At Women's Health, we see a LOT of sneakers. Our current obsession: Asics Gel-Fit Sanas. Not only are these trainers super cute and comfortable, but they're built to withstand even your most rigorous gym or HIIT workout. Here's the lowdown on everything we love about this hot pair of fit kicks:
THE PRINT
Bright colors and flowers can energize and inspire positive vibes—why just a glimpse of these Asics made with Liberty of London fabric makes burpees less joyless.

THE TONGUE
Because both the base and sides of the tongue are attached, the shoe fits snugly against the top of your foot, which prevents chafing... and the need to readjust in the middle of a workout. (The Slim, Sexy, Strong Workout DVD is the fast, flexible workout you've been waiting for!)

THE HEEL
More cushion for pushin'! The supportive padding at the heel, plus the crisscross weave at the back of the shoe help keep your foot stable, key for avoiding injury.

THE OUTSOLE
Nothing's gonna hold you down in HIIT: The superlight webbed gel that forms the outsole adapts to your foot's shape so the shoe doesn't feel like an extra appendage.
