The best part about buying 2 pairs of workout shoes every 4-6 months is knowing what to recommend when people ask you what workout shoes to buy. I try on all the brands, wear them to work, workout in them, and read all the literature and the reviews. I also talk to other trainers about their favorite shoes. Trainers are obsessed with workout shoes so they are more than happy to share stories and opinions and this helps a lot when finding great shoes for fat burning workouts. Check out my top five picks and find one that's perfect for you. And remember that ultimately the shoe needs to fit your specific foot type and your unique needs in order to boost performance. You can get fitted at most high end running stores and it's free with no obligation to buy so take advantage of this service.

Adidas Supernova Sequence
Great for running, high intensity training, and any activities that are demanding on the knees and feet. This shoe feels cushiony, springy, helps your foot function properly, and corrects any minor pronation. Not as awesome as my favorite the Asics gel kayano but more affordable for most people. I just replaced my asics 2080 with this shoe and I love it!

Saucony Triumph 5
Perfect for home workouts, cardio machines, running, and walking. This shoe is super comfortable with mesh uppers which are great for those with ultra hot/sweaty feet. A little bit on the wide side and very flexible so better for those with stable feet and no ankle problems.

Inov8 Flyrock 310
Awesome for light hiking, trail running, or outdoor fun. This shoe provides all the things you want when you're on varied terrain including stability, cushioning, grip, and moisture resistance. The perfect shoe for any dynamic outdoor activity. Allows your feet to flex, claw, roll and work the way they are meant to function. Not for people with major pronation issues.

Ryka Studio D
The ideal high impact activity shoe for kickboxing, aerobics classes and/or dance workouts. Feel great, absorb shock, and look cute. Popular with people who love Zumba and other high energy workouts.
