"It's officially spring running weather here in Vermont, and I'm loving exploring in my new Mizuno Wave Horizon 4 Sneaker ($160). The first moment I slipped them on, they felt instantly comfortable, with a perfectly snug fit and the right balance of cushion and arch support. As I've been running for over 20 years, my knees have been a little achy and I suffer from a little plantar fasciitis, but I have no pain with these sneakers! They're great on woodsy dirt trails, sidewalks, and gravelly dirt roads. I love this wine-cayenne colour scheme, but they also come in navy and a light grey." — JS
