BAREFOOT SHOES >>> This might ruffle some feathers, but after making the switch to a flat, wide toe box shoe, maybe you’ll understand my POV. I now cringe at the thought of wearing any other shoe for heavy lifting in the gym. Even converse makes my toes feel constricted while lifting, and don’t even get me started on running shoes… These are a big no for me when lifting - just look at how wobbly my ankles are! Can’t expect to lift your heaviest when your shoe isn’t providing your feet/foundation with the solid support it needs. A solid foundation is key for lifting heavy, and your shoes play a huge role. Flat, wide toe box shoes allow your feet to spread naturally, giving you the stability, power, and strength you need. Once you try them out, you noticeably feel the difference. Don’t believe me—just try them for yourself 👀
