    What type of shoes do you wear?

    hey guys,

    So what kind of shoes do you guys go with.

    When I lift I usually just use me some standard Nike's or anything. I see a lot of guys in puma's or flatter shoes. Or even in old wrastlin shoes.

    Think there is any benefit? I think I prefer the extra padding.

    I wear some asics wrestling shoes when I lift. I feel more connected to the ground for squats and whatnot.

    u really shouldn't lift in padded shoes. less cushioning the better

    sauconys. I like them because theyre light and perfect for running cause I do pwo cardio. I think bringing 2 sets of gym shoes to the gym would be pointless and $$$

    I wear adidas running shoes with those 50 dollar dr. Scholls inserts that are specifically engineered for your feet. I wear running shoes because I run after just about every workout.

    for days when i squat or deadlift i use any flat shoe. converse or kswiss...as long as theyre flat and not running shoes.

    Yeah I was thinking of trying a flatter shoe for leg days, and just regular shoes for the rest of it.

    How are those Nike Free's Diablo? Maybe i'll try a pair of those.

    Hey NC, they are very comfy, and ur whole foot is flat on the ground, it doesnt have a heel, so i enjoy them, they arent made for running really, but light as a feather. I enjoy them.

    I wear my day to day shoe, a worn out old asics running shoe. In the summer time I wore sandals a few times. IMHO shoe choice is a bit obsessive.

    thenextcutler - not sure how its obsessive.. ?

    I had a neuroma in my foot at one point a few years ago, and let me tell you, you get a shot of cortizone and few b12 shots in the bottom of your foot and you might start putting some consideration into your footwear too!

    Diablo - I think i'm going to give those a shot. If I hate them I'm sending you an invoice.

    certainly doesn't sound obssessive in your specific case... maybe I read too quickly but I didn't see anything about the neuroma in earlier posts, my bad

    Wasn't being aggressive amigo - just sayin! Although I do get a kick out of the guys that match their shoes and complete gym attire, guido style.

    I just started taking my shoes of for some things and doing them sock footed.
    So far so good, but they will complain I am sure.

    Been lifting in these Nike Free's for about two weeks now. I'm a big fan.

    Diablo - you will not be receiving an invoice. (unless of course thenextcutler you want to lie and we can bill Diablo)

    Oof ! not fun at all. I never realized how sensitive your feet really are until some crazy doctor was stabbing me in the foot with what seemed like a 4 inch needle. haha

    I train barefoot (the gyms in SE Asia don't give a fu*k).

    I also go running barefoot. People who run barefoot have far less chance of injury.
