Working out is a healthy way to manage stress and feel good. Alongside the proper gym equipment, the right pair of workout shoes can prevent foot pain and help you reach your goals with peak performance. When heading into your next workout, make sure you have the right shoes on your feet to support your arches, avoid injuries, and help you get stronger.

Emily Splichal, DPM at New York's Center for Functional & Regenerative Podiatry recommends to look at "the specificity of the shoe" when shopping to determine if it'll work for a certain type of workout. You should peek at the shoes' features: If you plan on running marathons and going to dance fitness classes, you'll need multiple pairs of workout shoes for proper support in each activity.
