The other day I was reading an article on form for different weight exercises. It said not to wear shoes with cushioning, such as running shoes or cross trainers. I always wear running shoes when I lift. What is so bad about this?
So should I get different shoes or just lift barefoot? I exercise in my basement.

the cushioning creates unwanted movement and instability.
you want-
barefood
chucks
vibrams
mimamlist shoes
power lfiting shoes
roughly in order of least expensive- to most expensive.
barefoot is an excellent option. or your socks. So much more stability than cross trainers.0 -
What type of running shoes? I wear Skoras, a minimalist style running shoe for lifting and they work great! As long as they don't have a lot of drop they should be fine. You don't want to feel your toes pushing forward when you're squatting.0

My running shoes are stability shoes. I usually run on the treadmill for 15-20 minutes before lifting, so I can just take off my shoes and lift barefoot. No big deal.0 -
