Why workout in steel toe work boots?

[sparetire]

didn't know that there was a dress code to work out I wear whatever, of course, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those boots..but I have seen guys come in and work out using their gloves, no fingers cut off, that they use for working in the yard...you know those big yellow work gloves...but i guess, if it gives ya motivation..oh well..

lol

I wear big yellow dish washing gloves because every time I go to the gym I think, "ewe, germs!" I also wear a hair-net.

Do you work out at your gym wearing Kodiak Steel Toe Work Boots?
just curious what the deal on that is.

we have a couple guys at our gym who do this.

I wear strong shoes/boots because I train heavy. I've broken toes before - dropping a 100lbs. dumbell on your pinky is not cool

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a people watcher, so when I'm on the recum-bike for 30-60 mins I observe others rather than observe myself.

Nothing is more interesting than "people"

When I'm deadlifting or squating I'm all business...

I'm really not to concerned with anyone other than myself in the gym.

I always train in Magnum police style boots. I actually feel stronger in those boots.

I don't think they would let those kind of shoes in my gym, 24 hour fitness.

People see them in magazines and think they become the next pro bb. It looks stupid. Next time you see them see if they are wearing a cut off flanel with mid thigh cut off blue jeans.

don't forget the mullet lol

Well, I did see a guy slide a 35lbs plate off a rack, and loose his grip. It crushed his big toe something awful. Sneeker was full of blood. My balls crawled up just looking at it.

I wear otomix high tops, but I always squat and deadlift barefoot (with socks on). I have seen guys wear their corcoran jump boots with loose laces. cracks me up.
