According to the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine (AAPSM), modern footwear is more versatile than ever before. Instead of “aerobic shoes” that are designed only for aerobic workouts, “training shoes” are the new industry standard for both aerobic workouts and general fitness training. The best shoes for aerobic workouts are lightweight, durable, breathable and provide a comfortable fit

Nike Air Trainer 1 Low SL Training Shoe

The Nike Air Trainer is a low-top training shoe crafted with a contoured shape without a lot of bulk. The all-white sole coloring option can be good for those working out in a gym or on a rubber service, because they do not make scuff marks. As noted by the AAPSM, shoes with a synthetic or mesh upper permit significant air flow, giving the foot inside additional air flow.

Adidas Optigon 2

A durable training shoe made using a mixture of synthetic mesh and leather is the Adidas Optigon 2. While the shoe features a leather upper, it has an array of air holes for some breathability. While the rubber bottom has some black and other coloring, it is made from non-marking rubber that should not stain surfaces.

New Balance WX710 for Women

Occasionally, women may opt for a men’s training shoe, which can turn out to be a perfect fit in some situations. However, most shoes designed specifically for women tend to fit them better because the shape of the shoe is made to fit most women's feet. To meet a wider variety of women’s comfort and fit needs, the New Balance WX710 cross-training shoe is available in both B and D widths. It is also light weight, featuring a synthetic upper like many of the men’s training shoe options.
