Of course, these are simply my personal favorites & recommendations.
There are probably other brands out there that people swear by, but for me these are my go to favorite workout shoes!
GENERAL TRAINING
NoBull Trainers
$99-129 (https://www.nobullproject.com/collections/womens-trainers)
I LOVE my NoBulls. (You’ll probably see that because I recommend every type of their shoe lol) They are my all time favorite shoe for a traditional bodybuilding workout or CrossFit style metcon! Comfortable, cute & supportive, but gives you a solid/flat surface to lift on.
DEADLIFTS
NoBull Trainers
$99-129 (https://www.nobullproject.com/collections/womens-trainers)
Again a great shoe for any type of lifting, including deadlifts!
Chuck Taylor All Star Low Top
$39 (https://www.converse.com/shop/p/chuck-taylor-all-star-seasonal-color-low-top-unisex-shoe/162453MP.html?pid=162453MP&dwvar_162453MP_color=punch%20coral&styleNo=161421F&pdp=true)
Can’t go wrong for deadlifts with a regular old Chuck Taylor lol. In my opinion, the flatter the surface the better!
OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING & SQUATS
NoBull Lifters
$299 (https://www.nobullproject.com/collections/womens-lifters)
A little on the pricy end, but dang they’re cute. Plus they have a wood bottom, which I’m a huge fan of! Getting a shoe specific to any type of squatting movement with a raised heel can help tremendously. Especially if you have mobility issues (Obviously, improving your mobility is a good idea too lol) & they can help to get you into a better position at the bottom of your squat.
Reebok Legacy Lifters
$189 (https://www.roguefitness.com/reebok-legacy-lifter-white-black-women-s)
Another great option for olympic lifting or squats but not as pricy as the NoBulls. I personally haven’t tried these out, but I do have an older pair of Reebok lifters that have lasted me ages.
RUNNING
Asics GT-2000 7
$120 (https://www.asics.com/us/en-us/gt-2000-7/p/0020003763.401)
During my collegiate track running years, the only shoe I’d run in were Asics! They’re very supportive & overall a solid pick for a running shoe if you’re planning on getting in those miles. I still do my longer runs in Asics, but sometimes I’ll switch & use my NoBull runners on anything less than 5 miles!
NoBull Runners
$159 (https://www.nobullproject.com/collections/womens-runners)
Another great pick for a running shoe, plus (again) SO CUTE.
