Run in Comfort: How to Choose the Best Running Shoes for Maximum Performance
If you've gone for a run before and felt uncomfortable after the first few minutes, you know how important the right running shoes are. It’s not just about style or what’s trending - it's about support, comfort, and finding a pair that understands how you run. And that’s exactly where Lotto steps in with designs built for everyday runners who want to enjoy every step.
Whether you're searching for the best running shoes for women and men, or simply trying to avoid another “why did I buy these?” moment, here’s a simple guide to choosing your ideal pair.
1. Know Your Running Style
Everyone runs differently. Some hit the ground on their heels, some on their midfoot, and some on the front of their feet. Your running style affects how your body absorbs impact.
-
If you’re a heel-striker, focus on the extra cushion towards the back of the shoe.
-
Mid-strikers need balanced cushioning all around.
-
Forefoot runners benefit from a flexible, responsive front sole.
If you’re looking for the best running shoes for men that adapt well to most running styles, the Lotto ENERGEX in Star White-Gibraltar Sea-Rococco Red is a great example. It’s soft where you land and responsive when you push off - easy to trust for daily runs.
2. Pick the Right Cushioning Level
Cushioning is personal - the right level depends on your training:
-
Daily jogs - soft and supportive
-
Speed training - lighter, firmer soles
-
Long-distance runs - a good mix of shock absorption + stability
Lotto’s Energex series gets this balance right - soft enough for comfort, firm enough to keep you moving.
3. Fit That Feels Like Your Foot
Your running shoes should feel like an extension of your foot. Not stiff. Not squeezing your toes. Not sliding at the back.
Quick test: Wiggle your toes. If there is some space, but your heel is locked in, you are good to go.
Lotto’s men’s and women’s running collections follow natural foot shape contours, so you get that “fits just right” feeling from the first run.
For women who want a soft, easy fit, the Lotto ENERGEX in Soft Pink-Star White has you covered. This shoe is light, flexible, and shaped to feel natural, even if you do not run often.
4. Prioritise Breathability and Weight
If your feet feel hot, tired, or heavy mid-run, it’s usually the shoe - not you.
For women who prefer a feather-light feel, Lotto offers lightweight running shoes for women that keep airflow high and sweat low. Men’s styles also use mesh uppers to keep things breezy without compromising structure.
5. Never Ignore Arch Support
Flat feet, high arches, or neutral arches - your foot structure decides what support you need.
-
Flat-footed runners: Extra stability helps.
-
High arches: More cushioning is key.
-
Neutral runners: Balanced designs work great.
Lotto’s arch-friendly styles help you stay aligned and comfortable throughout your run.

Runners stick with Lotto because it simply fits. Breathable uppers keep your feet cool, cushioned soles absorb impact, and the fit feels natural, not forced.
-
