I wear running shoes for all workouts too. I tried cross trainers before and they killed my feet, might have been a poor choice of shoes for my feet but I think I'll stick with running shoes from here on out.

I use crosstrainers for workouts such as aerobics, step, kickbox and I use running shoes for running/walking or jogging. There are a lot more choices for crosstrainers now. I find it easiest just to go to my local DSW and try on a bunch. If you already know what brand you like, you might be able to find them at another store on clearance.
I would think that you could use running shoes for walking since its the same motion. |

Oh mine too! I need to go as light and flexible as possible and cross-trainers don't do it for me.

I wear running shoes...yes, they don't give lateral support but I have other foot issues that need a shoe that "breathes" and doesn't suffocate my foot. Chalene Johnson wears Nike Shox for all her Turbo Kick,Jam,Fire workouts. If anyone saw her Nike Shox collection in one Turbo Jam dvds, you would be shocked..literally..haha. There is alot of lateral movement in Turbo Fire. I used to teach Turbo Kick and found if you do kicking, the lighter the shoe, the better for your knees. That's why I choose the lightweight Nike running shoes or the less expensive, Saucony. Tracie Long wears Saucony for some of her workouts.
Also, I went to a sports doctor and she said to get running shoes. Those are the best. I like Ryka too but the highest they go is an 11... and I have a big ol' foot

Lately I find that the ball of my foot is sore after prolonged treadmill or floor exercise. I'm wondering if a running shoe would be better for this, as opposed to my walking shoe?
