The main element of any workout would have to be what’s on your feet. How your feet connects to the ground effects your knees, legs, ankles and your overall recovery. This is why finding the right shoe for your particular workout is key.

There are a variety of styles and shapes when it comes to fitness shoes. You will have to try them on, there’s just no way of getting around that if you want an accurate fit. Try the shoe on and jog in place or in a circle to get a feel for how your feet connect with the ground. Ask yourself these important questions: does it fit, are they comfortable and do my feet hurt after taking them off?

Because there are so many shoes out there we thought we’d just pick a couple that seem to appeal to a wide range of people (women in particular). After doing a little searching, we’ve found that these shoes were listed on multiple fitness sites for being some of the best shoes for women to workout in.
