feet and can tell you what ones are best. Make sure and check their closeout/sale table as sometimes you can find last yr's model there which is practically the same but cheaper.

They have a wide base and different types of support depending on number and what you need. Looking at the bottom, I felt like they were little kids tennies, but the wide base was great.

I got a case of plantar fasciitis trying to exercise barefoot and they were wonderful. Much better than any trainer I've had.

My kid got shin splints yrs ago and our local store had Saucony which are also very good. Again they are lightweight but very good at what they do which is help heal and not hurt.

Best pair of shoes I've ever owned and lasted the longest. The wide base gives me more stability when I exercise. I think buying them at a New Balance store made a big difference too.

I have wide feet and New Balance is the only running shoe I wear. The fit is perfect and if you watch the sales you can usually get them for +/- $40.

I was at the mall the other day and found New Balance on sale for $38. I bought 2 pairs.

It was the best thing I ever did. My husband and I both went and we haven't looked back (well I have due to an old injury) but I walk and train in my running shoes. They are the best shoes I have ever gotten. They will set you back $100 or so but I don't think you will regret it. Best wishes with this, no matter what you decide about shoes.

they did fit me a couple years ago.

i ended up with some asics gel running shoes. not as much outside lateral support i craved, but better than my worn out nike trainers.....

Mazuno is my favorite but they stopped making my style so I went to amazon and found them. Have fun with whatever you decide to do.

I just had my gait analyzed by a doctor (he's a physical therapist and chiropractor). It cost about $80 - but it was well worth it. I got completely different results than I did at a running store where the analysis was done on cheap equipment by a salesperson in about 5 minutes.

Aerobic exercises involve various movements such as twirling, twisting and also side movements. For aerobic exercise footwear, you should find shoes that has sufficient padding to absorb pressure as well as proper arch design that can help the feet neutralize various movements.

I remember in the 90s when "cross trainers" were all the rage, it seems they still make them and it sounds like you'd be good in them..

Or possibly (if $$ is really not an issue) multiple pairs of specific shoes - especially if the cardio is running for more than 15 minutes, a purpose-built shoe would be incredibly helpful.

If you can find any independent shoe stores in driving distance at all I'd definitely suggest checking them out first, though. I have the luxury of an accessible heavily-running-oriented indie sporting goods store that's done me a world of good; I get the issues with the big box stores though.
