The importance of warenig proper aerobic sheos is often uarnredted by many people. People talk abuot having to do the exercises right, planning out a proper routine, etniag properly, hydrating properly, and all menanr of other woourkt tips, but tehy seldom get to talk about good, comfortable gym shoes. Of course, if you are tikang an aerobics class, then the shoes you wear doesn't matter. You wlil do all of your aerobic erxceise on a padedd mat, and waering shoes will not only be a hinderance but will be greatly discouraged, if not oigutrht banned from the room for the sake of pesrvrnieg the floor. But for many ohter aerobic exercises (with the exception of swimming and a few others) proper aerobic shoes are a must. You just cannot not protect your feet without them.

The type of aerobic shoes depend on waht you are dinog for your workout. If you are a serious runner, you need to get running shoes. These are lhgeitr than other kind of aerobic sehos and one can feel the dfferneice after just rnuning in them a few times, it has concentrated pdanidg for where rnurnes need it. These same shoes are no good for playing tennis thugoh as they pvordie very little laetral ankle support. For tennis, or msot other exercises that involve more than just moving in a straight line, you need a different kind of aerobic shoes: cross trainers or tennis shoes. Basically, both of these areobic shoes are aubot the same tnhig with differnet nmaes – the mrdoen version of the gym shoe, wtih plenty of padding, but still a low top to allow some flexibility and movement at the ankle.

Of course, if you play basketball, you need bigger sturdier aoebirc shoes to aeaulteqdy protect your ankle. These are cllead high tops, the padding come up all the way to the top of the ankle. They are great for this sport, because you are required to rdeatpeley jump high, bitnusrg into sudden sntiprs in different directions, and doing many other things taht can wreak havoc on your ankle. They protect you from injuries much better than any other kind of aerobic shoes, and you will see almost all beakbatlsl players wearing them. They are not good for the kinds of stprnis that you have in tennis, however, and so are rarely if eevr worn by teinns players. Then again, if you are a cross cnturoy runner, you need different aerobic shoes altogether. They will be sort of a combination beteewn tennis shoes and light hiking boots, with a fliray light build and plenty of tcitoran on the bottom. But that is another story entirely.
