Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use running shoes for training instead?
Running shoes are designed for forward motion and typically have more heel cushioning and less lateral support than training shoes. While suitable for treadmill running or light gym work, they're not ideal for weightlifting, lateral movements, or high-intensity training where stability and support are crucial.
How do I know if I need a low-drop or zero-drop shoe?
Lower heel-to-toe drop (the height difference between heel and forefoot) generally provides better stability for lifting and functional movements. If you primarily do weightlifting or prefer feeling connected to the ground, consider shoes with 4mm drop or less. Those doing more jumping or plyometric work might prefer slightly more drop for comfort.
What's the typical lifespan of training shoes?
Training shoe longevity depends on workout frequency, intensity, and types of activities. With regular use (3-4 times per week), expect 6-12 months of performance before the sole wears down or support structures break down. Signs to replace include worn tread, compressed midsole cushioning, or loose upper materials.
Should training shoes fit differently than running shoes?
Training shoes should fit snugly with minimal heel slippage and adequate toe room for lateral movements. Unlike running shoes where some prefer a looser fit, training shoes benefit from a more secure fit to prevent foot sliding during multidirectional movements, though they shouldn't be uncomfortably tight.
