Any recommendations on footwear for doing Insanity? I'm currently wearing "breathable" type cross trainers but my feet feel like they're not being supported as much as they should. Before I go shopping, I thought I'd get some advice from you folks who are doing it as well.

(I'm new to this so hopefully I'm posting this in the right place) :-)

Thanks!

    I tried wearing Nike Free shoes, but they were not good for me doing Insanity. I had foot pain and nightly foot cramps. I switched to my Brooks Glycerins and the pain and cramps went away.

    Thanks, that's good to know. I will try those out when I'm out looking for shoes. I have a super high arch so I was worried about the Vibrams that so many people claim to wear for Insanity. :-|

    I'm on week 4 of Insanity and have been doing it barefoot. My calves killed me the first week but I've had no other pain in my feet or anywhere else.

    Hey everyone. I have used all kinds of shoes for Insanity. I rotate between new balance 1157 cross trainers and vibram five finger komodo sports. I also wear a few pairs of inov-8 shoes as well. I find it helpful to have more than one pair of shoes so my feet don't break down my shoes too quickly. I have a more In depth review if anyone would find it helpful.
