When you consider the price you can pay for a good pair of sneakers or other sports shoes, it really make sense to invest in a pair of shoes that can make such a difference to the lifting experience. You do not need to spend a lot of money to get weightlifting shoes.
Proper weightlifting shoes resolve these issues by providing a stable, non-compressible sole that improves the efficiency of the lift and helps you keep good form, reducing the risk of injury. The heel on a weightlifting shoe also makes it easier to keep your torso upright, knees in the right position-slightly in front of the toes, and to get into a deeper squat. You will not only notice that you have a better sense of the weight, allowing you to push with greater force, but you will also be able to sit back better and keep your heels on the floor. Many lifters find that after trying weightlifting shoes, they can't believe that they ever were able to lift without them. Indeed, famed author and strength coach, Mark Rippetoe, states in his book, Starting Strength, that weightlifting shoes are the only real piece of personal equipment you need when performing a squat.
Your bed's mattress is for sleeping, not squatting. But when you squat in sneakers it is as if you are performing the lift while standing on your bed. The shock absorption provided by sneakers is great when you are jogging, but the compressibility of the sole hampers the squat (and other lifts) in multiple ways. Primarily, the absorption in sneakers is actually absorbing part of the energy you are forcing between the floor and the barbell. This in effect reduces the efficiency of the lift and causes you to lose strength you could be putting into lifting more weight. Second, lifting in sneakers makes the foundation of your squat and other lifts unstable.
In the many years that I have being going to the gym, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have seen lifters working out in proper weightlifting shoes. It seems that while other athletes will wear specialty shoes for whatever sport they participate in, most weightlifters do not consider the benefits that proper shoes can make to their performance and strength.
Our God given machine of motion still explodes power in this day and age!Yet, weekend runners who barely run a tenth of a marathon are spending hundreds of dollars to buy advanced technology for their feet!Why is the man on the street spending so much on high tech shoes when marathon runners and hunters happily thrive without them?The answer is advertising and product branding.Shoemakers astutely noticed that city folks are mostly overpronators or underpronators. Hence, in an effort to capitalise on this underlying dysfunction, they design shoes that support and cushion shock. Consequently, detaching and depriving the foot from its primary role as locomotion point guard.
Overpronation, Underpronation and Neutral Feet
More than 75% of city dwellers are either overpronators or underpronators. Essentially, it means that your feet lose their ability to accommodate ground unevenness and absorption of daily walking stress. Your foot has curved in one direction and cannot return to neutral state think of it as a jammed window that cannot close.In its functional state
Cheap LV Sunglasses, our feet are made to pronate; curve to suit the contours of the ground. This is how we can run side ways on slopes and edges without tumbling over. Hence, feet with full range of pronation can walk, run, jog barefooted and not injure themselves (assuming you are not silly enough to go running on broken glass).Since the foot has lost its ability to fully pronate, shoemakers generally believe that a shoe has to be padded, cushioned, gelled and reinforced. The reason being that it will make up for the feets loss of pronation range. Hence, the natural progression towards spending millions on technology research and charging you hundreds of dollars more per pair.
This instability makes every lift seem as if you are performing the movement for the very first time. Good technique is developed by reproducing the correct movement over and over; however this is simply not possible when done on a surface that is unsteady. Finally, lifting in sneakers can be considered somewhat dangerous, especially when performing Olympic styles lifts. Landing from a jump on a surface that is unstable can cause balance and technique problems which can easily result in injury, especially when using heavier weights.
