Noticed a lack of information on this topic hence ill open a thread on this being a shoe lover.

We should not be fooled by the general misconception that running shoes are suitable for gym. They are not.

Serious lifters know which are the good stuff. So share whats yours, where can we get them and how to keep em clean.

Heres mine:

Inov8 Flite 235

Bought from: Key Power Malaysia

Age:1month



Pros: Best lifting shoe I have used thus far. Zero drop, extremely comfy and perfect for squats with the solid heel support

Cons: Gets dirty easily

Under Armour Micro G Elevate

Bought from: Under Armour Tokyo

Age: 4monts



Pros: Nice and solid shoe. Stable base for bench pressing and your usual gym workouts

Cons: Too stiff for crossfit type of WOD. Box jumps, cleans etc might not be suitable. Havent really done WODs in them

actually the inov8 is only rm238 after discount. RRP is RM459

there are bargains everywhere if u guys look hard enough..

incorporating it into my workouts. was purely doing bodybuilding type workout before this.

now am doing half marathons and crossfit as well.

not sure of any near the mines. i just go to regular gyms if theres no boxes nearby. Agym Fitness at Cyberjaya is good

where did u get this??

should be Vibram Five Fingers

im a runner too..tried lifting in my lunarglides or flyknits..was a total disaster..lol

but what i DO recommend is...u know those minimal shoes eg New Balance Minimus, Nike Free 3.0 etc..those are pretty decent as a running/gym shoe

stay away from cushioned shoes
