Carbon plates

Full-length carbon plates feature in many modern women’s performance running shoes. They provide powerful propulsion and stability, enhancing speed on a road’s hard surface, acting as a rigid lever for a faster stride. 

High-Stack, Lightweight Foam

Women's road racing shoes are built with specialised, ultra-responsive foam that gives high energy return, helping to reduce fatigue over long distances. Advances in foams have made shoes lighter and feel virtually invisible, which can be a great advantage on race day. 

Rocker geometry

To take the stress off joints on race day, women’s road racing shoes include a curved midsole design that enables a smoother, faster transition from heel strike to toe-off. This can make a world of difference in the last kilometers of a long run or the home stretch of a half or full marathon. 

Lightweight outsole

Across this collection, many race day shoes have outsoles with a minimal amount of rubber to keep the shoe light, while still providing reliable traction on roads. This adds to that ‘floating’ feeling where the shoe feels part of your foot, not the other way around. 

SHOP BY BRAND

Explore a wide range of carbon plate running shoes, marathon shoes and upgraded models all crafted to support you from the start to finish lines, no matter the distance. 

adidas: The reimagined ADIZERO ADIOS range, including the Pro and Pro Evo, covers you from 5k to marathon distances, and everything in between. Strong carbon fibre EnergyRods and Lightstrike Pro foam create a comfy, smooth ride with exceptional grip. 

Nike: Passionate runners will already know these styles by heart: the Alphafly dialled in for marathons; the best-selling Vaporfly, and the built-for-speed Zoomx Streakfly. Nike are master engineers of women’s road racing shoes that utilise the latest tech and designs to help you get that next PB.

ASICS: As one of the leaders in women’s marathon shoes, ASICS Metaspeed Edge and Metaspeed Sky are for runners who zoom – fast. Lighter and softer, more stable and responsive than previous lines, the main difference between the two is that the SKY has more foam and the carbon plate is closer to the toe. 

HOKA: For a powerful but stable racer, check out the Rocket X. This versatile all-star shoe is versatile enough for tempo sessions and road racing thanks to dual-density responsive foam and carbon plating. But if pure speed is your aim, the Cielo X1 has the gear, heal geometry and propulsion to sling you forward. 

Brooks: For a stable, balanced ride, the Hyperion Elite combines DNA Gold PEBA foam with the SpeedVault+ carbon plate for great energy return. Hit your goals for tempo runs, 5ks, marathons and beyond. 

Mizuno: If fast and smooth is your goal, then the Hyperwarp range – featuring the Pro, Elite and Pure styles – is your go-to. Solid stability and high responsiveness make them reliable race day shoes. Mizuno’s fastest shoe, however, is the Wave Rebellion (Pro Low and Pro 3 models), where unique geometry meets MIZUNO ENERZY XP, a new nitrogen-infused supercritical foam. Its ‘wow’ factor makes for a fun and speedy race day experience.

New Balance: The Fuelcell Supercomp Elite are women’s marathon shoes with bounce. An 8mm heel drop and agile design make it nimble and resilient – just the kind of shoe you want to be wearing as you fly along on race day.
