How to Choose Training Shoes
Flat and stable for lifting, cushioned for running—don't force one shoe to do every job forever.
For barbell work, a firm, low-stack shoe (or dedicated lifter) beats a soft running shoe that squishes under load. For zone-2 walks and runs, cushioning and fit matter more.
Try shoes later in the day when feet are slightly swollen. If you pronate heavily or have pain history, a specialist fitting beats influencer lists.
