Going barefoot is what I do now. It's technically forbidden at my gym but I haven't been told off for it yet haha. I don't see anyone else lifting barefoot though :/ I just want to get proper shoes because it lowkey feels gross and I'd like to get proper equipment for this new hobby. (Like technically you can wear "fashion" beachwear to swim but it's best if you have a proper swimsuit, right? Hope I'm making sense here)
After reading the responses here I'm starting to think barefoot shoes might be the best option for me. Thanks for your input!!
I spend a lot of time barefoot so I'm not super concerned - plus I've been training to keep my balance on the balls of my feet rather than my heels for my sport. I can always take advantage of generous return policies if I feel that it won't work out. :) I appreciate you sharing your experience.
You could also look into lifting slippers like Notorious Lifts. They have soles like shoes but are fabric on the top like slippers. They're in your budget.
Thanks, I will check them out!
