Though I consider myself a fitness girl, running is not for me. I can barely make it up the four flights of stairs to my apartment, let alone run for any measurable distance, so I’ve never had a reason to add a pair of running shoes to my collection. That is, until I saw the new ALO Runner sneakers, the first of their kind from the athleisure label. Not only are they cushiony and breathable, but they also provide stability and support whether you’re going for a run, taking a hike, or walking the streets of NYC. I mean, the versatility is unmatched. If you don’t believe me, just ask my marathon-running friends—they agreed that these sneakers are some of the most stylish and functional shoes they’ve seen this year. I might even be inspired to… dare I say… go for a jog. If you’re determined to enter your running era too, you might as well keep scrolling to shop my ALO running edit.
