Women's Athletic & Outdoor Shoe Categories @ Amazon.com

Once the choice of athletic shoes was simple: high-top or low-top, black or white. Since then an imposing variety of specialized footwear has been developed to improve performance, comfort and safety by better supporting and cushioning the foot. Any coach will tell you that good shoes are essential in any sport, but your own assesment of your particular needs will tell you if you need -- for example, a specifically designated lacrosse shoe, or if the wider selection of the more general turf shoes will provide a better "fit."

If you participate in a number of athletic activities without really specializing in one or two, you might be interested in a good cross-training shoe. While Amazon's categories are often helpful in narrowing your range of choices to a mangeable level, they are only as good as the methods used to assign products to those categories. In the case of some of the more specialized footwear especially, you may get better results searching for a particular brand or keyword in a broader category.
