I'm looking for a type of workout shoe, one that can do step aerobics, tae bo and aerobics. I'm getting confused with all the different types of shoes listed. I see 'High Performance' and then I see the tried and true 'Cross-Trainer" types listed. Such as listed at Kohl's the Athletic shoe options are Running, Trail, Cross-Training, High-Performance, Hiking & Walking and Sandals. What workout exactly are High Performance shoes for?

About fifty buck$,,,,, Bada Bing! :-)

A High performance shoe is a high performance running shoe. Usually designed for distance running. The Cross-Trainer id a shoe designed for multiple activities, Gym, run, lifting, an all around sports shoe.

Do not put much faith in the names my friend. It is marketing to the max. Instead rely on the fit and comfort test. Especially in the firmness, and padding, of the arch area and the forefoot. In the routines you mention those will be the points of most contact,

Answer
Generally, running and jogging shoes are built for forward motionâthat is, theyâre good for heel strike to toe-off. They have an emphasis on thicker heels and mid soles with more flexibility in the toe area, and have thicker overall cushioning that allows for shock absorption during impact. This helps transfer energy from legs to feet and into the ground as runners move along. The soles of running shoes are curved so that the front tip of the shoe is arched upward and has distinct treadsâboth of which also aid in the forward running motion.

Training exercises take advantage of repeated movements to condition specific parts of the body. This could mean anything from lateral moves in an aerobics class to the high impact of kickboxing to the repeated motion of weight lifting. Training shoes are designed with this variety of uses in mind. They feature characteristics like flexibility in the forefront of the shoe to allow for more agility and added support on the sides to aid in lateral movement, with added cushioning placed in key areas of the shoe for shock absorption. This combination of support, flexibility and cushioning allow athletes to easily move from weight lifting exercises like squats along to more flexible movements like lunges, while accommodating linear movements for warm-up such as a brief walk or light jog. The soles of training shoes usually have a very supportive heel and slight treads since theyâre not intended for running on the road.

High Performance are either running or cross training shoes with more padding and things in the shoe so it will be more comfortable. I think if you are doing so much you should decide based on the descriptions I sent you and hope this is helpful. If you do more running I would get running shoes, but if you do more aerobics I would choose cross training shoes.
