This is the perfect shoe if you’re most interested in support, and cushioning second. New Balance touts this as their all-around cross-training shoe, and this is the one I’ve used, and loved, for ages!

I love the commercials for this shoe! They’re designed to give you a firmer, tighter derriere and improved muscle tone in your hamstrings and calves, too. The uppers are leather and mesh for great support and breathability, and they’re also designed not to rub on your feet, so no blisters!

Don’t forget! It’s not just getting the trainer that looks the best, or matches your workout clothes. It’s about getting the best trainer for how you exercise, and one that fits the best! Which of these trainers do you like best, and why? Or is there another great trainer you use? Please let me know!
