What's your favorite shoe for HIIT & Plyo?
My running shoes just aren't cutting it and my feet (& joints from plyo moves!) are letting me know about it. My feet tend to prefer the 2013 version of Air Nike for running - and which I have found exactly 1 last pair of available in my size on Ebay! I've tried others that wound up being wasted purchases, but I don't like the look of current models and it's time for an upgrade anyway. I'm thinking cross-training shoes, but definitely need a wide, cushy toe-box and wonder if maybe it's all just marketing BS anyway...I just know I need to wear something with better shock absorption, especially for the poor balls of my feet that take such a beating. Recommendations please!

Thank you! I saw you post about them when I was searching similar threads! I'm checking them out on Amazon - good assortment of color options & the price is affordable too! I may need to try a pair on!

They are cross trainers. In other shoes I wear a 7 1/2, in the tubes I wear an 8.

Under Armour. They are very cushiony. I also use a pair of New Balance Cush. But I have converted to Under Armour in the past couple years.

My podiatrist recommended the brand Hoka One One after he diagnosed me with bone spurs. They are running shoes made with lots of padding and designed with a built-in rocker sole to minimize the bend/flex in the front of the foot when walking/running. As a result, they are extremely cushy when doing drills and plyo. My feet feel great when walking OR working out in my Hoka One Ones.
Only one style comes in a wide width but the shoes are made wide-ish as a rule. I need extra room because of my bone spurs and a Hoka One One in size 9M (my usual workout shoe size) fits fine. If you can, get fitted at a bricks-and-mortar store. My local running store had only two women's styles in stock, and one (the Clifton 3) felt right immediately on my feet; the other felt thick and clunky.

I always have the problem of shoes feeling comfy, until i really test them out. I always end up with blisters on the side of both big toes if i dance, or jump in shoes. No matter what brand i try. Ive tried different socks too. Its really annoying!
