Don’t Wear Running Shoes while Strength Training

[@samrushowic332]

Lol at “if your like most runners, you probably don’t even work out”. Totally true

"if you are like most runners, then you probably don't even work out."
man, im in this video and don't like it lmfao

[@sethwilliams6008]

I just use converse to train. I don't want to dish out the money on lifting shoes

[@kuriosites]

100%. Just some old fashioned Chuck Taylor Converse.

[@mr.budders8740]

Litterally just about to comment this, but realized theres most definitely someone who beat me to it

[@seanvonlost]

It’s the opposite at my gym, everybody who clearly doesn’t run wears Hoka’s with really high stacks.

[@sharnaepegues7025]

I thought Hoka’s were good for running 😭😭 I was gonna purchase some because I need new running shoes

[@kevinamin3]

​@@sharnaepegues7025hoka's are running shoes and are really nice. Go for last years shoes and you'll get them for cheaper as well.most of the technology is still the same.

[@sherosls]

@@sharnaepegues7025 Hoka makes great running shoes! I love mine. I think they meant folks were using Hoka running shoes to strength train at their gym

[@AsianNIGMA]

Principle is still the same for lifting, I’d rather wear nothing than wear Hokas for lifting

[@VictorCNwokedi]

Bruh I use same shoes for football, futsal, sprinting, jogging, workout and so on 😂

[@aclim8192]

What shoe do you use?

[@edenmilk]

Short budget is the reason why i choose daily training shoes. Its versatile, durable, and cheap 😂.

[@CentralParkWMD]

Totally agreed! Yes, too much midsole cushioning isn’t ideal for the training. What is your next race and when are you running in the city? Would love to “social run” with you if you have a group run in the future weekend!

[@nicholashe1198]

I think he’s training for the Houston marathon

[@CentralParkWMD]

@@nicholashe1198 got it. He ran many and I wasn’t sure which one. My next is NYC United half marathon and I wish I could find a group whom I can run with in the city~

[@johangahr22]

We must stay focused brother
We must

[@Taylor_3110]

Ok not to hate or anything, but not all of us have the money to have a million different pairs of shoes. I only have one pair of running shoes.

[@Xndrrgaming]

Tough fucking luck buddy get your money up vans are $60 dollars and are good strength training shoes keep making excuses

[@Dazumu]

An easy solution is to do all your stationary workout with the shoes on, and then do the heavy strength workouts like Squats and deadlift barefoot.

[@scottjhayes]

I use the Brooks Hyperion Tempo for both. They do a good job for both running and lifting. One pair both tasks!

[@ronnie323]

You got me with the fake fall while lowering yourself on one foot

[@jayinthelongrun7453]

im fine with my retired trainers. i dont do heavy lower exercises anyways. id rather buy another pair of running shoes than buy some metcons. i use my old cliftons, ultraboosts, and infinities for db lunges and my balance is fine.

[@quantum0151]

I used to have only 1 pair of shoes as a kid and i got into lifting at 15. I always noticed how hard it was for me to squat because i had no balance.

[@mouahmong]

Nike metcons aren’t very good lifting shoes. Go with Altra Soltice or Altra Rivera 2’s or Altra Escalante. Those are all zero drop and have varying levels of zero drop cushioning. The other big plus is that you’ll be able to fully splay your toes for better balance during compound lifts like deadlifts.

[@user-ii2rf8cs8j]

Thx for the tip!

[@paddywiggle]

Altra Escalante Racer, with the sockliner removed. The foot bed is made to be stood/ran on without it. Amazing lifting shoe.

[@ronnieboombaba6899]

Very important which most people ignore. I have like 7 pairs of shoes all for different days, speed workouts, easy runs, interval, resistance etc.

[@sebalanis2182]

all those shoes just to run a mid time lol

[@Ahonghekiaaksisj]

Wow

[@Drooploop]

@@sebalanis2182 depends on the person but in reality at least two to three shoes are all you need to improve

[@AG-xt6ei]

@@sebalanis2182 😍

[@koyaedgar1979]

I got 8 pairs

[@dayglotonite]

👀 Metcon 8 found at Orangetheory. The treadmills have plenty of bounce. Metcons are a power play on the weight floor and tower.

[@devashishpareek5642]

use a flat foot shoe for strength training maybe converse or any other canvas shoe.

[@ofinnie]

That's good advice, I started wearing Xero barefoot running shoes back in November of 2022.. When the weather got warm I ran outside for the 1st time in the Xero barefoot running shoe.. NEVER again, lol.. After about an hour of walking, jogging & sprinting; I could barely walk.. Needless to say, I'm going back to running outside in CUSHIONED running shoes.. lol..

