I NEED new TF sneakers. Something that will work at home and also in Turbo Kick class. I am normally bare foot at home, but that is no longer an option as my once sprained foot needs more support. Id like to stay under $100. I tried on a pair of AWESOME Asics Nimbus 14 today , but alas they are 140. Nikes dont have enough support where I need it (tried on almost every single pair today at the store). Anyone have luck with these---->http://www.zappos.com/asics-gel-blur33-2-0-black-electric-blue-pink ?

Any suggestions?? I am so frustrated and threw a little 2 yo tantrum while trying to find something in the 10 stores I went to today.

    Ok, well with no responses I set out with much frustration (due to not finding what I needed until of course 10 stores later). I thought I should write my experiences and what I DID find.

    I tried on almost every crosstrainer the stores had. Seriousely. I also tried on some "running" shoes that have little traction that could double as a cross trainer. Not a fan . I tried Asics (because they were super comfy), but found them clunky and not much support for all the plyo moves. I almost settled on the Asics Gel Blue 33s though. That is until they didnt even have my size. It was a sign. So I kept searching. I then put on a pair of Brooks Pure Flows. They were very comfy! Super bouncy for all the plyo, and a great amount of support for all the twisting. I passed on them at that store because the clerk annoyed me. By the way, these stores were all "sports" Stores. Not a running or fitness store. I finally caved and drove down to the local running store. Why didnt I do that in the first place! They really knew their stuff! I explained to the sale guy what I do, how I am moving , and how I land. I even demonstrated some squat jumps and cross/uppercuts. Even got some jump high lows in there too. He immediately recommended Brooks Pure Cadence and Pure Flows. I put the pure cadence on and SO much better than the pure flows around my toes. They arent the prettiest things in the world, but feel awesome on my feet. Best part, is if they do not work out for me and I wind up not liking them during an awesome workout, I can return them for another shoe :)
