Poll: Foot-wear for Weight Lifting (unlimited choice)

[Debinmi]

Just for kicks & to fill the void while we await the new series:

What footwear do you wear when doing weight-lifting workouts? You can mark as many responses as applicable to you.

 

[Debinmi]

I used to always wear zero-drop cross-training shoes for weight lifting workouts. This past year though I've started going barefoot while lifting. A few times I wore those Tucketts grippy socks Cathe showcased in the new series. And a few times I've worn my Birkenstock sandals or clogs, but quickly kicked them off in favor of going barefoot. As winter and colder temps come on, I may go back to cross-trainers.

I used to go barefoot...until I dropped some piece of equipment on my foot too many times or walked into the weight bench, fit tower, STS dip bars, or floor fan too many times! I have broken a toe twice due to this. I have been working out over 30 years, so I guess 2 toe breaks isn't outrageous. I would prefer barefoot.

 

[Debinmi]

Yeah, that is a concern. I've never dropped a weight, ever. However with all the equipment strewn around the room, I've become very conscious of where I place my feet when barefoot. Stubbing a toe, twisting an ankle, breaking something could put you out of commission for awhile.

I don’t seem to be able to cast multiple votes so I chose other.

I typically am barefoot but sometimes opt for ballet slippers. I bought Cathe’s grippy socks but they’re too big for my feet.

I sometimes wear water shoes if the workout I’m doing includes bands or tubing. Ballet slippers work well for this too.

I own zero drop shoes but rarely wear them.

I do want something on my feet for band work where you step on or pull from the feet, so if I'm barefoot I'll slip on my sandals or clogs.

Cross-trainers or walking shoes for me, depends on what I am doing next…..only time
I am “shoe-less” (socks) is for stretches, yoga moves, etc.

No need to be sorry. I probably did something wrong.

I didn’t think it was taking both of mine, but it did….

If I'm doing heavy squats in my squat rack, I wear my squat shoes.
Otherwise I wear my Reebok Nanos.
For my Cathe's I wear a crosstrainer.

I usually am barefoot - depends on what I did first.
