Gym shoes are sports shoes having soft rubber soles. Gym shoes are often made of leather, canvas or nylon and feature performance benefits for protection of the feet and ankles during a work out. Gym shoes may also be called sneakers, or cross training shoes.
About TPU:

I had previously ran in 580's- could not buy them any more. I am 200lb runner an bought pair of 587's on 09-3-12- On a run yesterday the rubber sole on heel came off shoe. I contacted New Balance and they are sending me another pair. I am blown away by poor quality of this shoe. I am glad it did not happen in the half marathon in 3wks. Will try out other brands after race. I would have expected more from for a shoe made for a heavier runner!
