You should definitely consider wearing the right kind of shoes for the type of exercise you are indulging in. Running shoes are designed to provide cushioning from the sudden jerks the joints face repeatedly as a result of repeated motion.

Training shoes on the other hand are designed to stabilize your body's centre of gravity so that your spine and legs are aligned while lifting weights. It is wrong to assume that one type of shoe will foster to every need. The wrong combination of shoe and physical activity can put sudden and extreme strain on your ankles and feet - the achilles tendon and the plantar fascia.

This in turn, could lead to achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. So, remember to consult a podiatrist first before making a selection.
