Pair 1 -- Walking the dog sneakers. It's safer to traipse through who-knows-what than my default footwear -- boots.
Pair 2 -- Distance sneakers. I'm training for a half marathon. These are the newest, least beat up sneaks, so that I can keep my aches and pains (and blisters) to a minimum.
Pair 3 -- Exercising indoors sneakers. I've got cream carpets, I can't exercise in the bedroom wearing the same sneakers I run down horse trails in.
Pair 4 -- Out and about sneakers. You know, the ones I can wear to the grocery store, etc.
I sometimes think I need sneakers (or their magical equivalent) for writing.
Pair 1 -- Writing funny, First Person Books (like CONFESSIONS OF A SLIGHTLY NEUROTIC HITWOMAN)
Pair 2 -- Writing dark and twisted books (like THE FIRST VICTIM)
Pair 3 -- What to wear when I'm trying to get the most from criticism, whether it's from my crit partners, my agent, my editor, a reviewer, or a fan.
Pair 4 -- Magical marketing shoes that make ALL the marketing stuff a snap.
Pair 5 -- Anti-procrastination shoes.....who doesn't need those?
Tell me Killer Friends: What kinds of sneaks do you wear? Which kind do you wish you had? (Personally I wish I had a pair that made cleaning the kitchen easier.....)

I have a pair for mowing the lawn, and one for everything else. When the 'everything' sneakers start to get gross, I shift them to the job of mowing and throw out the old pair of nasty green mowing sneakers. Sneaker usage is pretty simple here.
If wearing a pair of awesome shoes would help me write more often, I'd definitely buy a pair. And yeah, if there could be shoes that made housework more palatable, I could use those, too. ;o)
B.E. -- Mine all start out as running sneakers and then as they degrade, they get moved down to the other jobs, lol.
Maybe I need to add writing and household chores to the line-up!
I have a pair of Saucony cross trainers that I wear to the gym. They're very thin and lightweight, so I can feel the floor and keep my balance when I'm training with weights. I also have a pair of Nike Shox that I wear for steady state cardio. That's it! On a side note, I'm loving this new neon trend I'm seeing at the gym. A girl had a pair of neon pink Nikes that were so cute and fun.
I need ALL the sneakers LOL!
Jennifer -- My current running sneakers are grey and neon yellow....they're energizing!
Lindsay -- Don't we all ;-)
I have my good walking sneakers, my 2nd pair of walking sneakers that don't require socks, my funky plaid sneakers and my cute ballerina sneakers. I feel you can never have too many pairs, because each one serves a specific purpose. If only I could get my husband to understand that.
