8. They still make "training" shoes apparently

I remember in the 90s when "cross trainers" were all the rage, it seems they still make them and it sounds like you'd be good in them..

Or possibly (if $$ is really not an issue) multiple pairs of specific shoes - especially if the cardio is running for more than 15 minutes, a purpose-built shoe would be incredibly helpful.

If you can find any independent shoe stores in driving distance at all I'd definitely suggest checking them out first, though. I have the luxury of an accessible heavily-running-oriented indie sporting goods store that's done me a world of good; I get the issues with the big box stores though.
