People frequently asked the Canadian bodybuilder why he only worked in socks and not in shoes like other people. He certainly opened up about his socks’ preferences over shoes. He uploaded a video on his YouTube channel, where he talked about his morning routine and revealed the reason behind him wearing socks while training.
“I’m just going to mention these really quick. You guys know me I’m a sneaker-head. I love nice, shoes but they F**k my feet up,” says the king of aesthetics. While answering he also showed his new shoes which looked really awesome, he shared every detail of the shoe “This is Calvin’s pain with a Fu**g fog out here but uh these are called zeros or x e r o I have these LMS and Vivo Barefoot. I’ve tried them all. These are my favorite they’re like a Barefoot shoe with a wide toe base.”
He continued and explained he likes to walk and train without shoes because it’s hard for him to find wide-toed shoes that fit comfortably. He not only does intense training this way, but also does cardio without shoes to let his feet and toes breathe.
