Pippa Middleton Loves These Running Sneakers (and Remember, She’s a Marathoner)

It’s no easy task choosing a pair of running shoes when there are hundreds of brands, models and colors on the market. Well (good news!), Pippa Middleton can’t seem to get enough of these particular sneakers, which have received loads of positive feedback from marathoners and celebrities alike.

It all started earlier this month when the 35-year-old sister of Kate Middleton was spotted on a jog with her son, Arthur, and her dogs. Pippa wore a pair of Hoka One One Clifton 5 sneakers, along with a branded T-shirt.

Her attire immediately caught our attention, since these are the same shoes that Middleton wore in June 2017 when she went on a run with her husband, James Matthew, during their honeymoon. (Guess we can check “durable” off our potential shoe checklist.)

If you’re wondering, why trust Middleton’s footwear selection? It’s important to point out that Pippa is an active marathoner. She made her debut at the 2015 Safaricom Marathon in Kenya, where she placed seventh overall in the female division.

So, naturally, we looked into Middleton’s go-to sneakers and discovered why she’s so smitten with the California-based brand: The shoe is not only made with breathable fabric, but it also features an award-winning cushion sole, which is ideal for long distance runners.

Middleton isn’t the only celeb who’s a fan of Hoka One One. Britney Spears regularly wears the brand’s apparel in her Instagram workout videos, along with Reese Witherspoon (Big Little Lies)— who was spotted jogging in a pair of Bondi 6 sneakers last month.

Thank you, Pippa, for testing our loyalty to Nike.
