Compression Socks for Women for Mud Runs
Saucony + Salomon
Before you head out for a run, it's important to invest in a pair of perfect-fitting shoes. After all, researchers found that the majority of injuries that have been reported by marathoners — including blisters, toenail injuries, and plantar fasciitis — could all be related to wearing the wrong sneakers. The best way to figure out which ones work best is to get evaluated at a specialty running store, like Jack Rabbit, where they'll watch you run on a treadmill to see how your foot falls mid-stride. (Pro tip: Go later in the day, when your feet are swollen from walking around, to ensure your toes will always have enough wiggle room.) Once that's done, consider these top-notch options that are currently on the market.

Brooks Women's Levitate 2
Aptly named, the Levitate is all about giving a runner bounce. Its mix of foam and rubber technology in the sole provides tons of cushioning for those who want extra support, while the lightweight feel and slip-on style make it insanely comfortable no matter how long you're in them.

HOKA ONE ONE Women's Cavu Running Shoe
If you're feeling the need for speed, these ultralight shoes are a solid bet. They have Hoka's ProFLY midsole technology, so the softer heel absorbs impact upon landing while the firmer forefoot helps you push forward as you move through your stride.

Salomon Women's XR Mission Running Shoe
These are one of the most highly-rated running shoes on Amazon — 4.5 stars with over 3,000 reviews! — for a reason: They're designed for both pavement and trails, offer lots of traction, and have plenty of room in the toe box to prevent blisters.

Saucony Women's Stabil CS3 Running Shoe
This Saucony sneaker is known for its PowerGrid midsole cushioning and Support Frame Heel counter, making it a popular choice for those who deal with pronation problems (when the feet excessively roll inward upon landing), which can lead to injuries like shin splints, bunions, and plantar fasciitis.

New Balance Women's Fresh Foam Zante V3 Running Shoe
Designed for running fast, the "bootie" construction of this sneaker helps provide a snug fit for your next 5K. Plus, the aggressive toe spring and rubber outsole ensures a quick transition so you can clock your best times.

NIKE Women's Air Zoom Pegasus 33
The engineered mesh allows for breathability, so this ultralight shoe — which is cushioned in the midsole and offers flex grooves for natural range of motion — doesn't need any "breaking in" time to get that just-right feel.

Adidas Women's Ultraboost 19
An updated version of its super-popular Ultraboost sneaker, these running shoes are ideal for those who literally want to feel like they're getting an extra boost with each footstrike. Thanks to the brand's Boost technology cushioning system, it basically feels like the shoe is helping to propel you forward, without you doing any extra work.

ASICS Women's Gel-Fortitude 7 Running Shoe
While this running shoe was designed with technology to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off, an even bigger selling point is that it can support runners with larger builds, as well as those who require orthotics.

Under Armour Women's Charged Bandit 2 Cross-Country Running Shoe
This breathable, seamless sneaker is known for its two-piece Charged Cushioning midsole, which is firmer below the heel and softer below the forefoot, offering both comfort and support. Also, its tongue and lace technology helps ensure a more secure fit.

Reebok Women's OSR Harmony Road Running Shoe
Named the 2017Runner's World Best Debut for its performance-driven design and innovative KooshRide core technology, the tri-zone midsole of this sneaker also delivers shock absorption in the heel. The long-lasting cushion also makes it a big winner for long-distance runners.
