Your gym shoes don't have to be ugly

Here's a bit of shoe advice for the athletic fashionista: your gym shoes don't have to be ugly. Seriously! They don't—in fact, they shouldn't be.

There's a common misconception that solid colored Reebok "old school" sneakers are acceptable for wearing in the gym. Contrary to popular belief people do pay attention to what your wearing in the gym, especially if you have any intention of turning heads. However, if you're more interested in not being noticed and prefer rocking a polyester jumpsuit laced up with a pair of black high tops, then more power to you.

If you're not one for wearing Mom's—or even worse, Grandmom's—shoes to the gym or while jogging in the park, we have some suggestions for you. Try one of these, or if you have a better woman's gym shoe suggestion drop us a line.
