Does anyone have a suggestion for a good cross trainer? I've had New Balance in the past, but I'm willing to try something else. I need something with decent support. I'm too heavy, had my knee scoped ~6months ago and am doing P90X. Thanks everyone!

    You should really go to the store and let them look at your feet. Check your instep and then they can make the best suggestions.

    I recently bought the gel os trainer by Asics which I love because they are super light and all around a great shoe. For support though I much prefer the Saucony shoes. Do you have a running store near you like 3sports or we actually have one called the running store. They have experts there who can take a look at how you walk or run to see if you over or under pronate or if you are neutral and choose a shoe that provides extra support if needed based on your style. Don't worry that they are called running stores they will have cross trainers too.

    In my opinion you should try to go barefoot. I practiced martial arts (judo) for years barefoot and never had ankle or knee issues. I started running and found that my knees and ankles were bothering me so i recently ditched the running shoes (fitted by a running store) and am running (treadmill) barefoot or in socks. Since going without shoes i have had no ankle or knee issues running. Might be worth a try and it will cost you nothing. Good luck
