  • Training shoes...

    Looking for a new pair of shoes to wear at the gym, trying to find something in the $60-100 range, I need good linear and lateral movement support, light, durable, and comfortable...I am trying to stay away from running shoes because they do not give me the all around support I need when I train, oh and I hate the idea of wearing chucks at the gym, I know there great for lifting because of flat sole, but I am not gonna torture myself or be uncomfortable for a flat sole that is slightly better for deads/squats...thanks for any input

            Do or do not. There is no try!

              I need to check out the nike outlet for some trainers. Using my older running shoes with a flatter bottom just isn't ideal.

                Ditto. Running shoes, especially old ones, arent always good for working out

                  Ended up picking up a pair of Chucks for my friends wedding in May (all the dudes are wearing black high top chucks with the tuxes/suits) and used them for the first time today with leg day. What a difference over running shoes. Just feel like you have a much more solid base.

                          I tried to lift without shoes today and was told not to by the gym owner. Shoes are necessary. Kinda blows

                              Tell me about it. Very frustrating.
