Our Verdict

ANTA PG7 3

Dynafish Xiaonian

The ANTA PG7 3 and Dynafish Xiaonian are running shoes from rival Chinese brands, but the Dynafish is a much more versatile shoe, with a higher price tag. The ANTA shoe is a solid daily trainer that works well for walking, jogging, and shorter runs. The Dynafish is a much lighter, livelier shoe that is a better choice for intervals, long runs, and more intense training. If you are just starting out running and want a shoe that you can also wear to the gym or around town, the ANTA shoe makes the most sense. If you are a more advanced runner and want a shoe that can handle all your training runs, the Dynafish's higher price tag is worth it.
