I was wondering what are some of your favorite work out shoes that help with impact during HIIT. I have been wearing ECCO's, which I like for running but not totally for Hiit and other aerobic activities. I know CAth mentioned Ryka...does anyone remember which style?
 
Cathe used Ryka Transitions & Ryka Synergy in the newest workouts. She's also used Ryka Assist & Ryka Intensity. I tried a variety of workout shoes from Zappo's (love their free shipping!). I ended up getting Asics Gel Upshots. They seem to have a bit more cushion, which I need.
 
I bought the Ryka Assist 2 shoes used in Cathe's Intensity DVD. Although they fit well and required no break-in period, I cannot recommend them for high-impact activity because I don't think they provide much cushioning.
 
My podiatrist recommends Asics or New Balance. Personally I've always gone with Asics--never found a pair of NBs I really like. And I've found the cheaper Asics to be much more comfortable than the expensive ones. Go figure.
