5 Lifestyle Trainers You Can Run a Marathon In

Currently, there’s a problem with some brands and their advertising, some sportswear companies will advertise lifestyle (fashion) trainers as running shoes, but they offer little to no support for running. The opposite problem is that running shoes with great reviews aren’t very attractive to look at, and although the performance aspect should be more important, people can help but wish that their running shoes looked better.

Luckily there are a few running/ lifestyle trainers that both look stylish but also can be used for running without having to worry about them either being damaged or poorly supported.

New Balance Zante

A simple and stylish trainer that you wouldn’t think you can run in at first glance. The Zante is currently on its fourth model the V4, the style has a cult following since the original release and a few models later they have balanced out style and performance perfectly. The Zante uses the trademarked fresh foam technology in their soles to optimise runs with a soft bouncy feel. The style comes from the subtlety, it’s a trainer with a mild design that helps it blend into both the fashion and performance trainer bracket

Puma Ignite Evoknit

The Puma Ignite has been a big success in the running world, it’s a running trainer that combines a futuristic tech look with modern realistic running footwear. The Evoknit has taken the running sole and look and added a relaxed colour and fit to create a stylish trainer which is still ready for a run.

Reebok 6000

With the current hype around streetwear clothing, the Reebok 6000 is a simply styled trainer that is known to be a “street runner”. It’s an ideal trainer to match up with a mens fitted tracksuit or can be used for any running event. Commonly, it’s a trainer that is compared to the Adidas Ultraboost trainers, which is currently one of the best-selling running shoes.

Nike Zoom Pegasus

Well reviewed for ankle support, cushioning and overall road running performance, the Nike Zoom Pegasus is becoming a runner’s favourite. It looks to be a combination of the Nike Zoom (running) and the Pegasus (fashion) which has worked out well for both being stylish and performance-based.

Saucony Breakthru

Most people forget that Saucony offers a premium range of running shoes alongside their lifestyle trainers. The Breakthru trainer looks like a fashion trainer from the start, but the shape of the shoe indicates it’s also ready for performance. It’s in their running range and the colour options are the make or break of the style of the trainer, the subtler colours paint it as a lifestyle trainer, however, the other colour options are brighter and give it the full performance trainer vibe.
