I am in the market. My old Reebok easy tones are just too heavy for what I have been doing. I am looking for a lightweight sneaker to use while working out (30 day shred, and eventually weight training and light cardio at the gym - not running). Ideally, under $60 and either run big or come in size 11.5 or 12.
Do you have a favorite?

I have the older version of these that i got about a year and a half ago. They are very light and they're the first sneaker i have ever had that didnt make my feet feel clausterphobic. I wear them for running, but also for cross training (shred videos, walking with the stroller, the elliptical, etc.)
I found them by going to a athletic shoe store to be fitted. I would highly recommend finding a store like that, because they will look at your stride and foot and help ypu fond the best shoe for you!

I love Nike Free. I've been wearing them forever and love them because of how lightweight they are.
I also have a pair of New Balance Minimus sneakers that are a NB/Vibram collab, that are super lightweight (better for walking though).

Love my nike frees... Super super comfy.
The only thing that sucks about them is rocks/gravel gets stuck in the soles easily but if they are mainly going to be an indoor shoe that wouldn't be an issue !

My under armours are super light, I will do 30 day shred in them, but would never dare run in them!

I have Crossfit sprints that I've come to really love, and I paid $50 for them. Check out the reebok outlet store. You definitely want a flatter style shoe for what you'll be doing.

@blackbird: we have a Reebok outlet fairly close, I will check it out this week!
Thanks for all the suggestions! Sneaker shopping is in my immediate future.

I love the saucony bullet. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. And so good looking, especially the suede version.
When I'm just doing weight training, I often wear a comfy pair of canvas shoes.

I have some cheap sketchers light weight sneakers that I bought at DSW with a coupon and they are SO light weight and comfy. http://www.dsw.com/shoe/skechers+gowalk+2+dynamic+walking+shoe+-+womens?prodId=287469&brand=300222&activeCats=women,300222&isBrand=y&categoryName=women
