I wear my old pair of these

I was just thinking about what shoes I should buy for the gym.
I don't want my air maxes getting all dirty, but it's what I've been wearing currently.

>>37010903
Where I am, the shoes in OP are only £15.

>>37010903

Get something that isn't squishy like that.

Why the fuck wouldn't you have lifting shoes if you're at all serious about lifting?
Sure they're like $100+ but you'd literally use them for years

If the floor gives you enough traction, then fine. But if it is even a bit slippery, you can easily hurt yourself in socks.

Are you squatting on an ice rink?

>>37011073

Friction obviously becomes greater in proportion to the weight you're squatting.

Most people would not be able to afford a ferrari nor the upkeep
Most people can afford lifting shoes without a problem, and there's no maintenance

You're retarded

Flat Nike's with the soles taken out for deadlifts and variations. Adipowers for everything else.

I bought a pair of lifting shoes before I injured myself. Never really got to use them. My feet were a bit swollen trying them on that day -- really swollen and thick socks probably -- and I bought them one size too large, I think, trying them on today. Can't really return them now.

Should I sell them or wear lifting shoes a little too big for me?

I got them for $50 Canadian on sale so im not going to complain.

>>37011253
Depending on where you got them, you might still be able to exchange them for the appropriate size if they're in great condition. If not, I'd recommend you sell them and buy ones that fit you. WL shoes can't work their magic unless they are snug.

>>37012748
I have a pair of white ones too, for casual wear tho. My old pair are still functional and they were my main shoes for everything for the better part of 5 years. The bottoms look barely used its crazy. I'll probably always have a pair of them the rest of my life desu

Fuck black and white converse, that's so boring

Dickies trail running shoes. >still a noob

>>37011166
Lifting shoes have a raised heel. For squatting lifting shoes are much better, though converse do the job just fine

Squats - Adipowers (red/orange)

Deadlifts - Reebok Crossfit Lite TR

Bench/OHP - Do-Win weightlifting shoes I got cheap

Cardio - Brooks

I have no life right now so I don't mind spending money for the gym.

Is it a bad idea to get a pair of Slip-on Vans ( no shoelaces) for squats?

OP pic related except all black

they're so old they practically look green now though damn i need some new kicks

Theres a guy who does squats barefoot at my gym... I am patiently waiting for the day snapcity punches his ticket.
Though he has some seriously flat feet.

Why aren't you wearing converse?

>>37017806
since you own a legit pair of lifting shoes i'll ask you : have you tried running in them? i'm sure just from the way they look they wouldn't be suited for it but just thought i'd ask.

are there any shoes suitable for running (more like sprinting, not jogging) and lifting?

>>37017854
there is no way I'd ever run in the squat shoes. you can lift in the trail running shoes in the pic though.

>>37017879
do you think i'd be better off using my Nike running shoes to lift in? I do have a pair of New Balance trail running shoes I could break out. I'm still lifting beginner weight so I guess it isn't critical yet

>>37017819

muh exact shoes my nigga

>>37010854
Where to buy Chucks in Australia? Like which stores have them that I can go in and try them on? Don't want to order online.

>>37017923
you can get away with running shoes for lower weight but I'd not really recommend. just take off your shoes if you don't want to get different shoes to squat in.

>>37017963
i've started swapping out these >>37017784 for running shoes after i'm done lifting. It's not a big deal and it gives me an excuse to sit on my ass for a couple of minutes. but I'm all about efficiency and would rather have one shoe to wear while doing both

>>37017982
I getcha. yeah I never tried Etnies to squat in, but I imagine they're good as long as they're hard soled-basically, you just don't want a shoe compressing on you under heavy weight.

>>37018030
they have good hard soles. they're skateboarding shoes so they stand up to rough treatment. back in the day i loved chucks when i could get them at sears for thirty bucks, but they're too expensive for me now when there are comparable quality, cheaper alternatives. fucking hipsters ruined chucks, then levis jeans, dickies pants, carhart shit too.

>>37018057
seems good. I got my chucks for 50, and that seemed alright. now the squat shoes were much more, heh.

>>37010889
Me too.

>>37018076
yeah, i've looked into the prices. I'm not excited about that, but i expect they'll last for a long ass time. so, let me ask you...at what weight did you start using squat shoes?

Adipowers for squats/cleans, some old chucks for other shit. I also buy a pair of some cheap adidas running shoes off the sales once a year, helps me keep my cardio game fresh.

>>37018164
other guy here, I hit 3,5plates and thought its time to get some proper shoes instead of wobbling with some old sneakers, just for ankle safety desu.

Newfag. Why are shoes so important for lifting and squats? What could happen if you have the wrong shoes on?

>>37018561
if your sole is soft it impacts ur lifts as it compresses when u pick up the weight

>>37018561
If you're trying to squat in running shoes you'll have shit balance thus making it much harder to do. Having flat soles help keep you level and let your body actually balance itself. Next time you're at the gym, try squatting with running shoes and then try bare foot.

>>37018577

>>37018577
>>37018605
Thanks. Also, what is snapcity? I know it's an injury, but I how can I avoid it and what would I be potentially snaping?

>>37018561
Just avoid running shoes. Get a flat hard soled shoe. I squatted with running shoes for a couple weeks before I got some shoes and it really does help. The compression in the sole of the running shoe made my legs slightly imbalanced when coming up causing my legs to sort of bend inward. The hard sole just make it easier to have good form.

>>37018625
a back injury from improper form when lifting weights. just lift with good form and your solid.
