As is the norm, millions nationwide are using the new year to jump-start new and improved fitness goals. Whether you’re looking to maintain a routine or start fresh, the right footwear is essential in order to take those intentions seriously.

Outdoor workouts, despite it being cold, are still a popular favorite. These days, thanks to accessories like gloves and face coverings, you can still protect yourself from the elements and those around you from diseases while simultaneously breaking a sweat.

Picking out a running shoe is no easy task. From the purpose (long or short distance) and design (platform or flat) to finally the colorway (that matters), those are all things to consider when finding the perfect sneaker. Ahead, we researched and tested a number of trainers that go above and beyond our qualifications. Available in men’s and women’s sizes, shop our favorites below and snag a pair in time for the next sunny, winter morning.
