SQUAT Footwear⭕️
Very often people wonder which shoes should be worn during squats… and there are indeed options such as WL Shoes that can make the exercise feel more comfortable and stable!
The reason why they help, is because they elevate your heels up and bring the foot in a more “plantarflexed” position (pointing toes). Since many people don’t display great levels of ankle dorsiflexion (toes to shins), this option can make up for it.
This can end up being a reason why our squats may not feel comfortable or feel as efficient as we’d like… so it’s a good idea to test out which foot wear works best for you.
Of course practice will take care of this over time, but for the mean time, you can experiment with WL shoes or even by simply placing 2.5kg plates under your heels, to get it done!
Experiment and see what you like more!
