Best Footwear for Home Gym Training on Stall Mats
I have finally set up my home gym in my basement in Ohio with rubber stall mats and I am trying to find the best footwear for this surface. I find that some of my shoes are too grippy and almost feel sticky on the rubber while others slide around too much.
I have been lifting in socks lately but I am worried about dropping a plate or just losing my footing during a heavy set. I want a shoe that has the right amount of traction for a home gym environment. I have heard that wrestling shoes are great for this but I am not sure.
What are you all wearing in your home gyms? Do you prefer a dedicated lifting shoe or just something casual? I am also considering getting some of those thin deadlift slippers to keep things simple. Let me know what works best on your rubber flooring!
