I am a bit of a shoe aficionado and I am always in search of the best and most comfortable shoes no matter what they are for. Most of my shoe shopping is in the realm of athletic shoes since I enjoy working out and staying active. I understand how important a good pair of shoes is to a workout or a run. If your shoes don’t fit well or feel comfortable then you aren’t going to want to work out or go on another run. If you are looking for a new pair of exercise shoes then I have some suggestions. Not all of these shoes are the most expensive or most flashy. These are shoes that I feel are practical and will be the most beneficial during your work outs.
Nike Free 5.0 $109.99 – The Nike Free shoes are a new concept of exercise shoe that Nike introduced a couple of years ago. I owned one of their first models and found the shoe to be quite comfortable. The concept behind the Nike Free shoes is to simulate barefoot running and help strengthen the foot. These shoes are available at many different locations, but the site I use it Eastbay. The Nike Free 5.0’s are available in three different women’s colors in a wide range of sizes. To get a pair of these shoes go to www.eastbay.com.
Under Armour Apparition $99.99 – Under Armour just recently started producing shoes. In the past couple of years they have developed quite a line of exercise shoes. The Under Armor Apparition is one of the company’s latest releases in women’s footwear. This shoe features breathable mesh and other synthetic materials. It is available in either pink and silver or silver and green. The Under Armor women’s exercise shoe (among with many other from this company) is available at www.eastbay.com.
Vibram Five Fingers Sprint $80 – Vibram Five Fingers are a completely unique shoe that is unlike any other on the market. The unique feature about this shoe is that instead of all your toes covered in the shoe, each toe has its on cover (kind of like toe socks). This is another shoe that simulates barefoot walking. The Sprint is a versatile shoe that has a hook and loop closure to keep it secured. It is designed for light trekking, running, fitness training, and so on. Personally I think these shoes are the coolest and I really want a pair (only a different model). This shoe and other models of the Vibram Five Fingers are available at www.vibramfivefingers.com.
Nike Women’s Shox Turbo+ 8 $99.99 – Nike Shox have been out for quite some time. Each year Nike puts out a couple of new models, but for the most part the shoe stays they same. The Nike Shox are quite comfortable and in my opinion best for running or lifting weights. I personally wouldn’t recommend them if you plan on doing exercise that requires a lot of cutting and planting as you may turn your ankle while wearing them. These women’s exercise shoes are available at many retailers, but I found this model at Dick’s Sporting Goods. The Turbo+ 8’s come in silver and pink and can be purchased at www.dickssportinggoods.com.
Adidas Clima LS Fitness Shoe $74.99 – The Adidas Clima LS Fitness Shoe is designed to keep your feet cool and dry during workouts. This cross trainer features Clima Cool Technology and is quite comfortable. I owned a pair of Adidas’ earlier models and really liked them. I never had a problem with them and my feet were always cool and comfortable. The new model of women’s exercise shoes is available at www.dickssportinggoods.com and come in white and light blue. Sizes are limited to make your way over to Dick’s Sporting Goods as soon as possible if you want to get a pair of these shoes.
