Editors' Picks: Must-Have Fitness Gear For July

"I did what no runner should ever do — I ran a 10-mile training run in brand-new sneakers. But it was amazing, because I used these new Brooks Ghost 9 ($120-$130). The seamless fit was instantly comfortable and I had no blisters or weird aches whatsoever. They offered the support I needed after injuring my Achilles trying to run in a minimalist shoe two months ago — stupid me for straying from the Brooks brand I've always used and loved. If you're used to running in a Ghost 7 or 8, you're going to love this smooth, light ride. They come in four fun, bright colors." — JS
