Ok guys, are you looking for a new pair of athletic shoes to use when you exercise? Do you want some that are new, hot, and feature cutting edge technology? No matter what type of exercise you participate in there is a pair of shoes out there that are perfect for you. The key is finding the best pair of exercise shoes without having to spend a lot of money. Here are some popular shoes currently on the market that will take your workouts to a whole nether level.
Vibram Five Fingers – In my opinion Vibram Five Fingers are the coolest pair of shoes on the market today. Imagine toe socks and now think shoes and there you have a pair of Vibrams. The concept behind these shoes is not new and companies such as Nike are also trying to get in on the simulated barefoot walking only in a different way. Wearing these shoes is supposed to be like walking barefoot, thus helping to strengthen your feet and avoid injury. Vibram Five Fingers come in 4 different models for all types of exercisers. There are 2 pairs that I am recommending. First is the Five Fingers KSO for $85. The KSO shoes feature Vibram’s TC1 non-marking sole, breathable mesh encapsulating the foot, and a hook and loop strap to help keep the shoe securely in place. These shoes are available in 4 different colors and are great for light trekking, training, martial arts, yoga, running, and much more. If you are looking for a light weight exercise shoe to keep your feet cool and comfortable then the Vibram Five Fingers KSO are the ones for you. My second recommendation of this style of shoe is the Five Fingers Flow. They are similar in design to the KSO, however these shoes feature a neoprene upper and are designed to keep the foot warmer during cold weather workouts. The Flows are great for all the same activities that you would use the KSOs for. These shoes are available in 2 colors and will run you $90.

Nike Free 5.0 Running Shoe $85 – Nike came out with their line of Free shoes about 3 or 4 years ago. This is Nike’s “barefoot running shoe” and they are actually quite comfortable. The shoe is very flexible and you can almost roll it up into a small ball. This exercise shoe is also very breathable, as the shoe is covered in mesh. These shoes are very light and are definitely one of Nike’s best shoes, in my opinion. The Free 5.0 Running shoes come in 5 different colors and are available for purchase at the Nike Store: http://store.nike.com.
Nike Livestrong Lunar Trainer+ $100 – What is better than helping someone out? Well when you purchase the Nike Livestrong Lunar Trainers you will be helping out the Lance Armstrong Cancer Foundation since 100% of the profits are donated to this fund. These shoes, which are the signature yellow color, are compatible with the Nike workout feedback system (iPod and sport band) so you can have up to the minute information about your workout. These are the ultimate exercise shoes as they are light, breathable, and interactive. To get your Livestrong Lunar Trainers go to http://store.nike.com.
