Hi all. I've been a gym rat for a couple of months now. I was just wondering what type of sneakers you guys wear? Mine's really old and I want to get a good pair. Let me know.

Thank you!

hi! definitely don't procrastinate - wearing old shoes will lead to injury!


what kind of shoe you get depends in part on what you are doing at the gym - make sure you get something that is appropriate for your activity (i.e. running shoes for running)


as far as brand, i think that varies from person to person, but you will generally want to stick with the brand names (like adidas, ryka, new balance, etc.) and not go for the discount brands. expect to pay like $70 - $100 full price for a decent pair of shoes, or like $50-$80 for the same shoes at a discount store like DSW shoe warehouse.


i usually wear new balance for both crosstrainers and running shoes
