    It all depends on your feet (everyone is different) and what you will be mostly doing at the gym. If you'll be doing a mixture of activities, then you'll just want some all-rounder trainers/sneakers that are comfortable and supportive - decide your budget and try a few pairs to see what suits you.

    If you'll be doing a lot of running then it would be advisable to have a gait assessment at a running store. They will then recommend you shoes based on your feet and running gait.

    second this. Find a running store and talk to their running specialist. They will fit you in the best shoes for your gait.
