High-top wedges have had their fashionable moment, but it looks like this trend has circled back to where it started: the world of athletics. Once your dance-cardio and gym buddies see you rocking one of these hip pairs, they'll be coveting retro kicks of their own!
Whenever I'm wearing my Reebok Dance Urlead Mids ($85), my feet turn heads. They're my go-to pair of shoes for any high-impact dance workout. If you're a fellow cardio dance enthusiast, read my full review on these sweet sneaks.
A tricked-out pair of the Ryka Downbeats ($80) are high-performance trainers that allow for plenty of breathability and air flow. The soles also provide minimal grip, making them ideal for studio workout classes. I could definitely see myself rocking these at hip-hop.
An old-school classic gets some feminine flair in these Adidas GLC Shoes ($80, originally $100). A molded foot strap helps stabilize your ankle to keep your feet safe when you're on the dance floor.
Most of the fitness high-tops out there are designed for dance and studio classes, but these Nike Free 2 Run SneakerBoots ($100, originally $125) are for ladies who want to hit the pavement and run! With a barefoot-like feel and a Winter-boot height, these sneakers are perfect for the season.
