Footwear

What type of footwear do you guys wear at the gym and why?

Do you use the Chuck Taylor Converse cheap option? some whiz-bang cross trainer? Specialist lifting shoes? Or a shoe that is all smoke and mirrors like the Nike Free 5.0?

Tmacs-reasoning no laces and they are a real flat shoe

I used to lift barefoot when I lived in a house and could have equipment at home. That's taboo at a gym though I think. I miss those days.

I wear skateboard shoes to the gym. They are my everyday shoes. If I go jogging outside, then I wear jogging shoes.

	"Strength is the product of struggle" "Your greatest challenge isn't another person. Its the burning in your lungs and the burning in your legs, its the voice in your head screaming STOP you cant do anymore. But you dont listen. You push harder and you start to hear a the whisper of YOU CAN. You realize you are not the person you thought you were is no match for the person you are."
