Best Training Shoes: Asics Gel-Blur 33TR
Ideal for: high-impact activities

gel-filled cushions under the heel “soften the blow” of landings, while a foam insert at the arch keeps the foot “secure and supported.” On hardwood studio floors, the outsole’s herringbone pattern provides a reliable grip. Want to hit the court? This shoe has extra stability at the sides, which makes it ideal for the lateral movements of racquetball and basketball. ($85; asicsamerica.com)
