Ok so they are a global brands, yes. They have enough advertising and endorsements but seriously they are the best runners out there in my opinion when talking middle or short distance wanting something light weight and optimal for speed and comfort....

NIKE

For running it is always going to be NIKE for me. yep i know they have enough hype on their own but my recommendations are purely from application and for the joints, stability, cushioning and weight you cannot go past NIKE

For off the beaten track this offers some more traction and a little bit more balance than its partner in crime for road running. Heel and toe protection and good grip while remaining light enough to not add load in the legs on those hills

Nike does it best for road running. I tried these as a deviation from the Pegasus Zoom recently. I personally think the shoes are both on par with this being a little thicker on the sole so higher off the ground. Great shoe with lots of cushion.

ASICS

ASICS has been my childhood friend and saw me through my competitive netball days! She is now perfected with the Netburner and no one does the ankle support, court traction or durability the way ASICS does. I love the quality and they easily last a s...

Not everyone likes the netting and for some it isn't suitable for toe thrust. These are everything beautiful in the NIKE shoe with a leather outer.

I was gifted these shoes. I am a nike girl for running but honestly love these shoes. They are a little wider but for some, that is needed! My ankle felt really supported and I could take these on the court if i needed (which is not something I would...

The shoe built for netball. If you know, you know. Most of us are probably wearing an ankle brace and need all the help we can get. This shoe is stable as a tree and fits the brace if you need it too.

KIDS

They are growing and need the best shoes for bones and joint health. Our kiddies fly though shoes, I get it, but it is not worth scrimping on the shoe just cause it won't last more than a season. With growing joints and bones the cushioning, support ...

These are for the budding all rounds. Triathlon shoes for the little ones are perfectly made by ASICS. yes, a little heavier than the adult Hoka but with the babes they are still growing and the stability and support is everything.

Great with the velcro for ease and not worrying about those pesky laces in a cross country race! Some really cool colours for the sports when all they can wear to school is the black!
