Gym Footwear

[Battossi]

What are you wearing in the gym for footwear?

I was looking at some Ryder shoes the other day and it got me rethinking my choice of footwear. Right now I wear a New Balance Minimus shoe with great ventilation and a very low drop (3mm). I am starting to think about wearing a high top shoe though for extra ankle support. I'm worried about ankle mobility though. Especially for squats.

The same shoes I wear day to day because that extra couple of pounds I can add to my squat (if any....) is not worth the extra money because I don't compete.

If you have pain or problems ...it's more likely due to form or motor patterns. Just my .02 though.
