In an installment of "The Right Stuff" in 2025, "GMA" lifestyle contributor Lori Bergamotto teamed up with running expert and coach Elizabeth Corkum to help viewers shop the best running sneakers. The best running sneakers from their list include the Hoka Clifton 10s for new runners and joggers, Saucony Ride 18s for intermediate runners and Nike Vaporfly 4s for experienced runners.
When shopping for training and workout sneakers, we're eyeing all of the highest-rated styles from brands you can trust.
For example, Nike has an assortment of women's gym and training shoes, including the bestselling Nike Metcon 10s, which boast optimized stability, increased energy return, plus grip and durability, which together make them well-suited for heavy lifts and high-intensity workouts.
Adidas offers the award-winning Dropset 3 Training Shoes in multiple colors, which have technology to keep your feet cool, dry and comfortable. Wear them for strength training or cardio.
While shopping, filter your selections by the types of workouts you like to do to find the sneaker best suited for your routine.
Wearing sneakers doesn't mean sacrificing style. Shop on-trend animal print sneakers to add a pop to an everyday outfit, like Dolce Vita's Viper Sneakers in snake print. Slim sneakers and sneakerinas will continue to trend in the spring, and in many instances, you can style them as you would your favorite flats. Vogue points to bold and bright sneakers for spring, plus those with details like sequins and floral embroideries, among other trends.
Add a pair of white sneakers into your capsule wardrobe for year-round wear. Opt for a slimmer fit or a chunkier sneaker depending on your style and preference.
Keep in mind how you'll wear them most: Will these be your go-to walking shoes? If so, be sure to find a shoe with support and cushion. Will you wear them most days with straight-leg denim? A slimmer, retro-inspired sneaker should be on your radar. Classics like the Keds Champion sneakers have been in our closets for years, and we're not shying away from them anytime soon.
