Which, if you’re stuck late at the office and it’s all you have under your desk, is perfectly fine. running shoe fitting store houstonBut if you’re really serious about getting fit and staying injury-free, you probably want something a little more specific. best five finger shoes for walkingSo we asked five experts around the country to recommend the perfect shoe for your particular gym needs.nike football shoes from china Our expert: Kent Edwards, trainer at Crunch Gyms (New York)nike high tops navy blue and white
What to look for: You want a low-profile shoe, which will keep you lower to the ground and help prevent injury risks like ankle twists while you’re throwing around lead. “When you’re lifting, you don’t want that cushion because it doesn’t allow for your muscles to actually fire optimally,” Edwards says. nike dress shoe brand“For example: When you’re doing a deadlift, minimal shoes allow for a more stable base and a closer contact to the ground, which means the heels and midfoot can drive into the floor, making the glutes and hamstrings work more efficiently.”cheap nike shoes from uk What to buy: New Balance Minimus Trainer ($99.99). “You don’t feel like you’re gonna slip. I deadlift in it. It keeps you very in touch with the ground. Very secure, without feeling barefooted. Very grounded, very rooted.”
(But if you’re feeling old-school, Edwards says nothing can beat a Chuck Taylor.) Your sport: Spin class Our expert: Kate Lemere, Nike master trainer (Chicago) What to look for:”The most important feature of a Spinning shoe is the sole,” Lemere says. “Choose a shoe that has a very stiff sole to transfer the power produced by your leg and glute muscles directly to the pedal. This maximizes output and minimizes the amount of effort you spend on any one pedal stroke. If the sole is too soft or cushiony, the shoe absorbs power and efficiency is compromised.” As for fit, “the heel should be snug and the toes should have wiggle room.” What to buy: Shimano R088 ($120). “I prefer an adjustable ratcheting buckle for the best fit. From previous injuries, I have weak ankles, and this type of buckle makes me feel the most stable and secure.” Your sport: Running on the treadmill Our expert: Jay Dicharry, director of REP Sports Performance Lab (Bend, Oregon)
What to look for: It might seem absurd to get a different shoe for the treadmill. I’m just running, you say. “Most treadmill decks have way too much cushioning in them already, so you don’t need any extra in your shoe,” Dicharry says. “Too much cushion in the treadmill coupled with a lot of cushion underfoot equals a vague feel. This vagueness in what you feel from the foot can hamper your body’s own strategy to stabilize itself quickly. While running, the foot is in contact with the ground for a quarter-second or less. If you can’t stabilize quickly, you’ll wobble around, and this creates a whole host of issues related to injury and economy.” Something thin, lightweight, and flexible. What to buy: Saucony Kinvara ($110). “It has a responsive feel that lets my foot work as it’s designed. It also breathes well, so you can build up quite a lot of heat in your feet (and whole body!) running inside.” Our expert: Dan McCarthy, owner of CrowHill CrossFit (Brooklyn)
What to look for: “We want a shoe that has flat soles and that doesn’t have any cushioning,” McCarthy says. “We need your foot to feel like it’s on the ground, not on a cloud or a marshmallow. We always want your foot to get stronger, and this will allow your foot to act most like a foot.” Ditto for arch support. “The arch of the foot is a tremendously strong structure, and supporting an arch from underneath is a fantastic way to weaken the structure significantly," McCarthy explains. “Oh, and you should try and steer clear of any kind of traditional running shoe.” What to buy: STR/KE MVMNT Interval 2 ($69). “I look for a light and flat shoe that lets me run, lift, and jump to the best of my ability. These are that: light and flat and well-made and affordable.” Your sport: A little of everything Our expert: Rob Sulaver, personal trainer at Bandana Training (New York) What to look for: All-purpose athletic shoes. “It’s as if a tennis shoe, a running shoe, and a lifting shoe had a baby,” Sulaver says.
