Here at the Strategist, we like to think of ourselves as crazy (in the good way) about the stuff we buy, but as much as we'd like to, we can't try everything. Which is why we have People's Choice, in which we find the best-reviewed products and single out the most convincing ones. (You can learn more about our rating system and how we pick each item here.)

And while we've written about the best shoes for women before — including comfortable shoes for travel and being on your feet all day, shoes for working out and running, and even water shoes — here, we've rounded up the best Nike shoes for women, as praised by the most enthusiastic reviewers on Zappos.

Damian Lillard's neon green shoes cause a stir on Twitter during Game 2 - SF Gate

Posted: 16 May 2019 07:08 PM PDT

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard decided to wear a nauseatingly bright pair of florescent green shoes to Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, and a number of Twitter users were blinded by the light.

"Damian Lillard's shoes made me switch channels," one user wrote.

"You can probably see Damian Lillard's shoes from the International Space Station," wrote another.

The shoes appear to be the Adidas Dame 5 that Lillard wore during the 2019 McDonald's All-American Powerade Jam Fest complete with black strips on the back of the shoes that say, "Jam Fest."

While Lillard's decision to wear neon green shoes with a red jersey and red pair of shorts seems, uh, unconventional, this is actually not the first time he's done it.

Last fall, the league actually asked him to stop wearing shoes that don't match the uniforms he's wearing.

"Even though I get a little uncomfortable when the colors get too crazy, and go away from the color of the uniform I'm wearing," Lillard told The Undefeated in September. "I haven't been fined, but I've been warned."

Best Dress Shoes For Men This Spring That Are Stylish And Comfortable - Forbes

Posted: 16 May 2019 10:00 AM PDT

Whether you dress up for work every day or just need something new for all the spring and summer weddings you've been invited to, shopping for dress shoes doesn't have to be stressful. There are a lot of options out there, and a lot look very similar to each other, so we've done a little bit of leg work for you and narrowed things down. We've got everything from your uber dressy black tie (optional) wedding shoe, to a casual pair for dinner on your next vacation (or staycation).

There are a variety of modern and on-trend dress shoes that are currently available on the market, such as brogues, wingtips, and loafers. Some provide extra comfort for those long days on your feet at the office. Others are weatherproof and waterproof protecting you from those unexpected spring showers on your daily commute. And finally, there are those statement dress shoes with unique details that are perfect for the theater, a night out with your lady, or an evening soiree.

But, how do you narrow down the options? When it comes to dress shoes, price point is important. However, making an investment in the right shoe could seamlessly take you through each season without significant wear and tear.

We have conducted our research and compiled a list of our favorite dress shoes for men. (We've also compiled lists of the best shoes for women, and sneakers for women and men this season.)

The bottom line is, dress shoes are an investment. You'll wear them for years to many different events with many different ensembles, so making the right choice is important.

The Best Road Running Shoes of 2019 - Outside Magazine

Posted: 15 May 2019 09:23 AM PDT

Skechers Performance GoRun 7 Hyper ($125)

Here's a true zero-to-hero story. Last year the Skechers GoRun barely got our attention. One model later, our testers won't take them off their feet. What changed? It's a more versatile shoe, balancing soft cushioning for recovery days with plenty of pop and energy for tempo runs. Skechers hit a gold mine with its new midsole compound, called Hyper Burst. Using a proprietary, mechanically blown process, the brand lightened up the foam by 15 percent while increasing durability over its previous midsole. As one tester put it, "Whatever deal with the devil Skechers had to strike was worth it. This midsole has a ton of energy and zing. The Hyper Burst foam is soft to the touch but doesn't feel mushy." Underfoot, severe rocker slings mid- or forefoot strikers with each stride. The knit upper is so cozy that one tester said, "If my slippers were running shoes, this is what they would feel like." Don't let the bland aesthetics fool you: Skechers is the undis­puted champion with this GoRun. 7.8 oz (men's) / 6.1 oz (women's); 4 mm drop

On Running Cloudsurfer ($150)

