If you are doing your weight training, from a bench or using a machine, you can basically wear any sensible type of athletic footwear that you are comfortable with. However, if you are lifting weights from a standing position, such as you do in a clean and jerk, you should wear shoes specifically designed for weightlifting. These shoes are designed to give you maximum foot contact with the floor and traction at all times. They have heels which are raised between a quarter inch and a half inch, which helps to minimize the stress placed on your knees. Weightlifting shoes usually have straps around the middle of the shoes that are tightened like a belt. Make sure your shoes fit properly and are comfortable as well as being lightweight and breathable to keep your feet cool and dry.
