Brooks Running Shoes and Gear for Beginners


When you step into a new sport like running, you need to consider the shoes and gear you will need to help ease into it. Brooks is here to help you start your journey with running shoes and gear you can wear even as you level up your run.


How to Choose Running Shoes for Beginners


Here are a few things you need to consider when choosing running shoes as a beginner:


Prioritise comfort and stability - As a new runner, you will need shoes that are soft, flexible and stable to suit to the needs of your ankle and feet. Collections like the Glycerin or Ghost provide soft cushioning and responsiveness with every step, and are recommended for those looking for added comfort on their run.


Where will you be running? - While it would seem like your gym shoes would work on a trail too, it is best to choose the right ones for different terrains. Find the best running shoes for you, whether road running, trail running or hiking.


How should your running shoes fit? - Comfort is a priority when it comes to fit. Your running shoes shouldn't be so tight that you can't move your toes in them. There should ideally be a thumb-width space between your toes and the front of your shoes. It is also important to remember that your running shoes may not be the same size and fit as your daily-wear shoes. Get advice on how to find your right fit. Find out more about how shoes should fit with our size guide.


How to choose running clothing for beginners


Your running fit does not stop at shoes. Running clothes are just as important as finding the right pair of shoes. Building up a sweat during a good run is inevitable, so it is important to be in clothing that is sweat-wicking, lightweight and breathable. From running shirts, bottoms, sports bras and more, Brooks has the best collection of running clothes for beginners that help you stay comfortable and in turn, improve your performance.


Tips for new runners


Getting into running can be a tough decision for many. Check out the Brooks beginners hub for advice, additional resources or tips for new runners and our Shoefinder can help find you the right fitting running shoes.
