I need shoes i can use for running as well as when i do stability ball workouts and basic cardio like jumping jacks, lunges, etc. i don’t run constant but i’m doing like a walk/jog/run deal until my body is more comfortable with straight running/jogging.

    I went to a running store and I was fitted with Asics. They had me run in them to check for pronation (look it up). I suggest going to a running type shoe store to get fitted properly.

    I use these shoes for the gym too. Jennifer R

    I work out a lot and I have excersized in about every brand of shoe… I have found that when I am in the gym or doing calestentic type excersizes or weight training, the type of shoes i am wearing matter very little. Wear something that is the most comfortable that you can find and make sure they are supportive engough, cool (temperature wise) enough, and they fit really well, and that you don’t mind getting them stinky.

    Its things like walking and running and hiking where special shoes are a must. infinate_cold

    I had new balance for about 7 months and they were very comfortable and good for long runs. I recently switched to the adidas bounce and they are very comfortable but they were 100$. Ty S

    If you plan to run always use a running shoe, cross trainers and basketball shoes are too stiff in the soles and will not displace shock properly. It you get a pair with good lateral support you can also use these for your other training. Remember these shoes will need to be replaced once a year with average use.

    Find a brand that fits comfortably, supports well, and if you have pronation a shoe insert like superfeet works great. Get a half size larger than your size. Happy Trails! John D

    I actually sell athletic shoes and I would definitely recommend finding a store that will watch your gait cycle and fit you accordingly. Personally, I’m a fan of the Nike Air Edge Trainers, while they’re a cross trainer they give me the medial support that I need and are incredibly lightweight plus I like that the outsole is multisurface. I also have a pair of New Balance One Thousands, which don’t have the best support for me personally but I still run in them occasionally. Asics are a good shoe, but not for everyone and like what someone else has said STAY AWAY FROM THE SHOX. If you’re looking for a cheap nike shoe, the Dart V isn’t too bad, and if you really want the nike+ try an air turbulence. 700 MB
