Workout Shoe Suggestions

Have you ever worn New Balance?? I cant give you are certain number...but NB in general are great workout shoes...mainly running...But I wear them for all of my work outs and the classes I do incorporate that vigious style like you are asking about...my feet are very well supported..

I concur. Go to a good athletic shoe shop. Some running shoe stores carry only running shoes, so they won't make the cross trainers recommended for Insanity. Cross trainers offer more lateral support than running shoes do. A good fitter will watch you walk and move to see if you have any gait or stability concerns. You may pay more initially, but your knees will thank you. After you know what brands work for you, you can shop for bargains.

I LOVE asics; they are very supporting for me and are durable

Something I just found

NIke Free Run 2.0... amazing, comfortable shoe!

Have you considered barefoot? I have a lot of foot issued and my podiatrist suggested working out barefoot when in my own home. It is great, no issues and no incorrect support. The feet are naturally designed to support your body!

I could never find shoes that worked right for me, I always thought I needed more support. One day I bought a pair of Vibram Five Fingers and I couldn't believe the difference barefoot made for me. I had never been able to run, because my legs always hurt. The first day I ran in my Vibrams I ran over a mile. I had heel spurs and plantar fachitis, and now I have neither. I have since switched to Merrell Trail Gloves, same sole as the five fingers, but they look like normal shoes.

ryka ortholite shoes are awesome! They are pretty cheap, but they are really light, and the most comfortable shoes I've ever exercised in. They have tons of them on amazon.com. They are aerobic shoes, so probably just what you need.

Ryka makes shoes exclusively for women and they have many options that a specific for the types of workouts you have mentioned. They are not overly expensive but they are hard to find in regular stores. You may have to order a couple different ones online and return those that don't work. I love mine for the dvd's I do at home.

I run exclusively in Saucony now. I used to wear Brooks when I was heavier and bought cross-trainers. After a visit to Road Runner and trying Ascis, Brooks, NB, Nike and Saucony I've moved to Saucony. I have 3 pairs for 3 different running/workout situations. I bought all of them 1/2 price(purchased a retiring model when the new one came out. Watch for the new releases as the older models tend to go on closeout at the same time. Great way to get good deals)

I swear by Ryka. They specialize in women's sneakers. I had a lot of feet issues and they work best for me.

This. Unless I'm running outside, I do barefoot.

^ Yeah I'm with them. I have Nike+ shoes for running but for Insanity they weren't cutting it. So I bought another pair of Nike shoes that were more of a cross trainer and not made just for running... didn't help. I also tried KSwiss Tubes... still didn't help. So I do Insanity bare foot and NO problems what-so-ever!!! (I can wear shoes for other DVD's I do (Jillian Michaels) but not Insanity... I think it's all the jumping and whatnot?) Anyways someone said Merrell Trail Gloves/Five Fingers. These really intrigue me... I wonder if they would work for me too. Not sure I wanna drop another 100 bucks on shoes that may not help though but maybe I'll ask for them for my birthday!

FILA makes some similar to the Vibram Five Fingers and they are a little less expensive. I haven't tried them but they look nice and seem a little easier as the last two toes are not as separated and difficult to get into their space. My friend really likes hers.
