The next time you are out sweating it playing your favorite game, observe your movements acutely. Certain sports played on hard courts like tennis, badminton or squash would require a shoe with greater lateral support. Since these sports involve abrupt deceleration and lunging these shoes will have a tougher front exterior and good traction on court.
If your preferred workout is at the gym, cross trainers might best fit your bill. Cross trainers offer great arch support with a good degree of cushioning. This shoe is meant to adapt to multiple forms of workout: be it aerobics, treadmill-running or weight training.
Says Abhijit Dutta, 24, Manager, Corporate Relations P&G; "I had purchased these light-weight flexible running shoes for my daily run. I used to run on a dirt track in a nearby park. My job had me relocate to another city where my only option was running in a nearby lane. My shoes that were perfect for the dirt track just did not provide enough support on such a surface. I had to opt for shoes with firmer support to cushion the impact."
