What shoes do yall wear in the gym, I do new balance but just read that I should be wearing flat shoes to the gym. Not really sure what that means.

I wear converse which is a flat shoe. I can see why it's a confusing term, what it means is that the soul of the shoe is flat.

Flat shoes specifically apply to lifting because then your foot is flat on the ground and not elevated. Shoes that are not flat are like lifting while wearing a slight high heel. I like to think the flat foot shoes make me feel more stable when doing my lifts. However, if you are running I would definitely wear the new balance than the flat shoes. So it depends what you are doing in the gym.
