What kind of athletic shoes work best in the gym? I am looking for an athletic shoe that you WON'T slip in the gym (like the basketball court in the gym at school). I have an ASICS running shoes, that makes me slip, i want shoes that have grip like Basketball shoes. but i'm not looking for basketball shoes, because I play Badminton, and I need shoes that are not high top(like basketball) and Lightweighted. Does cross training shoes work in the gym??? I know, i should just get badminton shoes, but i am trying to save some money. Thanks. solerole, i couldn't find much on that, so i couldn't find the type of shoes i was looking for. And I do not want basketball shoe looks, and they wouldn't be appropriate for badminton... BUT THANKS ANYWAY :]
