Having the proper footwear when training is key to muscle function and explosiveness in your session. Running shoes are built for forward movement, the soles of the shoes are curved with the tip bending upward and a thick thread for grip on the road. Performance training requires a shoe built for lateral movements, and repeated motion of weightlifting exercises. Ideally you want a shoe with a flexible forefront and a sole that has a very supportive heel to cushion the body when performing explosive movements. There should also be a slight thread that will help with grip in warm-up exercises and jogging but, not built for road traction. Take care of your feet, without them your workouts won’t stand-up.
