Athletic shoes may be the one shoe that everyone has a pair of, but they are also one of the hardest shoes to buy. From all of the colors and styles and cushioning, it’s hard to know where to start. One thing is for sure — an athletic shoe needs to serve its purpose for your workout and must look good to wear around after you’re done. Lucky for Sarasota, there are a few places that carry a large selection of top brands and styles to suite anyone’s needs. We stopped in some stores to see what’s popular now in the world of athletic shoes.
