Gym Shoes Thread

Stand on a pair of 1.25kg plates srs

I prefer minimal heel (yeah strange, I know) especially if you're used to squatting in flats, you'll have to adjust your setup lots to get used to the elevation.

I personally like to go Reebok for my next shoe, like this:

Or Nike Romaleos cuz they look erotic.

 

[White_Lie]

I used to do that, or a little block of wood.
Romaleos are nice, just exy

I like Reeboks but having crossfit on there is a major turnoff

 

[Jungnaut]

I'd wear it just to piss people off

Maybe ok standing on a disc with light weight, but trying to get your footing right on something with heavy weight sounds fkn dangerous.

Ps romaleos do look erotic.

 

[White_Lie]

So what's your recommendation Fudgey? Under $200 please

 

[Repacked]

Dunno dude, is it purely for squatting? The do-wins seem to be a bit cheaper at $140, Eastbay has Romaleos for $180 but then you've got shipping
The Inov8 s seem to be about about that $140 price and seem to be a proper heeled shoe and look pretty sexy, although if they're good quality the UGE one's are a good price. But hey, I squat in thongs bro.

As an aside, so glad proper Hurrache's are back, like the old school ones. They dope.

Aren't all Eastbay prices US though?
Mostly squatting, if they allow me to bring my legs back further when benching then I'll use them for that too. That's why I don't want to break the bank on a pair, they'll likely only get used a couple of times a week

 

[Bradders]

The inov8s are prob the best quality shoes I've ever had

 

[White_Lie]

Actually had to Google Hurrache as they didn't ring any bells...seriously dood, they are muck! These would suit you though

 

[Repacked]

Yeah USD, forgot about that. Bradders recommending the Inov8s. You might only use then weekly but they should last you

Where you been dude? Hurraches were the shiz when I was about 15. Had better colour-ways then though.

 

[White_Lie]

I probably wasn't born when you were 15 lol

Pffft at the most bro.

You're probably older than me kunt.

I picked up a pair of Adipowers from Eastbay a year or so ago. Really nice shoe. Less bulky than the Romeleos, and imo look better for it. Limited colour ways though if that's your thing.

Use them for all my squat and press worksets. For the extra $$ spent, they more than make up for it in their quality construction, which I'd hazard will last longer than some of the cheaper alternatives.

 

[StrungOut]

To be honest, I am amazed how much colour etc is getting talked about here. Most you guys would like rainbow anyway

Whatever Cecil
What year were you born? Eh eh?

 

[Jungnaut]

Rainbow is so last summer, Black and lime is the 2015 Fall look, FYI [MENTION=16378]StrungOut[/MENTION];
