Shoes for the gym?



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for new shoes for the gym, and thought I'd ask your opinion on your favorites?

Because I'm bigger and I'm a supinator (I roll out, not in), sometimes I have a hard time finding a shoe that's a good fit for me. I've been really happy with Brooks in the past, and I'm thinking I'll end up with them again.

But.. wanted to put it out there, and see if I've been missing out on some sort of miracle shoe!

I like reboks shoes as I have a hrd time myself fitting into shoes too. I usually get reboks. They have a deeper fit and my feet stay in my shoes.

In my opinion, Brooks is the BEST shoe out there for anyone who overly supinates OR pronates (dictates which style of course) and anyone who is heavier - and by that I'd include myself since at 154 lb and 5ft 10 for a runner, I qualify as "heavy". I'm no gazelle, at any rate!

I am on my fourth pair of Brookes Adrenalines (I'm a pronator) and although I try different shoes each time I buy, I always end up with them again. They're sturdy, quality shoes well designed for each foot problem.

Thanks for the rec. I went to the Brooks website and they have an interactive menu for picking out the best shoes for you and apparently, the adrenalines would suit me as well.

I don't think we have them here... I'm going to a clinic where I can get fitted with shoes. Dh will not be happy as I just bought a pair of Under Armour cross-trainers and they are very new. But my knees are killing me and I think it's the shoes.
