Shoes???

unknownndoll

any suggestions for shoes that work for Plyo moves and Kickboxing? My ankles are starting to hurt from exercising barefoot!! Like Jillian Michaels Body Revolution/ TurboFire/ HIIT/Insanity/ ETC!! Thanks!!

Truly, it depends on your feet and ankles. Whether or not you have a normal gait, over-pronate, under-pronate, etc. I would recommend getting into a store that specializes in shoes (runners roost, the good feet store) and have a gait test done to determine the best shoe for you.

I am partial to a rigid shoe, usually Sauconys or Asics.

Please be careful exercising barefoot, I developed tendonitis in my ankle in Oct 2011 and still have to wear a brace when I workout, and do a lot of walking ect. I bought a nice set of Nike running/workout shoes from Dillards. They done the job just fine. But Ive heard other say they had to go to the podiatrist to get fitted for shoes.

Thanks for the replies.

adrenalinejun - unfortunately I looked and we don't have either of those stores in Utah.

DIYmomma- OH, I didn't know you could get that, or that it would be much of a problem working out barefoot. I will def. be stopping to check out shoes after work tonight.

I was doing workouts like that with no shoes on and after 3 days when my ankles were killing me I realized everyone in my videos had shoes on! I just wear my regular nike running shoes. They're old but no more ankle pain!
