TRAINING SHOES VS RUNNING SHOES 2024 (An Inside Look!)

[@jaaz5531]

And here in my country i see 90% of people use running shoes in the gym for everything. 😢I was one of them. They need to watch this.

[@thatfitfriend]

Haha, we need to some gorilla marketing for the channel then!

[@denali_essau_james]

what country you from?you look pretty nice want to meetup?

[@paulinabrazauskaite7446]

Thank you❤️🌟

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you for checking out the video!

[@andresamell9367]

very educational. thanks, Jake!. NGL my heart broke a bit watching these two pairs being torn apart

[@thatfitfriend]

Same...these are low-key two of my favorite shoes atm for running and lifting

[@quantum0151]

I used to be that person that wore running shoes for everything. My parents weren’t able to buy me more than 1 pair back in the day so I had no choice 😂. No wonder squat, lunges, and any leg exercise that wasn’t running or machine presses, felt like shit. My ankle would wobble so much. Definitely buying the drop set 2’s. Especifically for squatting/leg day. I still use running shoes as daily’s tho for walking, runs, and grocery shopping. I’m only doing legs 2x a week so.

[@thatfitfriend]

Love it - that's the move, imo!

[@TroySpringer11]

Nice shoe choice. Boston 12 are my go-to running shoe and I just got the Dropset 2 for the gym. Never used to lift in proper lifting shoes growing up. I feel like shoes have become a little more optimized for different purposes today than 5-10 years ago.

[@thatfitfriend]

Boston 12s are sick. Been loving mine...sad I cut them for this video NGL. It's cool seeing how far shoes/biomechanics have come!

[@pathchampion]

Pretty cool. Are you gonna do a cut in half review of the Dropset 2?

[@thatfitfriend]

Yep, coming out this week!

[@pathchampion]

@@thatfitfriend Awesome!

Hello! I have the gym 2.5 km from my house and I want to go running, what shoes can you recommend for easy running and then training at the gym?

[@thatfitfriend]

Reebok Nano X3 / X4, Inov-8 F-Lite G 300, RAD ONE could all work!

[@arielelsesser6124]

@@thatfitfriend Thank you!! Greetings from Argentina!

Hey Jake I’m sure you get comments like this a lot, but what would be the best running shoes that don’t negatively affect your feet? For example I know the barefoot shoes help your feet stay in their natural form but I know a lot of running shoes are narrow and can cause a reverse affect..

[@thatfitfriend]

That's such a loaded question, so please keep in mind that there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer here. If you're wanting a running shoe to more replicate a barefoot shoe, AKA wider with a zero-drop construction, then you can explore Topo Athletic or Altra. I wouldn't say they're the "best" though as that's subjective based on context!

[@_jasonseverson]

@ thanks for getting back to me! Would you suggest finding a running store to get my foot shape/form looked at for a better idea of what to get?

[@haf2193]

What more suitable for jump rope exercise?

[@thatfitfriend]

I’d get a pair of trainers with a plusher midsole. Then you can get a separate pair of running shoes for running. The jump rope could flatten the midsole of the running shoe faster than you’d like, imo, especially if you want to run in them, too

[@masonsmith9177]

Any recommendations on training shoes that can also handle a 1-2 mile run? I was looking at the TR1s

[@thatfitfriend]

TR1s could work!

[@MinatoNamikaze-ib7vq]

Are there shoes offering a middle ground? I want to do both. I am going to be lifting, but I'm not lifting very heavy, and i am going to run a bit. Does Nike Air Zoom TR1 fit this criteria?

[@thatfitfriend]

Air Zoom can be a decent option for sure!

[@MinatoNamikaze-ib7vq]

@thatfitfriend thankyou so much

[@Craigbarnes5868]

Running shoes are awful for leg exercises like squats and lunges in the gym, training shoes are simply a requirement.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, I'm with you there. Better to invest in the right tools out of the gate then "wait" until you need them, imo.

[@mven777]

Which shoes then will be good for long walks?

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd go for a running shoe if you like a plusher ride. Trainers for long walks that I like include RAD ONE and Haze Trainer!

[@mven777]

@@thatfitfriend Thank you

[@Mgking107]

Can we wear slip on shoes? For gym?

[@thatfitfriend]

Depends how you're training, but yeah, technically! Just gotta factor in training intensity and security

[@momenshahba8921]

Running shoes: looks fashionable, feels better. Training shoes: looks ugly, feels stiff and primitive. I use running shoes and i take it off when squatting etc…

[@thatfitfriend]

@@momenshahba8921 just tools for accomplishing different jobs, brah

[@neerajnagi4231]

Jake is that brainy Sigma type fit friend. You never said anything about walking isn't a trainer a better barefoot transition shie

[@thatfitfriend]

LOL, I guess I'll take that? It can to some extent depending on stack height and midsole density. That can be an entirely separate video, though!
