I just wanted to post up a recommendation for a good shoe. It's from the brand Innovate and the model is the Bare-XF 210. What I like about it best is that it has zero rise from heal to toe and that the sole is one piece. I started to search around for a good pair of cross trainers after I ripped the sole of a shoe while pushing a heavily loaded prowler. Also since its practically like being bare foot, I don't have to take my shoes off any more to dead lift, a practice frowned upon by my gym. It allows for a better sense of weight distribution as well.

And they don't look bad either.
Since I lift at home I use wrestling shoes for squats and deads and for everything else I use 1 of my pairs of running shoes.

What's a pair of those run?

I was just about to ask who likes to wear their (old) wrestling shoes for working out in? I was thinking about buying a new pair for just that reason since I destroyed my old wrestling shoes.

They are fairly cheap and last a long time.
Both of those equal a good deal to me.

I bought mine from Dick's online for $100.

Thanks.
I have one of those stores fairly local so I'll stop in and see if they stock them.

Chuck's for lower as I need a high top shoe for squats and deads to put more weight on the outside of my foot. I use minimalist shoes for everything else.

Good to see that I'm not the only one who uses old wresting shoes, LOL.

I used an old pair back in high school during gym (2001-ish) and got weird looks. I love the barefoot feeling.

I would have stayed with Adidas myself, and truth be told, the Innovate pair is brutal for running sprints, but the Adidas just fell apart pushing on the sled.

the inov8s look interesting, I just got a pair of toe shoes and they feel pretty good.

I have been waiting for the nike romaleos 2 2013 run, I know I don't need high-tec olympic lifting shoes but it's be nice to try the out.

Mine that I still use are from 1999!!!
Used them 8th grade and threw out high school and still use them 2+ times a week now.

I've read good things about the UA like of footwear.
I've only tried them on and walked around the store.
Are they really that good??

Pretty much always take my shoes off for lower body. Otherwise flat canvas nikes or vibrams..

I've been wanting to try out a pair a vibrams for squats, and squats but the darn things are expensive.

I loved my vibrams, but they didn't love me back. I have fallen arches, and I found that with time, it hurt my knees to walk, run, or squat with them. It wasn't until I got back to fully supportive rx orthotics and good shoes that I could walk pain free again.

Good shoes, though. I'd sell my nearly new size 9s for half price and throw in some socks if you guys are interested.

Shoes are at the bottom of my to buy list right now since the right foot is in a boot.

I experienced the same the with my feet and vibrams. I was experiencing quite a bit of lower back pain and foot discomfort to the point that I went to the foot DR, and he told me to steer clear of them.

I lift in wrestling shoes and even run in them, but I'll put an arch support in there for my horribly flat feet. I need to invest in a good pair of running shoes. I like asics for both wrestling shoes and running shoes.

My everyday shoes are asics. The gel in the forefoot is great.

This is by far the worse shoe for lifting or cardio!! Lol

I have used asics for the last few years, but recently bought some under Armour shoes and I am quite happy with them.

I know the girls love it or at least the ones that have seen it.
Even have a date with a girl I met at the end of 2012. Lol
