As it is now allowed to go running and enjoy individual sport libre, in Runnea we have prepared this significant list with the 15 best-selling Running shoes during this stage of confinement, in which the restrictions have been eased, and allow us to enjoy our favorite sport: running.

In addition to running miles on the road, there are many who have also tried to regain sensations in mountain terrain.
