When it comes to the best cushioned running shoes for women, we never stop innovating. We constantly push the limits of what a shoe can do, so you can push your limits out on the track. Think high-performance materials like our lightweight ZoomX foam that softens the impact of every stride. Meanwhile, breathable and lightweight Flyknit uppers keep your feet securely in the shoes without adding bulk. Models with wider midsoles add extra stability. Plus, waffle outsoles deliver reliable traction on uneven terrain.

On rainy runs, opt for designs with water-resistant GORE-TEX membranes to keep you dry and comfortable. Storm Tread outsoles offer traction you can count on when you're dealing with slippery surfaces. Want a little extra spring in your step? Choose running shoes with ReactX midsoles. This innovative cushioning foam gives you 13% more energy return compared with React foam for a responsive feel underfoot. Plus, our trainers are designed to deliver all-day comfort, thanks to plush padding on the collar and tongue.

Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join us, choose women's cushioned running shoes with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill.
