As an active runner and running coach, I have used this watch a lot in the past two years.

All the pounding on pavement from my running in NYC for the last 10 years was taking a toll on my feet, and I decided it was time for more cushioning.

For the running gift list, all of these brands have been tried and tested by members of the Runstreet team so we were able to weed out the good from the bad and the hell yeah from the humdrum.

There are excellent running shoe models that can help you run strong and injury-free without breaking your budget.
