The HOKA Clifton 10 is a firm, light-stability trainer that guides your rearfoot with its active foot frame. It still has an EVA midsole so its ride doesn't possess much bounce or energy return but it has 3 mm more heel stack height. Version 10 has a wider forefoot than its predecessor which makes it more comfortable but it also has a firmer ride and stability features that might put some runners off.

The Topo Athletic Cyclone 3 is an old school, lightweight speed trainer for short, fast runs. It has no plate or stiffener so it has a flexible midsole that doesn't provide any speed assistance. It also has a low stack height that ensures there is plenty of ground feel- too much ground feel for most runners. Version 3 has a new upper which provides better durability and breathability.

The PUMA ForeverRun Nitro 2 is a light stability daily trainer with a firm ride that’s best suited to short or middle-distance runs. It provides a stable ride with its wide base, stout heel clip and firmer outer midsole rim. Unlike other stability trainers, it doesn’t have a prominent arch sensation but it does force your rearfoot to not roll inward which may cause some discomfort if you’re not used to guidance. Version 2 has picked up some weight but has a new softer, circular knit upper

The Vomero was designed to be a versatile daily trainer, capable of handling various terrains- a more premium, more luxurious version of the Pegasus. Over the years, it has evolved, becoming more cushioned and softer. Version 18 is vastly different to previous versions. It has a much thicker midsole, a new upper and a new outsole. This comparison will tell you which version is better for you.

The ASICS S4+ Yogiri is a firm marathon racer that feels more like a speed trainer. While it’s significantly cheaper and more stable than most flagship super shoes, it doesn’t deliver as much energy return or provide as much speed assistance. Version 2 has the newer FF Turbo+ foam in its midsole which makes it slightly lighter.
