racers. Which is why they made it here. These shoes, just like their predecessors, feature a simple design, Boost midsole, and Continental rubber outsole for that extra grip. These shoes have a 140$ retail tag.
Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit
Last on this list, but definitely not least, we have the Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit. It belongs to the lower end of the price range of running shoes. And is considered as the less expensive, easy to obtain younger brother of the Nike Vaporfly 4% Flyknit. While the Vaporfly 4% Flyknit retails for 250$ (yes you read that right), you can get the Zoom Fly Flyknit for a chill $160. The shoes feature a carbon fiber plate and React foam in the midsole which ensures a bouncier experience. Nike Zoom Fly Flyknit is suitable for both long and short races.
Conclusion
So, whether you’re a professional or a casual runner, these shoes are the must-haves of 2019. You can choose them according to your most important requirements. You’ll find what you need whether it’s the comfort, speed or price.. Or all three!
