Understanding Brooks Running Shoes: Choosing the Right Model for You

Choosing the right pair of running shoes is about more than just color or cushioning. It starts with understanding your gait. Brooks, among other brands, builds shoes designed to support different running styles, and one of the biggest distinctions you’ll see is between neutral andstability shoes. But what does that mean, and which is right for you?
