I've been wearing my usual sneakers to work out at the gym, and having problems with my ankles. I finally went to a running shoe store and they said that my shoes were awful for workouts and running. Oops!

Apparently I over pronate and also, my arches need support. The answer they said (with no conflict of interest at all whatsover) was to buy fancy new shoes, so I did in desperation... and wow, what a difference! I am hopeful that my ankles will feel better, and once they do I am going to start running again.

Do you wear your everyday sneakers when you work out?
