What are your go to gym shoes? ✨

For me, I have the 270s, Prestos, and Metcons on rotation. I wear the Prestos on my upper body days, the Metcons on my leg days and also when I do cardio. The 270s are a mix of both but I can not run in them.

I absolutely love how the Metcons move when I do different exercises. A great shoe for any type of training.

Prestos: 7/10 makes my feet slide(inside)

Metcons: 10/10 form fitting

270s: 5/10 makes my heels feel elevated

What is your go to type?

... Read moreWhen it comes to choosing the right gym shoes, comfort and function are paramount. Nike's Metcons are highly regarded for their stability and form-fitting design, making them ideal for weight lifting and cross-training. On the other hand, the Prestos, while versatile, may not provide the same level of support during intense workouts and can cause your feet to slide within the shoe. For cardio enthusiasts, the 270s offer a stylish option, although they may not be suited for running due to their elevated heel feel. It's essential to evaluate what activities you'll be doing in these shoes to determine the best fit. This article encourages readers to share their own experiences and preferences. Have you tried any of these options? What are your must-have shoes for the gym? Let's discuss the importance of selecting the right footwear to enhance your fitness journey.

I wear different shoes depending on what I’m doing. If I’m doing a lot of cardio I’ll wear my brooks, I really like them too. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Metcons, but I haven’t taken the plunge with the price yet. If I’m doing legs I’ll wear my crocs or hey dudes. They’re super comfy.

Gym shoes I recommend based off training
Choosing the right shoes for your workout is key to getting in a good run or a good lift. During different workouts you want to wear different pairs of shoes. For example, on days you go for a run you will want a much different shoe than on a day you train legs. Here are some tips to picking the ri
