Does anyone wear these on a regular basis other than outside the gym?

thinking about getting some grey ones. or black. or whatever yall suggest.

only concern is my feet would look like clown feet.

[The_Cook]

yeh ide wear em if i didnt have big feet, some shoes just look weird on me since i have big feet but a small body

[voodoochild113]

Only in the gym

[av1atic]

[BuckSpin]

Forgive my destroying the age curve, but I saw the thread title & just wanted to add my tone on tone Chucks to the conversation:



My Leg Day shoes, plus I wear them quite a bit elsewise. Only $35 shipped.

[The_Cook]

someone aware me about chucks for lifting? is it because they have a very flat support?

yes.


and i wear the classic ones pretty often out of the gym.

something about the shoe is just f*ckin awesome

[NJMscle]

I used to rock them but they looked stupid because I have size 13 feet. I like nikes a lot better.

[The_Cook]

yes.

better for power transport.
there's a whole "bells n whistles" about it that i don't wanna get into lawl, but it just allows for better and more direct transfer of power and you are also more stable.

btw chucks aren't the "best" for squatting, the idea is to get as close as possible to the ground. shoeless is awesome

x2. You want your heels as close to the ground as possible. Think of all the times you have heard/read about "driving your heels thru the floor" as you squat, deadlift, etc. If you have a runner's shoe/etc, your heels are elevated already...not good.

A lot of people wear wrestling shoes to do leg work in. And yeah, if your gym allows, socks or barefoot is great. There are a lot of pics of Arnold & those from the Golden Era training barefoot....

[1-swole-brah]

ya, I wear the white on blacks 24/7

[allergic2rice]

then again, who would have the balls to tell Arnie in his prime to put on some shoes?

[otrebmu]

for lifting i wear some super low vans with minimal support. no not classics... i think they're the old geoff rowley model. very worn chucks in or out of the gym though.

[otrebmu]

Thanks and TMI....

nah brah, it's in good taste. in a situation like this the information is appropriate and (no homo) is unnecessary.

[muscleshakes]

Loved the 3/4 tops found 2 dark grey on clearance for 30 bucks each got em two years ago. But yes they are really my favorite shoes in gym or outside doesn't matter what I'm doing really. If I know I'm going to be at the zoo all day waking a lot with my kid I will slid in my dr scholls low back insoles. But really they are great with shorts bball shorts jeans sweatpants anything. I only buy the black & dark grey high tops though I have 4 pairs they last too - I like the feeling of flat and being low to ground I don't care if I'm cleaning the car. Doing chest or doing leg press lol. I just slide insoles in if I will be standing for 10 plus hours bc I wear to work almost every day. They look better scuffed up tho need to scuff up my new black high tops. I can't stand wearing nikes now it's like I feel like I'm leaning forward I dunno good for something's tho so I leave in em my gym bag. Funny tho I wear 12s in every single shoe but 11 in these so my large toes don't make me look like I have large feet they fit so good I have narrow feet plus I like that they are 50 bucks not 75-100.

[SilyCheeseSteak]

I'm thinking about using a vans blue boat shoe. I have some old ones. But they may be too loose. I'm currently using old Reeboks that are relatively flat. Heck, I may have to just pick up some CT's lol

[Mikebrah22]

I have size 17 feet and these look like clown shoes on me.

[minas25]

I have a couple of pairs that I wear fairly often, and I squat and deadlift in them. If I ever wear them for a long time my feets, knees etc get sore though.

Understand what guys are saying about them making their feet look big, I'm only size 11 and mine look huge.

[OGandrews]

I can't squat without them

[sgttom]

Yeah they are my shoes of choice outside the gym. Flat soles shoes are better for your posture and chucks look cool.

[Kiwisaki]

WAAAAY too thin for my feet to wear for more than an hour or 2 at a time. I still throw them on undone for walking around the back yard though.

[TwoCats]

I wear them every day.

[SomeGains]

i just go with vans

flat as well
