a little confused about what to wear. I currently wear cross training shoes, but dont know if basketball shoes will help any better. Im asking because there r some shoes that are more centered towards the front/back such as running.
I dont know if cross training shoes are like this. If u can tell me thatll b great. If im worrying too much, then you can tell me that too

I'd really hate to wear running shoes to the gym. It'll kill the cushinioning system and runners have zero lateral support, whereas weight shoes need a lot of lateral support. Runners will also be too high and soft... so they're actually the worse shoe you can bring to the gym. You would literally be better off in dress shoes.

For regular lifting days, I wear my brooks or mizuno running shoes because I'm hitting the treadmill at the end and I don't need any lateral support for arms/chest/shoulders
For Back days I'll wear running shoes unless I'm doing heavy deads or rack deads, then it's leg day shoes
for leg days: wore out my Chuck Taylor All Stars
got some Otomix Classic Hightops to replace them at the same price (much more comfortable) replaced those with Otomix Power trainers (on sale for less than good running shoes) I make sure leg day shoes have - good ankle support, NO sole to roll over (like cross trainers or running shoes) and can be cinched up snug and still be comfortable.
The C T Allstars are good, but have NO arch support if you don't have your own - like I do
The Otomix are far more supportive, but I also paid well below 1/2 retail for mine
You need stability for heavy squats or you are gonna get rollover and lose an ankle for a while, or a knee.lift big 2 get big

Depends on what else you do at the gym I guess...if you're gonna do cardio or somehting after running shoes would be the way to go, but I wear skateboarding shoes and they are awesome I find...they have a very wide/flat base so leg exercises are probably a bit easier (I've also tried runnning shoes and don't like them as much), they're more comfortable (IMO), and are great for people like me with wide, ducklike feet. One problem is that they have a lot more padding on the sides and on the tongue so they probably soak up more sweat then running shoes....just my two cents
