Fancy FOOTWORK

They say you can't improve on perfection, but Lululemon has done just that with the second iteration of its Chargefeel shoe. Following in the footsteps of the Canadian-American brand's other recently launched female-specific shoes for running, trail running and strength training, the first Chargefeel shoe was created for women who like to exercise in various ways, allowing them to run, jump, lift, skip, kick, HIIT and lunge without having to fork out on different types of workout-specific shoes.

I gave this highly versatile neutral running and training shoe full marks when I reviewed it last year, and I loved the fact that it was stylish enough to wear from the gym to the office. If I had one tiny complaint, it was that it wasn't the springiest of shoes on short runs, but that niggle has now been addressed with the Lululemon Chargefeel 2 Low Women's Workout Shoe (£128; lululemon.co.uk).
