]]>You don’t have to spend a fortune—cost isn’t necessarily indicative of quality when it comes to sneakers. If you’re a serious gym-goer, however, you may find it worth investing in a more expensive pair. Here are some of our favorite sneakers at every price point.
Athletic Propulsion Labs Techloom Breeze – $220
These would definitely fall under the category of “splurge,” but they’re as popular as they are among athletes and celebrities for good reason. They’re incredibly lightweight and comfortable, yet provide the perfect amount of support for walking, running, biking, and more. All Techloom shoes are unisex, so be sure to double-check sizes before you order.
On Cloud X – $140
Still a bit of a splurge, but slightly less pricey, On’s Cloud X shoe is great for any type of workout but especially comfortable and supportive for running. They provide a nice amount of traction and are also quite durable, so you shouldn’t need to replace them as often as other running shoes.
Skechers GOrun Razor 3 – $50
For under $100, you can’t go wrong with any of the sneakers in the Skechers Go Run line, but we especially love the Razor 3. They’re lightweight and comfortable enough to wear all day long and are available in several fun colors for both men’s and women’s styles.

]]>Rotate a Few Pairs
Get a few pairs of shoes so you can rotate between them. When the foam gets sweaty or compressed, it needs time to dry and bounce back. If you have a second pair, you can let them rest a day or two, which will allow them to last longer.
Protect Them From the Elements
Never leave your shoes out on the porch to dry, as they’ll end up getting damaged by the sun. Also, don’t leave a pair in your trunk because they temperatures can cause them to wear out. Obviously, don’t leave them out in the rain or snow either.
Never Put Them in the Dryer
You can put your shoes in the washing machine on a cold cycle, but don’t put them in the dryer because the heat will damage them.
Only Wear Them for Working Out
While you may be tempted to wear them to work or to run errands, wearing them outside the gym reduces their longevity. If you love your gym shoes that much, get a second pair for uses beyond exercising.

]]>Pretend It’s a Workout Day
When you try on your workout shoes, try to go about at the time of day that you plan on working out during. Since your feet swell during the day, if you buy your shoes in the morning but work out in the evening, they may not be the right fit. You’ll also want to wear the type of socks you plan to work out in.
Do the Wiggle Test
When you try on your shoes, wiggle your toes. There should be enough room for them to move, but you should still feel support from the front top of your shoe while you do so.
(@thafrenchiebros)Walk Around the Store
While you may not be able to do a full workout in the shoes you’re trying on to tell if they feel good, at the very least try walking and jogging around with them on. Do some heel raises and jumping jacks. If your shoes slip or pinch during these activities, they’re not the right size. And looking silly in the store is worth finding that out before you pay for them.
