Do You Really Need Different Sneakers?

I don’t know about you, but I remember a time when you had one pair of sneakers for everything.  Whether you ran, played sports or rode a bike, you used the same pair of sneakers.

I don’t remember when things changed. But since I’ve been getting into running and spinning, I was recently told that the sneakers I had been wearing were not appropriate.  So, I decided to buy a pair of running shoes.

And boy, did they make a difference.  Before the “running shoes,” I ran a mile straight without a break before the back of my legs cramped up.  After the “running shoes,” I was able to go much further!

A friend told me that I should also buy spin shoes if I really enjoy spinning.  I really couldn’t see how they would make a difference but I decided to take him up on it and buy a pair of good shoes.

Today, I used the spin shoes and WOW.  They really worked.  It was so much easier to pedal.  I was able to go the distance without my knees cramping and I felt really good.  I guess good shoes for each sport is a necessity…

Love to hear your experiences…
