The importance of proper footwear:
We’ve seen athletes snatch 365lbs while wearing Nike hi-tops at CrossFit East River. Ahem, well just Kendrick Farris did that, but it illustrates a good point. Shoes don’t make a good lifter. That being said when you’re ready to build a whole new level of intensity into your weightlifting get a pair of lifting shoes. Nano’s are a good jack of all trade show but they aren’t ideal for lifting. Here’s an article on the subject.

PS: Don’t ever show up to the gym to workout in flip-flops, ever.
