(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best cross training shoes for women

I swear by Ryka- it's the only shoe I've worn for class for years. Right now I have the Ryka Dynamic 2. Reasonable price for a shoe that lasts me a pretty long time (doing 3-4 classes a week).

Yup yup, just take it slow and listen to your body. If you get into it then one you know you're going to continue then I recommend getting some squat shoes. I think it might be helpful to get a foam roller right off the bat for dem horrible newbie DOMS, but other than that you shouldn't need anything really to get started.

That was always weird to me, because she could just go on Amazon and buy New Balance shoes that are 5.5 EEEE.

Or is she trying to say that the newer 5.5 EEEE are too narrow for her? If so, why not go to a 6 EEEE or even 6.5 EEEE?

Or maybe her feet are fat shaming her? I know when I went from 425 pounds to about 260 pounds, my shoe size dropped from a 14 EE to 14 D.

Skinners are by far the thinnest on the market I know of. They're basically socks and are much thinner than Vibrams. The only problem is they make all my other barefoot shoes feel like clogs.

So I'm looking for a versatile shoe for lifting and other exercises. I've been using my old converse so far, but they're really dingy and since I've had them since middle school, they just don't feel like exercise shoes. Thoughts on either of these?

I bench in these, but anything would work.

Squat in high top Chuck Taylors. Getting these for my birthday in July and I'm so excited. I love loud and obnoxious lifting shoes.

Deadlift in wrestling shoes. Like I said...I just LOVE me some loud shoes :)

I tried using these for squats but I already have a tendency to fall forward and it really screwed me up. I also tried these but hated them personally. They just weren't comfortable. I know LOTS of people who lift in them though.

1. New running shoes!
   
   
2. I have a couple 5K's coming up, and I've been using the same shoes for 5 years now. I think it's time to lay them to rest :( They've a couple holes in one shoe, and it's been raining so much here lately that my socks are getting wet from it.

I switched to New Balance 626 (non-slip) after a horrible and painful ordeal with Shoes for Crews. I also have tailor's bunions and they were killing me. I found out that I actually have "wide" feet and luckily the NBs came in wide. I got them on Amazon for about $60.

Any advice for removing an awful, awful smell from sneakers? I've had these for about a year, and I've tried every trick and every product and there's still a residual smell that won't come out. I've scrubbed them with vinegar and baking soda, used 3 different products made for removing smells from sneakers, aired them out for days outside in the sun, put them in the freezer for several days, and they still stink. Never had this issue before and I'm stumped at this point. My last resort is putting them through the washer, which I think might ruin them, but at this point they are kind of ruined for me anyway.
