What Is a Cushioned Shoe and How Do We Pick the Best Ones? (podcast)

Cushioned shoes are big nowadays, and we're not just talking about the stack height. Almost every brand has a selection of chunky options designed to deliver comfort, improve energy return and, in some cases, provide versatility for harder sessions. In this podcast video, we talk about the world of cushioned shoes in preparation for our soon-to-drop best cushioned shoes video. We discuss what's out there, what makes a good cushioned shoe and run through some of our favourites.
