Beginner
If you are just starting out and your feet are still adapting to impact and landing, the Rider 28 is a great entry-level shoe. Its cushioning and stability are solid, providing stable landings that reduce knee and ankle discomfort from unsteady strides. The upper is breathable and fits well, so beginners won't be discouraged by chafing or overly stiff soles.
