What shoes should I wear to the gym?
Cross-training shoes are great for pretty much anything you’ll do in the gym (besides treadmill running) because they’re flat enough for your feet to properly grip the ground while strength training and performing compound lifts, yet cushioned enough that when you land on them, they’re forgiving on your joints.
Can I use running shoes for gym?
Can You Wear Running Shoes for Training? Running shoes don’t provide enough stability and support for lateral movements, so they’re not recommended for training at the gym. Doing plyometric moves in running shoes, particularly if they involve side-to-side movement, can increase your chances of injury.
How do I choose shoes for aerobics?
How Do I Pick Athletic Shoes?

- Re-lace the shoes.
