Shoes for a gift?
Hey all I am doing some christmas shopping for my boyfriend and i’m a little stuck. I wanted to get him a new pair of shoes cause his are all worn down but i have no idea where to start.
When my boyfriend goes to the gym he usually does lifts with machines, a few things with the smith machine (upper body), a few dumbbell workouts, and sometimes incline walk on the treadmill. In the summer he also plays pickleball a lot. He seems to wear one pair for everything.
I am looking for a shoe with a bit of a wider toe box and pretty good support. In the summer he tore a ligament in his ankle…should I go with something that has a bit of ankle support?
Upon research I see a lot about Reebok Nanos or Nike metcons or ADIDAS Dropsets. These are kind of the main ones i’m looking at. I guess my question is… should I pick one of these and hope for the best? Does anyone have any other shoes recommendations based on the information I have provided? Would it be better to tell him i’m going to take him to a running store to get him shoes fitted that would be best for him specifically? Any input would be greatly appreciated! (bonus points for any other lil gym related gifts you can think of), thank you for your time!
