Ranked: the 68 highest rated knit running shoe families (2024)
The 'upper' of a shoe includes everything that sits upon the sole. Across different brands, styles and models they come in a variety of materials, colours and designs. One such material is knit, which is a woven fabric known for its ability to accommodate a wider variety of foot shapes because of its flexible nature. Knit uppers are usually closely compared to those made of mesh as they hold similar design qualities, however they differ in levels of breathability, water-resistance and stretch.
