The London Marathon has wrapped up for another year, and if watching the event has sparked a desire in you to start training for the next one – or even just to take up running – investing in the right pair of shoes is crucial. The most vital piece of gear for any runner is undoubtedly a pair of comfy, supportive trainers, and Kelly Brook nailed this aspect with her choice of footwear for her commendable marathon run.
The model was seen triumphantly crossing the finish line in New Balance’s Fresh Foam X 1080 v14 Shoes, which have garnered rave reviews for their comfort and support. Currently retailing at £160, these trainers offer three different width options and ample cushioning to ensure you can tackle all 26 miles in absolute comfort.

The Fresh Foam X trainers are designed with midsole cushioning that aids your feet during each transition from landing to push-off while running, with a rocker design that contributes to smoother movement. Additionally, they feature soft, flexible uppers that provide plenty of support and keep your feet secure, along with a durable rubber outsole that resists wear and forefoot stiffness.

Crafted from mesh, the uppers allow your feet to breathe, preventing unnecessary sweating that could lead to chafing. Plus, the Fresh Foam X trainers are incredibly lightweight, tipping the scales at just 235.6g, so your feet won’t feel heavy or weighed down.
The Fresh Foam X trainers have been lauded for aiding with everything from back pain to joint pain, with customers commending them for their lightweight and comfortable nature. One penned: “This is my 3rd pair of this running shoe. Absolutely love the comfort, support and durability. Please don’t change it!”.
Another concurred: “They are like walking on pillows. Big toe box with the wide width that is nice. Highly recommend!”.
A different person wrote: “They are like running on clouds and the style is fantastic.”
However, some pointed out a flaw with the trainers, with one noting: “The shoes are comfortable but I would not buy again. They make a popping sound in the heel EVERY single time you take a step. It is extremely annoying!”

Others also remarked on this, with another reviewer writing: “There is a clicking noise coming from the sole. Didn’t hear it until I was walking after my run. Shoes are okay.”
Nonetheless, plenty of others didn’t notice any issues, with one stating: “They’re great! Super comfortable for long runs! I ran a half marathon with these bad boys and they carried me with no complaints. There’s enough cushion that my knees feel supported in every step. I just love them!”
You can snag the Fresh Foam X trainers in five different colourways on the New Balance website, and they come in sizes 3 to 8, with half size available to get that perfect fit. You can also choose from standard, wide and extra wide fits.
Another pair of trainers with a similar design is the Asics GEL-NIMBUS 27, which are currently up for grabs on ASOS for £180. They come in five different colours, and are available in sizes 3 to 9, with half sizes also available, reports the Mirror.
