workout shoes

Show or tell me what you use, and for what.

I wear regular old nikes and am lusting after the new reebok zig techs. Convince me your shoe is better.

I'm interested in cardio, doing c25k, going to spinning classes, and circuit training in general.

I already got measured for Aasics by the good old US of A, but I'm looking for cute and functional. And I like bright colors.

I just bought some new ones. They are New Balance PL-1 400 Running. They are really light weight and super comfy. I am only wearing them walking so far but they are a whole lot better than what I was wearing. They are gray and white and pink.

I got them at Kohls

I also like cute, and bright colors. I'm lucky that my feet are pretty easy when it comes to sneakers, so I can buy based on what I like compared to a specific style. I've always really liked Nike Shox though. I also have a ton of Adidas sneakers that I love though because I had a friend who got me an employee discount. My most recent purchase of sneakers are New Balance, and I'm just meh about them.

So basically, I'm no help.

I love Nike Shox and so does H.

When the Zig Techs first came out H 'had to have them' and they were horrible. He got them right before the last deployment and they were completely ruined within 4 months. He used them once a day in the gym to run and the mesh on the sides where it's suppose to let your foot breath was ripped to shreds. It looked like someone took a pair of scissors to them. He said it also hurt his knees more than when he ran with the shox.

I'm terrible with tennis shoes. They always seem to make me hurt. I've been running in my Vibrams. Best idea for me ever.

I wear Brooks and they are amazing. Changed how I felt about running shoes.

I use New Balance but I'll be the first to admit they're not the cutest. I have major foot issues (have had 3 surgeries) and I have to go for function over form. And they make wide sizes and are orthotic friendly. If I could wear cute shoes, I would pick Nike. But their wide size is still too narrow, but they're so cute.

I wear Brooks for running. They feel like I dont have any thing on my feet when I am wearing them.

I do CrossFit, so I use Vibram FiveFingers on days where we have lots of lifting and minimal running. On days where we have more running, I use Reebok RealFlex, which are a lot like Nike Free. I just liked the way the Reeboks felt, but I've heard great things about the Frees, as well.

I LOVE my Asics Gel-Nimbus. They are the most comfortable running shoes I have ever put on my feet. Actually, they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet, period. The "styles" may be pretty limited; but comfort (and size availability) won over anything else this go round. I wear them for running, spinning, and strength training. I need to replace them and retire my current ones to strictly street wear.

But I love them! That is good information, thanks.

I love reebok zigs! I run everyday and they were so comfortable! I have really flat feet and most shoes kill them but the zigs don't bother me at all! I also have a pair of Nike frees and I love them too. I'm a bit of a running shore whore.
