It's not like it is 1990 and when finding the damn things was practically a quest for fire.
I ask as I've taught the basic lifts to maybe half a dozen men, and one woman, over the last five years or so. I'm certainly no great coach and haven't handled the volume of people a professional would.
But despite keeping up with their lifting the entire time I knew them only one, the lady, bothered to buy proper shoes.
It's not like they are that expensive and all of these people had jobs.
Am I just routinely dealing with morons?
And I've heard just about every possible excuse from "my Converse work fine" to "bringing an extra pair[of shoes] to the gym is too much trouble."
What is the deal with this?
