Ultra runners can’t seem to get enough of recovery shoes – but do they really work? And which pair is best?
"After a challenging run the first thing that you want to do is take off your shoes and socks, allowing the foot to relax without any confines. Putting your feet back into regular shoes just doesn't hit the spot – your foot won't relax and as a result, won't feel comfortable,” explains John Jennings, a footwear buyer at Runners Need.
