What you wear on your feet can have a significant impact on your performance in the gym. Running shoes are the last thing you should wear, especially if you want a stable base for heavy squats or clean and jerks. Weightlifting shoes, also called Olympic weightlifting shoes, are designed for heavy weight training and won’t distort under big loads. If you want to take your strength training workouts to a new level, consider buying a pair of weightlifting shoes.
