Workout Shoes

[DSGB]

Just curious, what shoes do you wear when working out? Lately, my feet have been feeling jacked up after workouts. Specifically, when doing lower body (Squats, etc), the arches start to hurt a bit. I've switches shoes (running shoes, various 90s Air Max, basketball shoes, etc. I'm close to having a doc check my feet for damage.

I have Aasics running type shoes.

I need some better shoes for weights.

I have chucks and i hear flat shoes are good

any truth to this?

I've always heard it was better to do squats and stuff in flat shoes; running and basketball shoes aren't really good for keeping your feet flat and generating that push you need to get the weight up. It may not make a difference if you just starting with the bar or light weights on Starting Strength or Stronglifts, but when you get up around 300-400 lbs, all that weight coming is coming down on your arches, since those running and hoop sneakers are basically like lifting on pillows.

I got a flat sole pair of adidas strictly for lifting, and sometimes if I forget them I'll just lift in my socks.

squats and dl = chucks. shyt is cheap and the shoes are flat, helps keep your balance

everything else = running shoes i.e air maxes

running = asics nimbus

squats/deads = barefoot

everything else = no care

for weight lifting, flat shoes with incompressible soles are the only option(or simply barefoot)

 

[puppetmaster]

Chucks or Jordan 14's or 6's because they're flat and comfy ish



Or Nike Lunars for running
