Ok, so really. I needed a new pair of everyday, around the gym & at Jazzercise, general sneakers. I wear this kind of shoe daily, so they get worn out pretty quick. I don't like to spend a huge amount of money on them, think $40-ish. And I don't mind wearing last year, or even the year before's, color. Normally I hit up a local Marshall's for a pair, but the past several times that I have been in the store I haven't found any. So Amazon was the next place to look.
I cruised around and found a couple pair. These Nike Flex Trainers, and a pair of Asic's. I'll do another post on those.
Just look at these beauties though. So pretty. And after a quick walk around the house, I've discovered they are so light!
Ahh - new shoes! #shoeporn
In case you want to try them too, here is the shoe info
The soles - all clean and new
The tops. Love the pink!
Just look at them!
After giving them a go the past couple of days, I've decided that these shoes are great for walking around in, but they are not what I was looking for. I did a 2.5 mile indoor walk in them, and felt fine. I did a Boot Camp class in them, which included about 2 miles of running, and they were good. I did a Jazzercise class in them, and they certainly don't have enough support to dance in for an hour. I think they are more like walking or errands-around-town shoes. The other thing is that when I wear them, the sides of the shoes bunch up a little, and I look like I have fat feet. I don't have fat feet, and the bunch up bothers me.
Overall, I don't think I could suggest you run out and buy a pair of these. The pink is great, but I don't feel like these are supportive enough for a lot of heavy duty fitness.
I'll be reviewing the pair of Asics I also purchased in a day or two so watch for that.
