Best Training Shoes: Ryka Transpire
Ideal for: multitasking

This “go-to gym shoe” has ample cushioning that runs the length of the midsole to prevent foot fatigue on cardio machines, plus deep grooves in the outsole to improve flexibility. “i could shimmy like a pro in my dance class,” said one tester. Thanks to a breezy upper, your foot “stays cool no matter how much you sweat,” and the roomy toe box lets your little piggies spread out. ($70; ryka.com)
