Our test team at Runner’s World has one job—pile miles onto the newest gear and tell you whether

it’s worth your hard-earned buck. This year, we found that truly wireless headphones have

matured and have batteries with enough juice to last through your longest runs. We also appre-

ciate the foam war that’s happening in footwear, providing us lightweight, cushioned training

shoes that add pep to our daily runs. And this is the year we didn’t have to sacrifice performance

for stylish wear. After careful evaluation and discussion among our team of test editors, these

21 exceptional Gear of the Year products are the best you can get right now.
