Does anyone have recommendations for a large exercise / jump mat that can be used with shoes?

I am looking for something like this, only... not $120!!

Has anyone ever used this? http://www.walmart.com/ip/CAP-Antimicrobial-EVA-Foam-Exercise-Mat/38230651

I just saw the black one at a local store, but I prefer the blue. I'd pay three extra dollars for that.

@shilpa Have you looked at those foamy type mates they use in martial arts? You can get ones that look like jigsaw pieces so you can push together however many you need.

I don't know how expensive they are but i think they might be a good option.

@olaitan I have seen the jigsaw type mats, but I wonder how annoying it would be to have to assemble and disassemble each time. (I would be doing this in my living room.)

@shilpa They're pretty good! They attach quickly and are easily stashed away in a closet. I got a 4 pack of the foam puzzle pieces that make a 4x4' square for about $10 from Walmart. They've held up pretty well to HIIT with shoes on.

@shilpa $40-50 for something called a horse mat or cow mat at a farm supply store would probably work just as well.
