Black men's shoes are easy to style, but choosing the right pair isn't always straightforward. A pair for a walk around town needs different features from black men's running shoes. Even black men's trainers can vary considerably in fit, cushioning, grip and materials.
Watch out for these common pitfalls:
Measure your foot at the end of the day, wearing the socks you normally use. Place your heel against a wall and measure to the tip of your longest toe. Compare this length with the brand's size guide. Don't just look at EU sizes: some product pages also give foot length in millimetres or centimetres.
For example, the Adidas Supernova Stride 2 is listed as suitable for a foot length of 250 mm in EU 40 2/3, 260 mm in EU 41 1/3 and 285 mm in EU 44 2/3. This makes it easier to choose a suitable size. For the Puma Speedcat OG, the product information recommends choosing your usual European size.
Also check that there's enough room around your toes. A little extra room can be useful for running, while a casual style such as the Vans Authentic should fit snugly without pinching.
For everyday wear and walking, a flexible sole may be enough. For running, cushioning, stability and energy return matter more. These features depend on the midsole construction and your personal preference.
These terms describe the construction, but they don't guarantee that a shoe will feel the same to every runner. If you mainly run at an easy pace over short to medium distances, you may prefer a different feel from someone doing speed training.
Think about the surfaces you'll be wearing the shoes on. A rubber outsole is often practical for tarmac, cycle paths and sports halls. If you regularly use unpaved trails, pay extra attention to the tread and grip.
According to the product information, the Supernova Stride 2 has an Adiwear rubber outsole. The Adizero Boston 13 uses a Lighttraxion outsole with Continental Rubber. The Adidas Run 70s 2.0 has a rubber outsole and is mainly designed for everyday wear.
The upper also makes a difference. Mesh can help keep your feet ventilated, while synthetic leather and textile create a more enclosed look. Check the care instructions too: according to their product instructions, the Adidas models mentioned here should not be machine washed. Wipe them with a damp cloth and leave them to air dry instead.
Why it suits this profile: This model is a good fit if you're looking for one pair for everyday wear, walking and sporty outfits. Its classic running-shoe style is easy to wear with jeans or tracksuit bottoms.
The product information mentions a flexible construction, textile lining and rubber outsole. Be sure to check the size: this listing pairs EU 40 2/3 with a foot length of 25.5 cm.
Synthetic leather and textile upper, textile lining and rubber outsole. The product description says they're designed for everyday comfort.
Why it suits this profile: A sensible choice for runners looking for a training shoe that focuses on cushioning, ventilation and grip on paved routes.
The product description specifies a mesh upper, a combination of Dreamstrike+ and EVA, and an Adiwear outsole. This makes it easier to compare features rather than relying on marketing claims alone.
Textile and synthetic mesh, a hybrid midsole and a rubber outsole. The product information states that at least 20% of the materials are recycled and renewable.
Why it suits this profile: According to the product description, this model is designed for intensive training and race preparation. It's therefore a better fit for runners with specific goals than for everyday wear alone.
Its intended use is clearly described: speed training and intensive sessions. Before buying, make sure you're looking for this type of responsive shoe rather than a soft walking trainer.
Textile upper, Lightstrike Pro, ENERGYRODS and a Lighttraxion outsole with Continental Rubber, according to the product information. This listing is for EU size 39 1/3.
We've put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the current European safety regulations.
Not necessarily. Check whether the product description lists running as an intended use, and look at the midsole, fit and outsole. A model such as the Adidas Run 70s 2.0 is mainly designed for everyday wear. The Supernova Stride 2, Supernova Ease and Adizero Boston 13 are described more specifically for training.
Their lifespan depends on how often you wear them, your body weight, the surface you use them on, how well you care for them and whether you alternate them with other shoes. Check the soles for smooth patches, cracks and a misshapen midsole. Air your shoes after wearing them and follow the care instructions. Machine washing can damage materials and adhesive bonds if it isn't permitted.
Black can absorb more heat from the sun, but comfort depends mainly on ventilation and materials. A mesh upper, such as those found on several Adidas men's running shoes, may feel airier than a more enclosed upper. For everyday wear, your socks, the fit and the amount of room around your feet also matter.
