What Shoes Do You Wear To The Gym?

[ENP]

If you are going to the gym and don't intend to do any running what type of shoes would you wear? It would be to do weights, rowing, gym class, cycling, etc.

Best running shoes or some old sports shoes or something else?

[ThePman]

If I'm squatting or pulling I wear the Chucks. For anything else, just my old pair of runners.

I wear chucks when deadlifting or squatting. Any other day...chucks.

Why chucks?

[ThePman]

They've got a flat sole, so it's the next best thing to being barefoot. A lot of shoes have contours in the soles that make squatting and pulling feel really unstable.

I wear runners for most exercises, but get down to the socks for deads/squats. It's just what I've become accustomed to. I don't feel as steady squatting or deadlifting in my runners, whereas without them on I feel much firmer on the ground, not as restricted as wearing shoes, and can also tilt the toes up as well as get a better feel for if I'm pushing up through my heels

I like to wear the runners to the gym in case I have time to throw in a quick run on the treadmill after a weights session :nod:

Yet to try Chucks though, may give em a blast. Would certainly be a solid platform.

Yeah, at the gym I just wear some 'N' cross trainer shoes. Just happened to be the only sports sorta shoes I have and they do the trick.

Used to just train in bare feet at the home gym. Prefer bare feet.

Trainers. $19.99 from the Ware-Whare. They do what I need them to do, without having to be a fashion statement.

[Sheta]

I mix mine up. I have 4 pairs so I rotate them; epsesh as I'm on my footsies all day.

Love coming home to bare feet.
