Aren't those trainers nothing more than reversed stilettos?

Just gonna chime in with my 2 cents.

I've used these.

Don't use them.

Some background- played high school and very low level D1 ball (I say played, but I was the guy who got garbage time minutes and sat 99.9% of the time; only reason I was on the team was because I could shoot from the outside).

Used these in high school and some college. Was told to throw them in the trash once I got to college and started working with trainers.

Realistically they don't add any value over traditional weight training, weighted vests, and just doing a crap ton of stairs/soft sand/hills.

They do, however, add a significant amount of injury potential. The simple nature of the shoes overloading the calves can easily result in a pulled muscle and twisted ankles.

Is he just meaning weight training/gym shoes or the BSK ones that are supposed to help your vertical?(as mentioend above)

OP, elaboarte. But as said, just buy some on sale somewhere. Plenty of deals out there..

This X 10.

I used to use them in high school and would constantly have shin splints that would have me aching when walking in regular shoes. That didn't go away until I got rid of those shoes and just started doing more weight-time in the gym to train my legs.

I second this. I used them in my early 20's and rolled my ankles on off days playing pick-up at a much higher rate than usual. And since (almost 20 years later, knock on wood, have only had random ones stepping on someone's foot for example) I think they worked a little bit, but the overload on the calves was real and made you susceptible to injury for sure.
