hey guys you will probably wanna hit me for this but do you reckon its ok to train in rabens?
doing such things as squats, deads etc etc
i have a set of orthotics i can put in.
also while we are on this with my squat my left ankle rolls quite about in during my squat and my toes seem to point out a fair bit too feels normal for me. ill get some vids for you soon if you need me to
 
rabens are more than fine to workout in. i workout in rabens for the most part. they are fine to work out in if you have good feet mechanics.

it sounds as if you have a problem that makes your ankle roll in which is no good.

do your orthotics help?
 
haven't yet tried with them in will do next session.
ahh glad they are ok i know some people deadlift bare foot but the rest might of been diffrent.
 
Iv'e recently just bought a pair for my dead's. Previously was going barefoot but it's a **** around in the gym, so the rabens do the trick. I wouldn't use them for squats though, i like a like heel elevation/support.
 
I personally couldnt train in rabens, didnt have enough heel support for me.
