Barefoot for deadlifts, flat plims for squats0

Running: Nike or NB trail runners
Summer Hiking: XtraTuffs (the Alaskan version of Boggs) or my trail sneakers. I laugh when I see tourists walking around town in August in giant super insulated Sorels when I've just come back from being on a glacier in sneakers.
Winter Hiking: XtraTuffs, Chippewa Loggers, or Ranger PacBoots (from the auto parts store) and depending on conditions I'll add one of several different versions of ice grippers. This winter I've added a pair of Salomon hiking boots to my arsenal. Mainly to work with my snowshoes.
Lifting: socks0 -
Althetech shoes. I'm cheap, but they get the job done, so I really don't care. They are light, comfortable, & don't make my feet feel overheated.
Or I exercise barefoot, since I'm always at home anyhow.0 -
reebok real flex-seriously in love with them buttttt i think they will die on me soon! so new pair to come!! so this is a perfect topic for me0

None. I train at home so I wear nothing on my feet for weights, and when I run on the treadie I wear socks (can't go barefoot cos the belt will eventually make my feet sore/burn-y).
If I didn't have to wear shoes for work I'd seriously never wear shoes... I am quite the classy lady.0 -
Brooks Adrenaline for me. Had a gait analysis done and this is what they recommended. Have to say they really did help.0

Yeah, me too.
I feel a bit silly spending so much on them, but they are really comfortable.0 -
Saucony very nice shoes0

Vibrams for pretty much everything.0

Whoa I've never seen people in my gym train barefoot before. I think it's a rule, in fact, to always have covered footwear on. What's the logic behind training barefoot? (Not trolling, genuinely curious)
I prefer it for lifting. No potential compression and resultant lateral shearing force when squatting and dl.
Now I'm relegated to an unheated freezing garage, I train in chucks due to the small hard sole giving a solid lifting base.
I still prefer lifting barefoot though.0 -
