Timely thread for a question I have!

So I did barbell squats today for the first time. Immediately afterwards, I had some pain in the inner arches of my feet. Is this indicative of a problem with my form or my shoes?

I was wearing running shoes today but I'm planning to try it barefooted during my next workout.

Running shoes can definitely be the problem. It's a layer of squishy-ness between you and the ground, which counteracts the taut-ness your body will get from good form. There are tons of options for shoes that have solid, non-squishy soles, but I prefer to just go barefoot.

Thanks, I'll def try going barefoot then!

Bit late but I wanted to update, it was definitely the shoes. Barefoot let me go deeper with no pain :) thanks again!
