Sole searching

They might be the strangest looking pair of trainers you\'ve ever laid your eyes on but Fivefingers trainers from shoe and walking boot experts Vibram are the latest must-have shoes for fitness and sports. Fivefingers have been designed to simulate walking barefoot but with a non-slip protective grip. The design helps to stimulate the muscles in the feet and lower legs to build strength and improve range of motion and the design can also help to improve damage caused from walking in heels or ill-fitting shoes all day. They\'re a great option for yoga lovers who aren\'t keen on going barefoot and will also fit in with your usual gym workout.

Falke sports pants

You might think that sports underwear is a waste of money but, as well as having the obvious benefit of being more comfortable than a sweaty, damp thong, specially-designed sports pants are far more hygienic than standard underwear as they are designed to wick away sweat and bacteria as you work out. This pair from Falke is both durable and comfortable and you won\'t have to suffer any embarrassing ride-ups mid-run.
