We’re big advocates of wearing a workout shoe that’s actually specific to the type of training you’re doing – it means better support, performance, and protection. That being said, you’ll always catch someone sporting an everyday sneaker in the gym – and there are some that pass the mark. One of these is the Vans Ward Sneaker, and John Lewis has slashed its price to just £18.
This Ward is particularly popular shoe for weightlifting. Why? It mainly comes down to its flat sole, which enables better balance and a supportive, stable base for heavy lifts, like squats and deadlifts, helping you drive through the floor with more power. It’s a good alternative if you don’t want to splash the cash on a specific weightlifting shoe, and at this price, it’s an absolute steal.
Sizes are incredibly limited and flying fast (as you can imagine at this price). However, if you don’t manage to snag a pair, don’t worry – the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star trainer and Adidas Sambas, are also on offer. Similar to the Vans, these are common amongst the weightlifting community, thanks to non-compressive soles.
