The full ranking

  1. 1. Li-Ning

    Chaoying Pro

    A plateless, high-stack daily trainer with a Super Boom PEBA core framed by supercritical EVA sidewalls. RTINGS found it protective and stable, especially for heel strikers, but low on energy return and not very lively at faster paces.

  2. 2. Li-Ning

    Feidian 6 Challenger

    The cheapest Feidian 6 combines Super Boom and Boom PEBA-based foams with a T700 carbon plate. The WeeViews tester found it light, snappy and versatile across easy runs, tempos and a long run, with a durable, grippy outsole.

  3. 3. Li-Ning

    Feidian 6 Elite

    A full-length carbon-plated racer with an all-Super Boom PEBA midsole and a spoon-shaped plate. RTINGS found it light, protective and full of energy return for marathon racing, though it can feel hard to control when tired and suits midfoot and forefoot strikers better than heel strikers.

  4. 4. Li-Ning

    Feidian 6 Ultra

    Li-Ning's flagship marathon racer pairs a tall stack of Super Boom PEBA foam with a two-tier carbon plate that leaves a void under the midfoot. RTINGS found it light and very bouncy but less forgiving than most super shoes, best for strong forefoot strikers.

  5. 5. Li-Ning

    Red Hare 9 Ultra

    A max-stack super trainer with three layers of Li-Ning's Boom and Super Boom foams, including PEBA capsules, and a small midfoot shank instead of a carbon plate. Reviewers found it fun, bouncy and well cushioned for long runs, but narrow and a bit unstable or sluggish at faster efforts.
