I have been searching for a pair of good cross training shoes for more than a year.  I have to say that these are the best for me so far.

I've been working out at home for nearly two years now.  I have been loving not worrying about what to wear to the gym;  how crowded it will be at my preferred time to workout; is it wet or too cold outside.  The only downfall to home workouts is finding  shoes that meet my physical needs and don't damage my shiny hardwood floors.

My first pair of cross trainers were the original Nike Free TR Fit.  They were light weight, roomy and had superb arch support.  I thought they were perfect until I stepped up my workout intensity.  Then I realized that the TR Fit didn't have the lateral support needed.  I continued to use them while I searched for a suitable replacement.  This long journey eventually lead me here to the Men's Skechers Go Train.  I will review the Women's version separately.

What I like about the Men's Skechers Go Train:
They are light weight, roomy and very attractive.  They run true to size or maybe 1/2 larger than normal.  That is to say, if you wear cushioned socks, your true size should fit.  If you don't wear socks, you may want to try 1/2 size smaller than you would usually buy.

The outsole is a non-marking, soft and dimpled rubber.  It provides sufficient traction and lateral stability.  I can't speak to how they handle wet or highly abrasive surfaces.

What I don't like about the Men's Skechers Go Train:
The arch support is insufficient for high intensity workouts.  The insoles are not removable.  When I did my basic or beginner's workout, Biggest Loser Power Walk (BLPW) - walk #1, I did not have any problems.  When I did BLPW #3 - which includes jumping jacks, jogging in place and speed skates - I had shooting pains under my right foot which is slightly flatter than the left.

I added a pair of Tacco Anatomic Foot Supports and all is well.

I like these cross trainers so much that I ordered a second pair to wear outside of the house.  It was the holiday season.  I didn't know if they would arrive before I left for vacation, so had them shipped to my mother's house.  When I arrived, my mother was wearing my shoes and didn't want to take them off.  A few days later I showed her the ones I brought with me.  She called the black and yellow ones - ugly.  Yet she wore them all day long...hmmm...crafty!  I've since ordered four more pairs, as gifts.  Everyone loves them.
