Recommend your workout shoes.

[Jalapeñomel]

I do the elliptical and the treadmill, and although I am not a huge runner, I do occasionally decide that I need to take a jog (lol).

[emjacobs]

For running I wear last years version of these: store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/air-zoom-vomero-9-running-shoe/pid-1485129/pgid-1074981

I love them, like pink puffy heart love them.

For lifting / general working out (spin, classes, etc.) I wear these: www.footlocker.com/product/model:181333/sku:93846/reebok-realflex-fusion-trainer-womens/grey/light-blue/?cm=GLOBAL%20SEARCH%3A%20KEYWORD%20SEARCH#sku-98138

They are super light, fit close to my foot, and are very flexible. I almost feel like I'm not wearing shoes.

If you plan on working out regularly, I'd really recommend going to a running store to get fitted. Everyone's foot shape is different and you may need more or less support in different places than other people.

This.  If you aren't into going in, the shoe advisor on Brooks's site works well.  Brooks are my go-to for running.

Ditto the PPs, definitely go get fitted. Everyone's feet are so different and it won't really be helpful for people to recommend what they like.

I bought a pair of Asics Gel Exault a few months ago for jogging/walking/cardio. I love them. They are really supportive and comfortable. I got them on Amazon.

[schitzengiggles]

A specialty running store will have staff who can evaluate you so that you are sure to get something that works for you. Everyone has different arch, pronation (or not), need for support, etc.

Some common brands that people love include Brooks, Asics, Newtons, Saucony, Mizuno....I have only found a certain model of Asics and a certain model of Saucony to work for me. One of my close friends immediately feels pain in her knees when she tries any model of Asics though. So that is why you really should get fitted. And go for what works and is functional and comfortable, not for just what is cute (being cute is a bonus though lol)

Great thanks!

As much as I would like to go to a specialty shop, at this point in time, I just need something to get me through until I can make that trek.

For anything but running I like Ryka shoes. Great cross training/group fitness class shoes

For running I've tried a ton but ended up being fitted well in newtons

[megstoo]

I love my brooks but I get them from the running store. Everytime I go in I always get fitted for new shoes and it's always brooks. I also found that I needed to with a wide width and that made a difference.

I was fitted for the nikes at my LRS but I have a neutral foot (not sure if you know how your foot lands).

I have the Asics Gel Impression 3 and love them. I think they're an older style now, but I like their whole Gel line. To me they have great cushion and support, especially for the price.

I'm a big fan of Brooks and Saucony. I just got some new Brooks Ghost 7s that seem a little wider/have more lateral stability than a typical running shoe and I've been wearing them for some lifting/high impact aerobics, and I'm a fan so far.

[malibu]

I really like New Balance for more multi-use shoes, and Mizuno for running. But I cannot wear Nikes. They just are not made for my feet.
