I ran 50 cumulative miles in the new Alo Runner and can confirmit’s excellent on all terrains.
Read my full review here.
To that end, I tested the Alo Runners on the trail, treadmill, and road.
Immediately, the Alo representative advised that I size up since the sneakers run small.
(She was right.
Im usually a size 6 but a size 6.5 fit better.)
…
When she brought them out, I was impressed at how chic they were.
Most running shoes these days have chunky, sporty soles and come in funky colors.
But the Alo Runner was lightweight and super sleek.
True to Alos aesthetic, it comes in two minimalist colors: white and black.
Road
I do most of my running on the road, including my Alo Runners workouts.
But my first on-road activity with the Alo Runners was aHot Girl Walkand I loved how breathable they were.
It was 90F in Los Angeles that day, but my feet remained cool during our mile-and-a-half strut.
They kept up every time.
Trail
I completed a trail half marathon in these shoes.
…
Id already hit many strides in the Runners, and I knew they would stand the half-marathon test.
On the trail and in the Georgia humidity, the breathability and traction of these shoes really shined.
Speaking of mud, the Alo Runners are machine washable.
Treadmill
Im more of a road runner than a trail or treadmill girlie.
It was one of the fastest miles Id run in a few weeks.
Its easy to style and looks great without sacrificing performance.
like dont take that to mean the sneaker didnt perform well during my half-marathonit did.
But I have to admit that I get a lot more support from my Hoka and New Balance sneakers.
But for short runs, speed workouts, and leisurely jogs, theyre fabulous.
