Thanks for all the inputs! Been doing my own research/Googling as well and it seems I might have to get at least 2 pairs of shoes. And seems like I'll have to do my cardio and weights on separate days instead of what I do now. Better start with the budgeting/saving then. haha.

I've been using a pair of New Balance minimalist trainers for a couple of years now and it's time I changed shoes. Looking for recommendations on a pair of shoes that I can use for both cardio and weight training. Not really keen on buying 2 pairs as it would be difficult to lug 2 pairs around. haha. I use cardio as a warm up (45 min - 1 hr of walking on a treadmill on incline) and the rest of my workout consists of weight training (squats, deadlifts, bench presses etc). Not looking to repurchase the NB minimalist trainers as I find that my left heel hurts after extended cardio sessions (when I decide to jog/run instead of walk). Thanks!

Hi everyone! I've always been overweight and got on and off the exercise bandwagon a couple of times the last few years. But I really got into weight-lifting about a year ago and also decided that I needed to take control of my fitness. I just started working a couple of months back and signed up for a gym membership near my workplace so that I can continue on this journey. Looking forward to learning from everyone!
