They get put in the washing machine every now and again but I imagine they smell pretty bad, they look absolutely atrocious too as the dog chewed the the back of one.

Post by: BB on August 17, 2017, 03:48:27 AM: You just want a flatter hard sole - Adidas, Vans, Converse, even the thin Asics Tigers work well. I also like the Merrell Glove line. I've heard good things about the Nike Metcons, but haven't tried a pair.

For Olympic Lifting or you like squatting with a heel, buy real Olympic Lifting shoes. Adidas is more or less the best choice for most people in terms of price and durability. In a pinch, plain better quality dress shoes or boot will give you the feeling of squatting and benching in a heel.

Those are driving shoes you fool
Title: Re: What gym shoes for leg day?
Post by: Fallsview on August 17, 2017, 11:40:17 AM: Depends on what kind of leg warmers you're wearing.

A nice thigh cut short with neutral leg warmers and a clean cut high top looks great.

Should turn a lot of heads.

STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by: Grape Ape on August 17, 2017, 12:24:40 PM: Gayer than having a "leg day".

But, for squatting and DL, prefer socks.

But any flat soled shoes work.

Title: Re: What gym shoes for leg day?
Post by: 14RS3 on August 17, 2017, 01:15:27 PM: I forgot they had a pocket! I bought them back in the spring of 2005 when I was still doing the bmx thing. By November I had torn my right shoulder and left knee in a dirt jumping crash. Learned that even though I felt 21 at 35 my body proved otherwise! After the surgeries it was February 2010 before I could workout normally again. Well, as close to normal as I can for being 47 and 5 surgeries later!

great shoe!
Agreed. They've held up incredibly well. Almost look brand new after 2 years of constant use.
Title: Re: What gym shoes for leg day?
Post by: oldtimer1 on August 19, 2017, 07:11:12 PM: If you Olympic squat meaning high bar placement and going down upright truly ass to grass you will do better with a shoe meant for Olympic lifting. If you do a power lifting type squat with low bar placement bending over somewhat with a wide stance as you go down then a shoe that's flat is better. Both should be hard soled. Never a running type sneaker.
