Best shoes for strength training

The shoes you train in matter for both form and pelvic health. You want to make sure they are bendable, have a wide toe box and have a very minimal (to no) heel drop.

These are my Strong Like A Mother training shoe favorites! Also, more minimalist shoes benefit kid’s feet too! Here is a list of kid’s shoes by age that I love.

(Please note, I do get affiliate commission when you use the links. But, I promise these are the shoes I love and use myself. I appreciate your support!)

    WHITIN Women's Minimalist Barefoot Shoes
These are LEGIT COMFY. Honestly, these might be the best shoes I’ve ever owned. I feel like these are the perfect minimalist gateway shoe. They are a little bit more padded than totally barefoot shoes, have a great toe box and they look really stylish.

WHITIN Women's Minimalist Barefoot Shoe in black

These are the same brand as above… but a slightly different look. These come in half sizes, unlike the above model, so you can get the perfect fit.

Altra Women's Solstice
These are a bit more pricey and the shipping is extra, but they are so stylish and come in a variety of styles. Stylish enough to wear with jeans or a dress, but practical enough you can wear them to train.

  • Cost: $129 + shipping
These are a great “middle of the road” option as far as price point. Only downside is they have limited colors.

Feel Grounds Courtside

Looking for something you can lift in and also take out for a run? Then these are your shoes. These are a little more supportive and padded than a barefoot shoe. But, they’re still minimalist enough that you can connect with the ground. Also, they have a great toe box for toes to splay and they are super light and breathable.
