Gear Review: Zoom Sister One+ by Nike
Earlier this Fall, I was invited to attend a Women's Media Summit at Nike HQ to learn about their new training shoe for women, the Zoom Sister One+ ($110). After treating all the attendees to a killer workout designed to show off the flexible features of the Sister One (I was sore for days), they sent me home with a pair of shoes to experiment with on my own. I've been wearing them for a few months now for my strength training sessions and when I use the elliptical.
When It Comes to Sneakers, Are You Loyal to One Brand?
I used to be a New Balance girl, but recently I tried shoes by Saucony and Nike and loved them too. I've come to realize that there are a ton of great brands out there, and I shouldn't limit myself to what one company has to offer. The best fit is what's most important to me.
Get in Gear: Nike Zoom Victory+
It seems that everyone has Olympic fever these days, and I am loving it because people are motivated to get moving more than ever.
What better motivation than a brand new pair of Olympic-inspired sneakers? This Nike Zoom Victory+ ($103) shoe is inspired by the 2008 Olympic track running spike, but it's made for running on any surface.
Sneakers, Feet, and Fitness
When you work out, I'm sure you're on your feet most of the time whether you're running, walking, hiking, biking, or using a machine. Without your sneaks, your feet wouldn't be able to work your body as hard as they do, so take this quiz to see if you know about these important tips.

Favorite Sneakers
Choosing a sneaker you run or exercise in is a big decision. If you find a brand that you like, and it fits well and prevents foot pain, it's a good idea to stick with it. On the other hand, if your sneakers are causing blisters or any other painful condition, you may want to think about switching to a different brand.
What Is Your Favorite Running Sneaker?
Most of us are pretty particular about our footwear and running sneakers are no exception. Some women are pretty particular about the brand of sneaker they wear when exercising. Whether you choose because of the style, fit, comfort, activity level, or price, nothing beats a great pairs of kicks.
Running Tip: How to Tie Your Shoes
How annoying is it to get going on a run, and you look down to see that your shoelace has spontaneously untied itself? You can't just ignore the flapping laces or else you might trip and really hurt yourself.
I learned this great sneaker tying trick from a fellow runner, and while to may seem a bit silly to review a skill most of us learned in Kindergarten, this technique was new to me.
If the Shoe Fits, Make Sure it Fits The Sport
Shopping for sneakers is never an easy situation. There are tons of shoes available (in all shapes and forms) and sneakers are one pair of shoes that you should not pick based on looks. Just because the shoe fits properly, does not always mean it's going to meet your needs.

The shoes you wear can really make or break your workout. To help prevent aches and pains, it is important that you wear the correct shoes for the activity you're going to be doing. So what if your exercise of choice is running on the treadmill?
