The Best Shoes for Indoor Rowing
Power transfer, connection, and form all start from the feet. For indoor rowing, shoes with thick, cushioned soles act like little energy sinks—absorbing power that should be driving the stroke. That’s why I recommend weightlifting shoes: the firm, raised heel boosts power delivery, adds stability, and can even shave valuable tenths of a second off your time. If you’re serious about technique and speed, give them a try—and you might find yourself rowing stronger than ever.