[@over1498]

It’s ok I only do chest and Bi’s

[@mikeg8357]

YO CHOI. TOO MUCH GOOD KNOWLEDGE IM ABOUT TO BUSST

[@Drooploop]

ayo

[@BlancoJose24]

I use merrell vapor glove 5 for strength training and walking.

[@Andrew-ry9be]

Bro I just lift barefoot. Keeps me rooted enough just fine for squats and deadlifts.

[@JustMeMark]

So true

[@eatcheesekobe]

unless you at home or a private gym, you can easily get kicked out for that

[@3AmericanPie]

IT'S TRASHY AND DISGUSTING BARE WALKING. GROSS!🎉

[@salvasied]

very good advice

[@swordfish3720]

Me wearing Alta’s to run the treadmill because I immediately do weights after running

[@shang_chi8626]

Yeah truly said I ordered metcon& zoom next alpha🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brayan8346]

I use Hoka Arabic 6 most of the time at the gym. Unless it’s leg day it doesn’t really matter. Lower body day it’s the Nobull Crosstrainer for me.

[@jh1328]

Chuck Taylors are my go to lifting shoe. Cheap and have zero drop.

[@brianwj5]

But the metcon has a 4mm drop... Most running shoes have a 5-10mm drop depending on the brand. Under Armour makes the Tribase Reign 6. It has a 2mm drop and if you take the drop in midsole out, you can make it a zero drop.

[@vipinrana7697]

Not everyone has enough money for different shoes😑

Buy a cheap pair of shoes that have no high stack and are flat go to a local ross or walmart with cheap shoes. Or you dont have to wear shoes, you can go barefoot

[@Franco-yo6vn]

I use metcons too for strength training!

[@deathchambers84]

Solid advice

[@scottjhayes]

I agree that most running shoes aren’t great gym shoes but I run at the gym on the treadmill so I need one pair to do both tasks (running and lifting). I love the Brooks Hyperion Tempo. Does both tasks really well.

[@gladlock]

Depends on your foot. Brooks shoes gave me plantar fasciitis because there was a solid ball of support under my arch that would bend my foot when I tried to do squats. my pain was so bad I dropped the bar bell and pulled a muscle. Anything that modifies your arch is bad news for lifting

[@kieransoregaard-utt8]

@@gladlocknothing you’ve said is even remotely correct

[@gladlock]

@@kieransoregaard-utt8 what do you know about my feet and my experience? Nothing. I am informing, take it or leave it. Pay attention to power lifters and see many wear converse, as flat as they get.

[@daleycatch]

Went to the gym to run on the thread mill today, weight rack was empty so decided to go lift some weights in my new Pegasus 39. Whoops. 😂

[@iosifkovalenko8364]

Pegasus 39’s are fairly versatile and work for both. They do have a higher drop but their firm enough for strength training. Personally, I workout out barefoot at the home gym and prefer other shoes for running

[@DuncanMcCarthy]

* and if you can’t afford lifting specific shoes, flat sneakers like vans or blazers still work and are probably already in your closet

[@NicoNMY]

I only use a flat shoe when I’m training my legs.

[@AG-xt6ei]

Im convinced nike is behind him

[@confirmationscafu2331]

[@MungoBootyGoon]

It's completely fine to wear running shoes if you do mostly machines instead of freeweight workouts

[@jennychapman621]

I really wanna strength train but I just can't be arsed.. its not my thing 😢

[@rknine7998]

Keep everything separated. After my 6 mile run in 47 minutes, I remove my running shoes and wash them. I then change to my daily walking shoes. Running shoes is only for running.

[@kieransoregaard-utt8]

Why did you put the time?

[@BladedBishop]

On point!

[@uyi2g4eva]

The metcon is NOT zero drop! Great shoe for CrossFit / medium to light weight lifting though. A close cheaper option is the reebok nano range

[@teotheodore]

Most of the time if we’re lifting at a practice I’ll just take off my shoes and have socks on

[@OhNehNee]

im gonna use my older pairs of running shoes for lifting

[@orangegatorade2471]

Converse are the best shoes to strength-train in for the general population

[@crazycat-dh2yf]

I just were xc flats but I’ve gotten so used to them that weeding road running shoes don’t work for me

You should preface by saying lower body exercises and deadlifts. I use runners all the time for upper body training

Doing that in general isn’t optimal, it takes away benefit from the strength training

I made that mistake and almost lost the weight over my shoulders because my shoes were to cushiony and I rolled my ankle which I knew not to wear so I just took my shoes off. Now I just wear my vans.
