While we could talk about our favorite running shoes all day, there's an entire world of fitness out there that also requires some decent footwear. So where do you start? Whether you're lifting weights, trying a new studio cardio class, or doing some at-home plyometrics, proper footwear is essential to keep you supported, protected, and feeling good.

Running shoes are built for moving forward, but gym-specific trainers are created with lateral movement in mind, allowing you to move in all directions. This will give you the flexibility you need to get after the dynamic movement of any training style, with 360 degrees of motion. Here are some of our favorite styles, from $33 bargains to $150 cream-of-the-crop picks.
