Your shoes matter more than you think. 👀
Running shoes are designed to cushion and absorb impact.
That’s great when you’re running.
But when you’re squatting, deadlifting or pressing, that cushioning can work against you.
A flat, firm shoe, or training barefoot where appropriate, gives you a more stable base to work from. Less cushioning means less movement under your feet and a better connection with the floor.
That stable foundation can help you:
• Create more consistent foot pressure
• Establish better positions
• Transfer force more efficiently
• Feel more connected to the movement
• Lift with greater stability and confidence
It doesn’t mean running shoes are bad.
And barefoot training isn’t for everyone. Consider the training environment, hygiene, foot health and your individual needs. If you’re not comfortable or confident training barefoot, a flat, firm training shoe is a great alternative.
It means the right shoe depends on the job.
Run in your runners.
Lift in something stable.
Train with purpose. 💪🏽
