I work out here and there, I prefer going barefoot. I do so at home, however most places won't allow that. For hockey I had to go to the gym regularly by the trainers I liked wearing Nike Frees.

The 5.0 trainers... I know they have some new ones now but I feel they are too clunky. Same with normal runners, they are way too big and clunky, I have also read that running barefoot is better for your feet as it makes them stronger where runners ruin them with the big midsoles...

Either way, I just prefer something light like frees or barefoot...

^ i go barefoot too, unless im on the cardio equipment( treadmill, stationary bike, etc). But when i do freeweights and all my toning and condtiioning exercises i go barefoot, feels a lot more comfortable to me. I guess I'll have to buy a pair of soes to work out in though since I've finally convinced our school to spend some money and let me put together a workout room, can anyone suggest something light and comfortable that is relatively inexpensive?

beaters but to run the nike frees are the best. they work ur feet and calves up real hard and it pays off.

>New Balance 991s for general training.

>Jordan XIV for basketball.

>Vince Carter Shox basketball shoes whenever I decide to drop 45 lb plates on my feet from the height of a stationary bench press bar. Thankfully, this scenario has only happened once to me. :(

go for cross trainers, you won't believe how much difference it makes. running shoes (and casual shoes) are designed to flex and facilitate a heel to toe motion. on running shoes, you often see the heel part of the outsole split in half, isolating the outside of the heel from the inside. this is because when running and walking, you strike your foot on the outside of the heel and transition to the inside of the toe for a push off (the GAIT cycle). a cross trainer will generally be lower profile, have a flatter outsole, and offer much better lateral support for weight lifting.

I usually wear Adidas Copa Mundial Indoor, which is actually a futsal shoe.

And for running, Reebok the Answer VII's. Those are far from real running shoes though. :D

I've been doing long distance running pretty seriously for like 3 years and I still use those since I don't feel very comfortable in most running shoes I've tried.

I am also in the barefoot crowd. It depends who is working the gym tho...some care some don't.

If I do wear shoes it's usually just my running shoes (asics). I will not do squats with them tho, no side to side stability.

Squats = barefoot if at all possible.
