Most Versatile Shoe! Converse All-Stars! Running In CHUCKS CHALLENGE! | Dr K & Dr Wil

A number of folks come into our office asking what type of shoe is best for running, training, powerlifting, etc... Enter the Converse All-Stars aka “Chucks” or Chuck Taylors. They have been around since 1917 and were originally used for basketball and became the official shoe for the Olympic Games from 1936-1968. They were also the official athletic training shoe of the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II. Bodybuilders such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Powerlifters such as Eddie Hall, and Boxers such as Rocky Balboa also train in CHUCKS. That being said, CHUCKS may be the Most Versatile Athletic Shoe!

Prior to the advent of running shoes, CHUCKS were THE SHOE of choice and were essentially the original “ZERO DROP” shoe.

Below is the link to the article titled “The Barefoot Running Craze” by MC Schraefel, PhD. Highlights include how “no style-specific running shoe has ever been shown to reduce injury!” Also, “running barefoot or in minimalist shoes may improve performance.” Bottom line, “good form — which includes impact forces and compliance — can protect us from injury and improve our performance far more reliably than any type of shoe.” Below is also the link to the article by Mark Remy from Runner’s World titled “I Ran In Chucks....and Lived!” So, accept the CHALLENGE and get out there and MOVE regardless of the athletic shoe!
