Wellness Reviews

The Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro 3’s distinctive midsole design delivers as bouncy a ride as you’ll find in a racing shoe, but it’s unlikely to suit every runner.

The Adidas Supernova Rise 2 is a solid workhorse shoe that runners who don’t like to use max-cushioned daily trainers will enjoy, but there are better options out there.

The Amazfit Bip 6 smartwatch provides accurate health and fitness tracking at a fraction of the price of Apple and Oura.

The Diadora Gara Carbon 2 is a comfortable and speedy racer that also works well as a fast training shoe, and looks great too, but the high price is off-putting.

The Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 4 is a softer, lighter and faster shoe than the Adios Pro 3, and an excellent racing shoe for any distance.

The Asics Gel-Cumulus 27 is a reliable workhorse, but I prefer the other cushioned shoes in the Asics range, with both the Novablast 5 and Gel-Nimbus 27 being better daily trainers.

The Asics Metafuji Trail is one of the best racing shoes available for trail runners, but isn’t that stable and only performs at its best on the right kind of trails.

The Amazfit Active 2 is jam-packed with health and fitness-tracking tools that largely prove reliable. However, the user interface lacks refinement and common smartwatch features are absent.

The Saucony Endorphin Trainer is less than the sum of its parts, producing a dull ride despite the springy foam and carbon plate in its midsole, and it’s also too expensive.
