    Yes,

    Get a pair of cross training shoes for P90X. I would not recommend using running/walking shoes for these types of programs. There are a lot of lateral movements involved in P90X (Plyometrics & Cardio portion) and you can easily hurt your ankle or foot if you don't have the correct support on your feet.

    Hope this helps!

    Cross trainers or athletic shoes. Tony Horton specifically says no running shoes

    I don't run in Vibram Five Fingers, but they work great for P90X