Best Racer

From the Swiss company that patented the CloudTec system—funky rubber pods that compress when you step and release on toe-off—comes the fast-feeling Cloudsurfer. This shoe runs lighter than it is. Testers loved that it was "responsive yet cushioned," with a "snappy feel." Smooth transitions, a secure fit around the heel, and traction on wet surfaces (the new zigzag pattern on each outsole pod is a winner) inspired us to pick up the pace. Long-haul comfort comes from the pliable engineered-mesh upper and two layers of EVA foam. Note: small rocks tend to get lodged between the pods, so keep this shoe on the road. 11.6 oz (men's) / 9.3 oz (women's); 6 mm drop

Brooks Glycerin 17 ($150)

Most Cushioned

We'll admit, words like cushy, responsive, and smooth have become a bit cliché. (We'll also cop to overusing them.) But the Glycerin 17 raises the standard by which all other maximalist shoes should be judged. As one tester put it, this shoe is "cushioned to perfection." The magic is in the midsole—a mixture of EVA, rubber, and air called DNA Loft. Rubber boosts the EVA's longevity, while air reduces weight, giving "a soft ride and a light bounce that keep you comfortable," as one tester put it. From recovery runs to long outings, this high-mileage workhorse's pillowy landings and efficient transitions left us grinning. 10.6 oz (men's) / 9.2 oz (women's); 10 mm drop

ASICS Gel-DS Trainer 24 ($130)

Best Speedster for Large Runners

The Gel-DS Trainer has long been a go-to for those who like to run fast but need some stability. It's always been lightweight, sleek, and semi-firm, but this year the fit gets amazing: it's the first ASICS shoe to join the knit-upper revolution. And we dig it. Testers said it was breathable and accommodating, though it took a couple of runs to break in. The firm midsole and solid traction—thanks to small lugs made with ASICS's high-abrasion rubber—add to the agile ride, most noticeably in tight turns and while accelerating. A low-volume shoe with a secure heel, the Gel-DS Trainer makes you feel locked, loaded, and ready to fly. 8.7 oz (men's) / 7.1 oz (women's); 8 mm drop

Hoka One One Arahi 3 ($130)

Most Supportive

Running shoes used to have to sacrifice weight and cushion for stability. When it debuted in 2017, the Arahi challenged that status quo. The third iteration continues the original's trend-bucking ways—weighing eight ounces for women and under ten for men, it's one of the lightest stability shoes on the market. Hoka gave the upper new life by removing the overlays and softening the mesh, resulting in a much airier, more comfortable feel. On the road, the Arahi's thick stack and wide waist produce a steady ride. The downside, as one neutral-footed tester noted, is that the extreme girth felt somewhat clunky and blocky. 9.6 oz (men's) / 8 oz (women's); 5 mm drop

Salomon Sonic RA 2 ($130)

Best for Lightweight Stability

Some shoes need a little love to reveal their true colors. The Sonic RA is one of them. Testers found it stiff out of the box, with a firm ride. But after a few outings, the Energycell Plus midsole came alive; testers able to produce enough force to flex the forefoot during toe-off were rewarded with a propulsive spring forward. Slimmer runners may struggle to get the same result. The new upper—seamless engineered mesh—is a welcome change. Overall, this is a scrappy lightweight that can take a beating, and one of the most durable of our test. "A good midrange shoe with comfort, support, and stability," said one tester. 9.2 oz (men's) / 7.8 oz (women's); 8 mm drop

Men's Women's


New Balance 1080v9 ($150)

Best for All-Day Comfort

Yes, this is a supremely cushioned neutral shoe, but the lack of medial post or targeted structure would usually scare off anyone needing stability. So we were pleasantly surprised by the 1080v9's steadiness. We chalk it up to the shoe's new 3-D-molded heel collar, an engineered-mesh upper that wraps securely around the arch for a supportive fit, and a broad midsole and outsole base under the forefoot. And the cush? The ninth iteration of this shoe boasts full-length New Balance Fresh Foam, a midsole testers called "springy" and "speed inspiring." The 1080v9 was so comfy that we found excuses to wear it just walking around. 10.4 oz (men's) / 8.9 oz (women's); 8 mm drop
