Moti Running

The Brooks Hyperion Max 3 is a genuinely enjoyable, smooth-rolling trainer with enough versatility to handle almost any run you throw at it. It’s stable for its height, cushioned without being mushy, and secure in the upper in a way that inspires confidence — even if you accidentally go half a size up like I did. It’s not the ultimate fast-day shoe, and it’s not for runners who crave ground feel, but as a fun, comfortable, capable daily trainer, it absolutely shines. If you want a shoe that feels great on foot, gives you options across distances and paces, and makes running feel enjoyable, this one fits the brief perfectly.

The Brooks Ghost 17 is a great update to the series and easily one of the most dependable daily trainers available right now. It delivers comfort, cushioning, stability and broad versatility in one package. A touch heavier than ideal for pure speedwork, but far more capable across distances than previous versions. If you want a durable, comfortable workhorse that handles everything from your gentle 5Ks to your longer weekend miles, the Ghost 17 is a fantastic pick.

The HOKA Skyflow isn’t about chasing speed or racing—it’s about comfort, volume, and consistency. For me, it’s the kind of shoe I grab when I want to forget about my feet and just run. It gives plush cushioning, stable structure and durability in one package. If your running week is heavy on easy or longer efforts and you want a trainer that supports that without fuss, the Skyflow is a dependable choice.

The HOKA Challenger 7 has become one of the most versatile shoes I’ve ever run in. It’s genuinely comfortable on the road, surprisingly capable on the trail, and stable enough to handle pretty much anything short of highly technical terrain. If your running, like mine, takes you from the pavement to the paths and everything in between, this shoe just makes sense. I’ll still reach for the Speedgoats for the roughest routes, but for everyday mixed-terrain running, the Challenger 7 is the shoe I wish I’d bought years ago.
