Today I did raised leg lunges for the first time -- and realized that my five-year-old running shoes aren't going to do it anymore. I need something that is going to lend me a bit more stability. I was seriously fighting my SHOE to keep my balance while lunging -- and that's just not right!

The thing, though, is that I'm not sure what sort of shoe I should be looking for. Chances are that until the weather gets bad, I'll be speed-walking in them to the gym, wearing them while lifting, and then on the elliptical for 20 minutes. Not a tall order, I guess... but probably I don't want a shoe meant for running. Anyone have any advice? What shoe do YOU ladies wear when heading to pump some iron and do some minor cardio?
