shoes or barefoot

[5$ whore]

well im doing the 5x5 squat routine so far iv been doing it in just in my socks or should i do it in my running shoes?

im not sure if this is the right place for this

btw i managed 63.5kg today

The stronglifts 5x5 guy uses shoes such as these and i copied his example

If you use shoes, use shoes with a hard, incompressible sole and good heel support.

If your gym is cool with you in your socks then by all means keep lifting in your socks.

Otherwise get chucks.

I would get some stable sports shoes or any kind of exercise.

i lift barefoot whenever possible. running shoes are for running. not squatting

 

[blackbeard]

I would lift barefoot as well but i wouldn't wanna scare the folks in the gym away.
