Pro:Direct Running

Some runs are written into the training plan. Others happen because the rain stops, you find a spare hour and the legs finally feel good. Pro:Direct Running brings together the running shoes, clothing and gear for both, whether you're working towards your first 5K, building through a marathon block or heading out without looking at your watch.

Explore Men's Running Shoes and Women's Running Shoes from Nike, adidas, ASICS, HOKA, New Balance, On, PUMA, Saucony, Mizuno, Salomon and more. From everyday road miles and muddy trails to track sessions and race mornings, find the shoes, clothing and accessories that suit the running you actually do.

Running Shoes

Most of the miles happen between race days. A dependable pair of daily running shoes needs to handle regular training, with cushioning, comfort and durability that hold up through the week. Softer, more cushioned models suit runners who prioritise comfort on easy days and long runs, while lighter, more responsive shoes come into their own when the pace picks up. Supportive running shoes offer a more guided ride, with carbon-plated options sitting towards faster training and racing.

The surface matters just as much as the session. Road running shoes are built around the demands of pavement, while trail running calls for more grip and protection when the route moves onto mud, gravel and uneven ground. Explore Men's Trail Running Shoes and Women's Trail Running Shoes for footwear made for the conditions underfoot.

Every brand approaches running differently, and understanding the ranges makes choosing your next pair easier.

Within Men's Nike Running Shoes and Women's Nike Running Shoes, the Pegasus covers everyday training, the Vomero brings a more cushioned feel, and the Vaporfly and Alphafly are built around racing. Each has its place, depending on the pace, distance and underfoot feel you're after.

The Men's ASICS Running Shoes and Women's ASICS Running Shoes collections cover everything from the cushioned Gel-Nimbus and supportive Gel-Kayano to the lively Novablast and performance-focused Superblast. Different approaches to cushioning, stability and responsiveness, with options across everyday training and quicker sessions.

Men's New Balance Running Shoes and Women's New Balance Running Shoes offer similar variety. The 1080 leans towards cushioned daily miles, the 860 adds structured support, the FuelCell Rebel offers a lighter, more energetic ride, and the SuperComp range covers performance training and racing.

You'll also find adidas Adizero, HOKA's Clifton and Bondi, On's Cloudmonster and Saucony's Endorphin family among the wider running shoe collections. If you already know your next pair, head straight to Men's Nike Pegasus, Women's Nike Pegasus, Men's New Balance Rebel or Women's New Balance Rebel.

Running Clothing

Good running clothing should feel comfortable from the first few strides and stay that way as the miles build. Breathability, fit and freedom of movement all count, especially when the weather changes or a short run turns into something longer.

Explore Men's Running Clothing and Women's Running Clothing, including running tops, shorts, tights, leggings, jackets, vests, base layers and sports bras. Lightweight layers make sense through warmer months, while colder training calls for more thought around warmth, wind and rain. The right clothing should let you settle into the run without constantly adjusting what you're wearing.

Running Accessories

The longer you spend running, the more you appreciate the smaller pieces of kit. A good pair of Running Socks can make a difference to comfort inside the shoe, particularly as weekly mileage increases. Running Watches help keep track of pace, distance and training progress, while Running Headphones make room for music, podcasts or company on solo miles.

Long runs and harder sessions can bring Running Nutrition and hydration into the picture, especially when you're spending more time on your feet. Bottles, running belts, bags, caps, gloves, lights and recovery accessories complete the wider range, with different kit making sense for different distances and conditions.
