People choose different shoes for different occassions it is a matter of practicality. Well choosing shoes for your workout is not any different they must fit the situation. Just as a football player wears cleats or turf shoes and a basketball player wears shoes made for the court you need shoes made for exercise. I am going to dedicate several blog posts to my opinion of the best choices for shoes for different workouts.
Running shoes
The widest variety of shoes you will find are probably classified as running shoes. They should be light weight, made of durable and breathable material and provide comfort throughout the sole of the shoe. If you are a long distance like more than 30+ miles a week runner you probably need to step into the world of asics gel these are the caddilac of running shoes. For a more novice runner who seeks comfort for feet I would look into New balance you really can't go wrong, New balance provide the most comfort hands down whether for walking or running.
Nike running shoes
Nike is the most popular shoe out there of course everyone knows "Just do it". Nike has its beginnings in providing athletes with running shoes. The nike waffles were a big hit back in the day. Now Nike has a vast selection of shoes to choose from for every sport and activity. For running they produce two of my all time favorite Nike Shox and Nike Air, of course they have others but these are top of the line.
Nike shox provide extra impact protection with the four column shox design in the heel for someone who has heel spurs or flat feet these shoes are an excellent choice. They are also very light weight and durable and can be used for running or for crosstraining. Also the best aspect of the Shox to me is that you can have the comfort and style. Nike shox have some great designs out there that can be seen as great fashion addition.
Nike Air is also on of my favorite shoes for running and the all around best workout shoe. The cushion and impact support the air bubble provides for your feet is superb. The construction of these shoes will last for years even with high milage. If you plan on running, jumping, lifting, or doing other sports you should try out Nike Air for your workout shoes.
There are many brands of shoes out there any if I left any good ones out please comment on your favorite workout shoe. When you are shopping for you next pair of kicks for working out it depends on the features which are most important to you. Cost, Style, Comfort, Quality, Durability? Take your pick. You are bound to find some great deals online but if I were you I would make sure to try the shoes one before kicking out $$. Head to the local mall or neighborhood shoe store and test drive the shoes before you purchase them. All feet are not created equal so see which shoes make you feet happy and go with it. Good Luck!!
