Need Sneaker Trainer Rec for crosstraining

yahoo205 · 07-22-12, 08:52 PM

I would like to get something with a flat bottom, some cushioning, flexible, and lateral support.

i want to use it for weights, gym class (jumping, bodyweight conditioning), and maybe some running.

i guess maybe something for crossfit would be good (even though i don't crossfit).

I was looking at the Reebok Crossfit Flex Nano but they are sold out in the darker colors.

I love my nike free TR fit shoes. I haven't used it for running but use it for high impact aerobics and weight training. I also use nike half cushioned socks with these shoes to help with shock absorption.

i tried and liked the nike free TR fit 2, but they are almost (but not completely)
flat. they have the tiniest bit of extra sole at the heel.

i dp wamt a little bit of cushioning but i want it to be completely even.

are there any flexible trainers that have a thin/flat sole?

In another thread someone raved about their Reebok ZigTech shoes. I found a similar model LINKY at Sports Authority in the clearance section for $80, used the 25% off coupon from last Sunday's ad and got them for $60. Still high for my budget but so far they are about the most comfortable shoe I've worn. I don't run but the 'zig' is bouncy on the road and cushy on the elliptical.

ETA: the sole is not thin at all and these run small.
