Hi all,

I just wear my Brooks Ghosts when I lift (I'm halfway through stage 5)---I bought them for walking and running and since I don't run anymore, they're my gym/walking sneakers. What do you all wear when you lift?

J.

    Just socks for the bigger lifts(DLs, Squats, etc). Just a regular cross trainer with a low profile or New Balance Minimus for the other exercises and HIIT.

    I can't imagine going barefoot, though I hardly wear shoes outside of the gym :) Thanks for the input!

    Flat as all get out Nike cross trainers! Thinking about those foot shoes though, they look effective!

    I ended up ordering some Reebok Cross Fit shoes off their outlet website for $30 with free shipping! They came today so I'll give them a try on Wednesday. :)

    I picked up a pair of flat trainers a while back from a clearance store. My size is incredibly difficult to get, and they cost me a grand total of... $7 :wink: :laugh: I :heart: them.

    I lifted in my new shoes today and it was great! I felt much more stable.

    I have been lifting in my Vibram Fivefinger shoes (bought on clearance for cheap), Last time I did this program I used cross trainers but when I started this week again I noticed my form is a lot better in the barefoot sneakers.
